1N5363AE3/TR13

Diodes - Zener - Single

A Zener diode, is a type of diode, which allows current to flow in the forward direction like any conventional diode, but also in the reverse direction if the voltage is large enough. This distinguishes it from a normal diode, which will only pass current in one direction. The primary purpose of the 1N5363AE3/TR13 Zener diode is voltage regulation. A Zener diode is made with a heavily doped p-n junction that permits electrons to tunnel through the junction when the voltage is above the breakdown voltage, known as the Zener voltage.

The working mechanism of the 1N5363AE3/TR13 Zener diode is relatively straight forward — current flows from the anode to the cathode during forward bias, and from cathode to anode if the voltage becomes positively higher than the Zener breakdown voltage. In other words, it can be modeled as an ideal diode that prevents current from flowing from cathode to anode when voltage is below the breakdown voltage, but allows current to flow in reverse direction when the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage.

The 1N5363AE3/TR13 Zener diode provides effective voltage regulation across a wide range of environments and applications. It is typically used in switching power supplies, AC/DC converters and other devices where voltage stabilization is required. In addition, it can be used in applications such as voltage multiplication, voltage reference, and reverse voltage protection.

The 1N5363AE3/TR13 Zener diode features a wide variety of features to ensure reliable performance, such as low leakage, high thermal stability, high reverse breakdown voltage and wide operating temperature range. It also has an improved reverse voltage breakdown ratio to ensure a more reliable operation and more consistent performance.

Due to its wide array of features and its effectiveness in voltage regulation, the 1N5363AE3/TR13 Zener diode is a reliable, cost-effective solution for a variety of applications requiring reliable voltage regulation.
