The SF12 diode has a cathode (-) and anode (+). In the schematic symbol, the tip of the triangle with the line on top of it is the cathode. The cathode is marked on the body of a diode by a band as shown below.The current can flow from only the anode to the cathode and never from the cathode to the anode - the SF12 diode is like a one way electric valve.You can replace the SF12 with the SF13, SF14, SF15, SF16, SF18, SF22, SF23, SF24, SF25, SF26, SF28
