I was under the impression that a diode-connected transistor is either a BJT with base connected to collector, or a JFET with the Drain and Source tied together. Can someone who is more of an expert than I confirm this? ----Miles — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.32.13.9 ( talk) 20:12, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
The CALY Technologies products for example use the acronym "Current Limiting Devices". And they have bidirectional ones, and even the unidirectional ones seem to be described by a distinctly non-diodic current-voltage curve. Perhaps defining it as a "shorted JFET" or even a "diode" at all is too narrow these days? -- RProgrammer ( talk) 17:36, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
