    Why does the piezoelectric component application have to accompany the diode?

    Answer

    Piezoelectric elements have piezoelectric properties that generate a voltage when they are mechanically deformed and the deformation is restored.Therefore, when the piezoelectric element is subjected to mechanical shock/deformation, a voltage is generated across the ends.Remember that the piezo element or the component containing the piezo element should be properly secured or covered to keep it from mechanical shock.
