Diodes - Zener - Single: 1PGSMB5930 R5G application field and working principle

The 1PGSMB5930 R5G is a Zener diode designed for single-phase or three-phase applications. It is suitable for applications in which continuous reverse voltage is encountered, as is often seen in power line communication systems.

Structure Characteristics

The 1PGSMB5930 R5G is constructed with two rectifier junctions, some form of a substrate, and an active layer that provides the electrical conduction in the forward bias direction. The rectifier junctions are connected in parallel, and a single typical electrical symbol represents the junction. The active layer of the 1PGSMB5930 R5G consists of an anode, a cathode, and a Zener diode junction.

Working Principle

The 1PGSMB5930 R5G works on the principle of a Zener diode. It relies on electron flow in the forward direction when the diode is biased. When a reverse bias voltage is applied to the diode, the electrons that make up the majority carriers of the conductive layer are repelled. This causes a separation of the majority and minority charge carriers, generating an electric field. This electric field causes a channel in the diode that prevents reverse current flow.
