BZX84-C9V1,235

A diode is a simple two-terminal electronic device, which permits current flow in one direction only – from anode to cathode. Diodes can be used for a variety of applications such as rectification, temperature measurement and voltage regulation. Zener diodes are one type of diode in particular, which are specially designed to provide a constant voltage drop when subjected to an alternating current (AC) or an incoming voltage higher than the Zener voltage. The BZX84-C9V1,235 diode is a single Zener diode designed specifically to provide a constant voltage drop when subjected to an AC or incoming voltage.

The BZX84-C9V1,235 diode has a breakdown voltage of 1.235V and a power dissipation of 500mW. It is housed in a SOD-123 package, making it very small and lightweight, and making it ideally suited for applications where space is at a premium. The BZX84-C9V1,235 diode has become increasingly popular for use in electronic equipment, such as monitors, power supplies and audio applications, due to its low price and dependability.

The BZX84-C9V1,235 diode is used primarily for voltage regulation, allowing a constant voltage to be provided to electronic components that do not require more than the stated voltage. By providing a constant voltage, the diode prevents voltagae variations of the power supply from impacting the performance of said component, which could lead to errors or malfunctioning. The diode can also be used to protect components from high voltages, as the diode will begin conducting when a predetermined voltage level is exceeded. The diode helps to prevent any further damage to the components.

The BZX84-C9V1,235 diode works on the principle of voltage breakdown. When a voltage higher than 1.235V is applied to the diode, the electric field strength within its area of influence increases to a point where the diode starts to conduct. Current will travel through the diode in proportion to its applied voltage, with a fixed voltage drop of 1.235V across it. Once the voltages drops below 1.235V again, the diode will automatically stop conducting.

The BZX84-C9V1,235 diode has been adopted for use in many electronic applications due to its low cost, reliable performance, and space-saving form factor. Its ability to provide a steady voltage when subjected to high voltages, as well as protect components from too high of a voltage, makes it the ideal choice for many applications where voltage regulation is required.
