Working Principle

The BZX384C18-E3-08 Zener diode acts like a diode when it is forward-biased. It is a two-terminal device with an anode and a cathode. When the current passes through the anode, it is conducted through the device, hence allowing electricity to flow.When the device is reverse-biased, it acts as a voltage regulator by allowing a specific amount of current to flow freely in the opposite direction. The voltage at which the diode begins to conduct is called the Zener voltage. The Zener voltage of the BZX384C18-E3-08 diode is 18V, which makes the device suitable for a wide range of operating conditions.

Conclusion

The BZX384C18-E3-08 Zener diode is a versatile and reliable device that is used in a variety of applications for voltage regulation. It is a two-terminal device with an anode and a cathode, and it acts as a diode when forward-biased and as a voltage regulator when reverse-biased. The Zener voltage of the diode is 18V, making it suitable for applications requiring steady voltage over a wide range of operating conditions.
