Working Principle of the 1N5230B-TP Zener Diode

A zener diode is an electronic device consisting of a semiconductor junction whose electrical properties are specially designed to produce a controlled non-linear conduction. The 1N5230B-TP Zener Diode is designed to conduct electrons in both directions above a certain reverse voltage, resulting in a stable reverse voltage across its terminals regardless of changes in current. The result is a controlled PN junction breakdown that implements a voltage regulator function.
