Working Principle

The Zener diode circuit works by allowing current to flow in one direction while blocking any current to flow in the opposite direction. When the diode is connected in a circuit and the voltage reaches the diode’s breakdown voltage, the Zener effect causes current to flow from the anode to the cathode. This reduces the voltage across the diode, which can be used to create lower and more stable voltage levels.The 1N5236B-TP is designed to consume minimal energy in order to protect components and prevent overvoltage. It is designed with a low breakdown voltage and a high current level, which allows the diode to automatically regulate the voltage level when the power and current are fluctuating.
