👉 The term "discoidal" is a technical term used in the field of electronics, specifically related to the design and fabrication of diodes. A diode is an electronic component that allows current to flow when there is no voltage applied across it. The name "discoidal" refers to the shape or appearance of a diode, which can be either rectangular or circular. In electrical engineering, a discoidal diode is a type of diode that has its terminals located on a disc-shaped surface
