Diodes - Zener - Single

The 1N5234B-T is a Zener-type single diode which is a reliable and efficient way of protecting an application from excessive voltage. This diode is also used in regulating the voltage in an application, typically a linear voltage regulator circuit.

The 1N5234B-T is a 3.3-Volt Zener diode with a maximum power rating of 500 mW and a maximum reverse current of 5 mA. The diode features a hermetically sealed glass case for superior performance and reliability. This diode can also be used to prevent sudden voltage changes in applications, including relay and solenoid circuits.

The 1N5234B-T can also be used for voltage clamping in a variety of other applications, including surge protection circuits, analog and digital switching, short circuit protection, over-voltage protection, and for rectifying single and dual power-supply systems.

Working Principle

The 1N5234B-T diode works on the principle of reverse-biasing a diode with a voltage higher than its breakdown voltage. When the voltage is applied to the diode in the reverse direction, the current flows through the diode, resulting in a regulated voltage output. This Zener breakdown effect is also known as avalanche breakdown and occurs when the electric field between the anode and cathode become high enough to pull electrons from the semiconductor layers and create a current flow.

The 1N5234B-T diode regulates the voltage to a constant level. The voltage is selected by choosing the Zener breakdown voltage of the diode, which is specified in the datasheet. The device features a maximum reverse current, referred to as the Zener current, which determines the minimum Zener voltage the device can sustain.

The 1N5234B-T diode also features a maximum power rating, which defines the maximum current the diode can handle without causing damage. This is determined by the current handling capability of the diode, its power dissipation, and its temperature rating.

Finally, the device features a hermetically sealed case for protection against environmental effects, such as dust and moisture. The case also provides mechanical stability and reduces the noise created by inductive and capacitive components.

Conclusion

The 1N5234B-T diode is an effective way of providing a steady output voltage and can be used in a wide range of applications. It works by reverse-biasing a diode with a voltage higher than its breakdown voltage and can handle a maximum reverse current to sustain a minimum impedance. The diode is also protected by a hermetically sealed case for excellent performance and reliability.
