	There are at least two kinds of '''sampling diodes''' used in classic Tek ~~sampling~~ gear, GaAs junction diodes and Schottky diodes.		There are at least two kinds of '''sampling diodes''' used in the [[Sampling gate\|sampling gates]] of classic Tek gear, GaAs junction diodes and Schottky diodes.
	It is easy for these diodes to get destroyed by ESD. They are designed to have low capacitance, which means that a small amount of charge can produce a potentially damaging voltage across the diode.		It is easy for these diodes to get destroyed by ESD.
