ZMY8V2-GS08 diode is a type of single Zener diode, which is a component featured in electrical circuits to protect those circuits from electrical surges and high voltage. Zener diodes are designed to breakdown when a predetermined voltage is exceeded, and thus, allowing current to bypass or short the protection circuit to guard electronics from damage. The ZMY8V2-GS08 diode is sold by several component distributors worldwide and is used as a component in many circuit designs and applications.

Application Field

The ZMY8V2-GS08 diode is commonly used in voltage regulation, circuits and is particularly useful where reliable voltage regulation is required over a wide range of current levels. Applications include television sets, various power supplies, and circuitry requiring temperature compensation. It is also often used in computer and communication systems, audio equipment and so on.

Working Principle

A Zener diode, like other diodes, will allow current to flow in one direction only -- from anode to cathode. It is non-linear voltage device which exhibits a significant decrease in its forward voltage drop as current increases. This property is due to different doping levels of the two junctions which forms Zener diode. When the voltage across the Zener diode reaches its rated value, the diode breaks down, due to avalanche effect caused by the increased injection of charge carriers, in both directions and so, allows current to pass in either direction.

In the case of the ZMY8V2-GS08 diode, it is designed with a maximum power rating of 500mW and a maximum operating temperature of 85°C. It has a maximum reverse voltage of 8V and a regulated voltage of 7.5V. The maximum allowable reverse current at peak reverse voltage is 500 μA and the capacitance between terminals is of 2pF. It is designed in a SOD-123 package which features an Hermetically sealed glass case.

The working principle of the diode described above is greatly useful when representing the protection circuits featured in many electrical applications. The diode helps to protect those electronics and circuits from voltage abuses, power surges and high voltage levels, while also keeping it within a specific voltage level. Thanks to Zener diodes our electrical systems remain safe and sound.
