break down reverse voltage . it means the max. voltage can apply on diode in reverse direction without damage
BDV- breakdown voltage of an insulator is the minimum voltage that causes a portion of an insulator to become electrically conductive.
BDV- breakdown voltage of a diode is the minimum reverse voltage to make the diode conduct in reverse. Some devices (such as triacs) also have a forward breakdown voltage
