2016年5月11日 · Zener Diode Definition: A Zener diode is a special type of diode that allows current to flow in reverse when a set voltage, called Zener voltage, is exceeded. Working …

2015年12月16日 · A Zener diode is a silicon semiconductor device that permits current to flow in either a forward or reverse direction. The diode consists of a special, heavily doped p-n …

The key difference between a PN junction diode and a Zener diode lies in their current flow behavior. A PN junction diode permits current flow only in the forward direction, blocking it in reverse. In contrast, a Zener diode allows current to flow in both forward and reverse directions, making it ideal for voltage regulation applications.

Zener diodes are a special type of diode. Like other diodes, they are essentially P-N junctions and allow current to flow while they are forward biased. However, unlike other diodes, they are also designed to allow current to flow when negatively biased.

We offer high-reliability Zener diodes, including Axial, Stud Mount, SMD/SMT, Through-Hole and military-qualified diode regulators for aerospace and defense applications.
