1N5368BRLG application field and working principle

1N5368BRLG is an axial p-n junction zener diode designed to deliver high power in small packages. It was designed with an optimized n-region to achieve maximum power and provide reliable protection, due to its low reverse leakage current and high dynamic resistance.

The 1N5368BRLG has a wide range of applications, from power supply regulation and voltage reference to general automation and logic circuit protection. It can be used as a circuit breaker and as a safety device to protect against accidental overvoltage and reverse polarity. It is especially suitable for use in power supplies with large dynamic variations and/or frequent operation.

The typical working principle of 1N5368BRLG is quite simple. When a small forward voltage is applied to the diode, a small current is allowed to flow through it. When a larger reverse voltage is applied, the diode conducts a larger current, limiting its reverse voltage to the zener voltage rating. This process is known as the zener breakdown voltage. The zener voltage is determined by the doping used in the diode, as a dopant with a higher doping level will result in a higher zener voltage.

In addition to its direct application in high power circuits, the 1N5368BRLG can also be used to provide additional isolation in high current applications. It can be used to limit the current in the diode to the safe level, provided the power is limited by an external component. This can help protect circuitry from accidental overvoltage and reduce EMI due to current surges.

The 1N5368BRLG is a versatile and highly reliable device, with a wide range of applications across many industries. Its excellent power handling capabilities make it an ideal choice for high-power applications, as it can deliver consistent performance over a wide range of temperatures and voltages. Additionally, its low reverse leakage current ensures that it produces minimal interference in sensitive circuits, providing reliable protection against overvoltage.
