The 1N5335B has been gaining great levels of popularity among circuits, due to its ability to conduct both Zener and rectifier functions. This diode is also known to be highly durable, as it can withstand a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of around 200V. The 1N5335B can be used in a variety of applications, a few of which will be discussed in this article, along with its operating principles.

Application of the 1N5335B

This diode can be found in a large number of circuit applications. Below are just a few of the main areas in which the 1N5335B can be used:

• It is a common component in clamping circuits, due to its capability to effectively limit excessive voltages that can often be caused by transient surges.
• It can also be used in voltage regulator circuits, as it has the ability to constant voltage outputs of around 5.1V.
• The 1N5335B is also very useful in providing protection for sensitive electronic devices, as it can absorb excessive voltages and then dissipate them quickly.
• It is also used in digital circuits, since it can reliably prevent the flow of current in the reverse direction.

Working Principle of the 1N5335B

This diode works on a simple principle – it is designed to conduct electric current in only one direction. It also has the ability to control the amount of current which passes through it, by using its N-type semiconductor material. When the voltage applied to the diode is below the ‘breakdown voltage’ threshold, the electrons in the material will easily flow in the forward direction. However, when the applied voltage exceeds the ‘breakdown voltage’, the electrons will not be able to pass easily through the material, forcing the current to flow in the reverse direction.

The 1N5335B also features a Zener diode, which allows it to operate as both a standard rectifier and a voltage regulator. The Zener diode is designed to begin conducting current once the applied voltage goes above a predetermined value, set during manufacture. This allows the diode to absorb and dissipate high voltages, ensuring that only a safe and constant amount of voltage flows to the next component in the circuit.
