1SMB5941HR5G

Diodes - Zener - Single

The 1SMB5941HR5G is a single Zener diode. It has a low voltage and low current Zener voltage regulator. It is both a low cost and a long life solution in a variety of applications. It has a maximum Zener voltage of 7.3 V and a suggested working voltage range of 6.7V to 7.3V. Its maximum working current is 40 mA and its maximum power dissipation is 600 mW with a maximum junction temperature of 175°C.

Applications

The 1SMB5941HR5G is mainly used as voltage stabilizers, voltage reference sources and as surge protectors. It is used in a wide range of applications including automotive, telecom, industrial, medical and consumer electronics. It is also used as a component in linear voltage regulators, audio equipment and power supplies. The 1SMB5941HR5G is well suited for medium power applications with good reliability. However, it does not provide the same level of protection as a larger, higher-current Zener diode.

Working principle

The 1SMB5941HR5G diode works on the Zener breakdown principle. It consists of an anode and a cathode each connected to an external circuit. The cathode is connected to the power source and the anode is connected to the device being regulated. When the voltage supply exceeds the Zener breakdown voltage, a large amount of current flows from the power source to the cathode. This current is then reduced as it travels through the diode to the anode and exits through the external circuit. The diode acts as a voltage regulator by allowing current to pass through only when it exceeds the Zener breakdown voltage.

The 1SMB5941HR5G is a versatile and cost-effective voltage regulator. It is perfect for a wide range of medium power applications that require reliable regulation. Its Zener breakdown principle ensures accurate and stable voltage regulation regardless of the voltage supply. It is an ideal choice for automotive, telecom, industrial, consumer electronics and medical applications.
