Diodes are essentially two-terminal solid-state devices that can control the direction and flow of electric current in an electrical circuit. Zener diodes are a special type of diode that is designed to operate reverse-biased, allowing electric current to flow freely in one direction only and then collapsing the bias voltage when the applied voltage exceeds a certain threshold. The BZX585-B8V2,135 is an example of a single Zener diode.

The BZX585-B8V2,135 has an 8V zener voltage, meaning it will allow electric current to flow only until the forward voltage reaches 8V, at which point the diode begins to bypass electric current, thus creating a precise voltage reference. For this reason, Zener diodes are frequently used in voltage regulation applications where a precise and stable voltage is required. The BZX585-B8V2,135 also features a low 100µA max test current, making it well-suited for applications where power consumption is a critical concern.

As the name implies, the BZX585-B8V2,135 is a single diode, meaning it is comprised of a single PN junction made out of semiconductor materials. It has an average forward voltage of 1.14V and a reverse voltage of 8V. The diode also has a high maximum reverse voltage of 125V. All of these features make the BZX585-B8V2,135 well-suited for use in low voltage AC to DC converter applications, voltage regulation circuits, and various types of power supplies.

In addition to regulating the voltage in a given electrical circuit, the BZX585-B8V2,135 is also effective at limiting the current in the circuit. This is accomplished by utilizing a phenomenon known as “avalanche breakdown”. When the applied bias voltage exceeds the diode’s breakdown voltage, the diode breaks down and allows electric current to suddenly flow in the reverse direction through its PN junction, creating a limit on the amount of electric current that can flow through the circuit. This breakdown effect is what allows Zener diodes to be used as voltage references and current limiters, making them indispensable components in many electronic circuits.

In summary, the BZX585-B8V2,135 is a single Zener diode that is ideal for use in low voltage AC to DC converter applications, voltage regulation circuits, and various types of power supplies. With its 8V zener voltage, low current draw, and avalanche breakdown capabilities, the BZX585-B8V2,135 is an excellent choice for a variety of diode-based applications.
