Hello everyone,
I have a bunch of diodes of the SMD type packaged in tape and I believe they are more than 500. As far as I remember, they were ordered by a mistake so I put them aside. They were kept in an anti-static plastic bag without any markings, PNs, or anything else that could help in identifying them.
As you can see in the following photos, they look like a Schottky or normal signal diode and the voltage drop across it is 0.550V.
Now, I was wondering if I can use this type of diode in a full-wave bridge rectifier circuit to rectify 220V mains. This way, I can utilize them for something useful.

Thanks in advance!
