Well here is a picture of how this particular three legged diode looks and a spec sheet for it that explains how to connect it.

    Thanks for the links.  I looked at both, and read most of the pdf.

Seems someone changed the definition of a diode. I think this component is a bit more.
First,  Di means two, ..... I thought.

It appears he got the wrong component to start with. Can't see why anyone wants this device if all he wants is a diode.

I understand that everything changes over time. Yet I have a hard time accepting the fact that the lowly diode has changed into a 3 legged critter.

I suppose it works like a diode when connected as the drawing.

Nevertheless, I think everyone should learn the old fashioned definitions, theory and use before progressing to new devices that are in fact misnamed.
