It’s made of the semiconductor material silicon and has a power dissipation of 500mW.

Application Field

The CMPZ5235B BK is mainly used in DC circuit applications such as voltage regulation, voltage clipping, reverse voltage protection, polarity protection, etc. It’s used in applications such as avionics, space exploration, automotive, industrial, military devices which require a high level of protection for electronic components.

Working Principle

The Zener diode is a two-terminal device, made from a specific semiconductor material. The diode is constructed such that there is a voltage across the diode when it starts to conduct. This voltage is called the “breakdown voltage”. As the current flowing through the diode increases, it reaches a value known as the “forward break-over current” which is less than the maximum allowed current for the diode.

When a reverse voltage is applied to the Zener diode, the Zener breakdown voltage is reached and the current starts to flow through the diode. This diode is able to sustain high voltage and current, so it is commonly used in DC circuits.

The CMPZ5235B BK has a breakdown voltage of 500V which is higher than the usual Zener diodes. This is to provide better protection for the circuit and to make sure that the device is capable of handling higher currents.
