1N5987A is a type of single zener diode, which is mainly used in applications that require stable, precision current regulation and consistent voltage regulation.

The single zener diode is composed of two layers of semiconductors, with one end being the P-type layer, and the other end being the N-type layer, which are connected to PC pins. In this diode, the P-type layer is lightly doped, and the N-type layer is heavily doped. This will create an area between the two layers referred to as the depletion region.

When there is voltage applied, the depletion region will create a gradual turn-on of the diode. As the voltage continues increasing, the depletion region will start to expand, leading to a point at which the diode turns on, referred to as the knee of the diode. As the voltage continues to pass beyond the knee, the current will remain similar, to a point that current becomes independent of voltage.

This feature will make 1N5987A a perfect choice for applications that require regulation of both current and voltage. In these applications, the breakdown voltage will usually be set at a specific point, with damages associated with either too low or too high. In this case, the single zener diode will provide reliable protection, by ensuring a consistent breakdown voltage and current.

1N5987A also has a wide range of applications in audio, video and power circuits. This includes audio protection, video protection, as well as over-voltage protection for receivers, transistor amplifiers and television equipment. As a single zener diode it is also used to prevent fluctuations in current and voltage, making it easy to regulate the current or voltage and protect the circuits.

1N5987A also excels in protection against electrolytic action, which occurs when one circuit’s voltage is higher than the other, leading to an undesirable current flow from one circuit to another. Single zenor diodes will act to prevent this flow, so that the two circuits remain separate and the electrolytic reaction does not occur.

This single zener diode has a very small junction capacitance and fast switching speeds, making it suitable for even higher frequency applications. It is also very reliable and has a longer life, due to its low temperature coefficient and temperature range.

In conclusion, the 1N5987A is a type of single zener diode that can be used in a wide range of applications. It has a stable, precision current regulation and a consistent voltage regulation, making it ideal for audio, video and power circuits, as well as preventing electrolytic reactions. It has a very small junction capacitance and fast switching speeds, making it suitable for higher frequencies, as well as a long life, due to its low temperature coefficient and temperature range.
