Working Principle

Description

Zener diodes are semiconductor devices that allow current to flow in the forward direction like a regular diode, but also allow it to flow in the reverse direction when the voltage reaches a certain threshold known as the Zener voltage. When the Zener voltage is reached, the diode starts to conduct in the reverse direction, providing a stable voltage reference or regulation.

Sensor Types

Zener diodes

Dos And Donts

Donts

  • 1: Do not exceed the maximum power rating of the Zener diodes.,
  • 2: Do not apply reverse voltage beyond the maximum reverse voltage rating.,
  • 3: Avoid exposing the Zener diodes to extreme temperatures.

Dos

  • 1: Handle the Zener diodes with care to avoid damaging them.,
  • 2: Use appropriate current limiting resistors when connecting Zener diodes in circuits.,
  • 3: Ensure proper heat dissipation to prevent overheating of the Zener diodes.
