"Tension de seuil" would normally be something like the cut-in voltage or conducting voltage in English. I don't know what "in order to overcome" is about here, but "forward operating voltage" would normally just mean the voltage applied to the diode in the conducting state of a normal (i.e. non-Zener) diode – "tension directe". http://www.engineersgarage.com/tutorials/diodes http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Electronics_Handbook/Components/Diodes/PN

tension directe

My comment:

About diodes, "tension directe" is most commonly used, but if somehow you want to be more precise, in my opinion you can use "tension nominale directe" or "tension directe nominale".
