Working Principle of CMZ5941B BK Single Zener Diode

A single Zener diode is designed with a built-in avalanche voltage regulator which provides very linear and predictable voltage regulation at constant breakdown voltage. When operating, a reverse bias is applied to the diode in order to activate the Zener effect.

When the reverse bias voltage is greater than or equal to the Threshold Voltage characteristic of the diode, electrons are swept away from the anode (N-type) to the cathode (P-type). This reduces the potential barrier, allowing more electrons to cross the junction creating an avalanche effect. This avalanche effect causes the diode to turn on and regulate a constant voltage.

CMZ5941B BK single Zener diodes feature a maximum operating voltage of 5.9V, nominal Zener Current of 5mA, maximum Zener current of 200mA and a Maximum Power Dissipation of 350mW. In addition, they are RoHS compliant and are ISO9001 certified.

In conclusion, CMZ5941B BK single Zener diodes are designed to regulate voltage and provide protection against transients, EOS and overloads. With a wide range of applications, they offer linear and predictable voltage regulation and are RoHS compliant and ISO9001 certified.
