text: Diodes also have a maximum reverse voltage they can withstand before they break down and allow current to flow backward through the diode.
text: However, all diodes have a maximum reverse voltage (usually 50V or more) and if this is exceeded the diode will fail and pass a large current in the reverse direction, this is called breakdown.
