Diodes, also referred to as solid-state devices, are two-terminal passive components used to control the flow of electrical current. As such, they are part of a broad category of electronic components known as discrete semiconductors. Diodes are classified into various categories according to their functionality, and one such type is the Zener diode. The 1PGSMA4761HM2G is a single Zener diode designed for general purpose use and is manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor.

The 1PGSMA4761HM2G is used in a variety of applications such as voltage regulation, overload protection, and interference suppression. This diode has a rated forward current of 100mA and a breakdown voltage ranging from 4.7V to 61V. Additionally, it boasts a wide operating temperature range of -55°C to+ 175°C.

The working principle of a Zener diode is based on the Zener effect, in which a large reverse voltage is applied to a semiconductor material such that it loses its resistance, allowing current to flow in the reverse direction. This is called a breakdown voltage, beyond which current will flow regardless of voltage polarity.

When plugged into a circuit, the 1PGSMA4761HM2G acts as a voltage regulator. This diode will allow current to flow in either direction until the breakdown voltage is reached, at which point the current will be forced to flow in the reverse direction. This ensures that the voltage output of the circuit is held steady regardless of any fluctuations in the input voltage.

The 1PGSMA4761HM2G is also used in circuits where it is exposed to large surges or transients which could otherwise damage sensitive electronics. In these cases, the diode acts as a surge protector, allowing the current beyond the Zener voltage to be dissipated, while at the same time the remaining current is redirected away from the sensitive components.

The Vishay Semiconductor 1PGSMA4761HM2G single Zener diode is a versatile and cost-effective device with a wide range of applications. It is able to provide reliable voltage regulation as well as surge and overvoltage protection. With its high current rating and wide operating temperature range, this diode is highly suited for many applications.
