Diodes - Zener - Single

The 1N967B_S00Z, to be classified as a single zener diode, is a semiconductor employed in a variety of electronic ciruits. The 1N967B_S00Z is used in applications involving voltage regulation, voltage limiting, and peak voltage clamping, all of which depend on the diode’s ability to function as a two-way transportation for electrons.

Application Field

The application field of the 1N967B_S00Z differs depending on the circuit structure and the voltage put in. Generally, the 1N967B_S00Z can be used as a voltage regulator, a voltage limiter, a peak voltage clamp, a transient voltage suppressor, or a forward-biased rectifier.

Due to its properties of mastering a specific output voltage and regulating it within a certain tolerant level, the 1N967B_S00Z is widely used in voltage control and voltage stabilization. For example, the 1N967B_S00Z can be implemented into a DC power supply for increasing the power output efficiency and replacing the former-technology silicon controlled rectifier. In the fields of electrical engineering, military, and automotive manufacture, it is often used to eliminate noise generated by the rectification of motor fluctuations. In addition, it can be used in low voltage spikes and static electrical elimination, thus enhancing low power DC circuits’ reliability.

Working Principle

To understand the working principle of 1N967B_S00Z, one needs to have basic knowledge of diode’s electron conductivity. In general, the working principle of the 1N967B_S00Z is similar to other semiconductors, but different in its bi-directional electron transportation design.

The 1N967B_S00Z has two terminals, an anode and a cathode, encased in a semiconductor diode. When the diode is forward-biased, electrons move from the cathode to the anode when a voltage is applied, which produces a current flow. What makes this diode special, is the ability to limit the voltage from either direction to allow the current to flow. When the voltage is low, the diode does not conduct; when the voltage becomes higher than the reverse Breakdown Voltage (BV) specified for the diode, the diode will turn on and allow electrons to travel in both direction depending on the applied voltage. Throughout this process, the diode will maintain a constant BV on the output side.

The breakdown mechanism of the 1N967B_S00Z is similar to the avalanche effect observed in other rectifiers. When the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage, electrons collide with the atoms shooting the electrons off their atomic orbits and creating electron-hole pairs. These new electron-hole pairs further collide with other atoms and are multiplied, creating a large positive feedback cycle that ensures the entire diode will be in the forward-biased state, allowing for a large increase in current. This process causes the voltage on the output side of the diode to remain constant regardless of the voltage applied on the input side.

The 1N967B_S00Z was designed to operate at relatively low currents, making it an ideal choice for applications where stability and the control of the output voltage is the key. With its ability to prevent large current spikes from damaging downstream components, the 1N967B_S00Z ensures tight voltage regulation and creates a stable electric environment for power supplies.
