CMZ5934B BK

• CMZ5934B BK: Diodes - Zener - Single

The CMZ5934B BK is a single Zener diode from Central Semiconductor. This device has an absolute maximum rating of 20V, with a power rating of 350mW and an operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C. It is specifically designed for linear applications with a breakdown voltage of 6V.

The CMZ5934B BK is a versatile and reliable device, widely used in voltage regulation, voltage stabilization and other fields. Its advantage lies in its zener impedance, which can effectively protect the circuit and components from being damaged due to overvoltage. In addition, its low-temperature coefficient makes it ideal for high-precision applications.

The working principle of CMZ5934B BK involves the presence of a built-in voltage at the diode junction. During the forward bias through the diode, electrons from the n-side and holes from the p-side of the junction intermix. This mixing of electrons and holes induces a built-in electric field, which opposes the forward electric field and generates a countervoltage. Therefore, when the voltage applied on the diode increases, the electric field increases, which in turn increases the countervoltage and the breakdown voltage.

Once the diode reaches the breakdown voltage, it will break down and the electric current will form a large amount of current. This is known as a “zener breakdown” and this breakdown is used to “clamp” the voltage level at the breakdown voltage of the diode, allowing the voltage to remain stable. The CMZ5934B BK can effectively regulate the peak current, stabilize the output voltage, reduce noise, and protect the power supply circuit.

The CMZ5934B BK has high stability and is useful in a variety of industrial and consumer applications, such as voltage regulation, voltage stabilization, transient voltage suppression, and other fields. It is an ideal choice for high-precision circuit designs. Additionally, it is lead free for RoHS compliance, making it environmentally friendly.
