With its high reliability and quality, it can be widely used in fields, such as landing systems and medical equipment, where precision and stability are emphasized.

DZ2416000L Working Principle

The DZ2416000L has a voltage rating of up to 16V and a power rating of 200mW, which makes it suitable for many applications. Its working principle is quite simple and it can be explained as follows:

When the applied voltage is lower than the Zener voltage (VZ), the diode acts as a normal semiconductor diode, allowing current flow only in one direction, that is, from anode to cathode. When the voltage rises above the Zener voltage, current starts to flow in the reverse direction and disturbs the regular flow of current, thus regulating the voltage and controlling the charge flow in a circuit. This action of the diode is why it is often used as a voltage regulator.

The Zener breakdown voltage is determined by the temperature of the diode and the temperature coefficient is usually between 5mV/°C and 8mV/°C. The temperature coefficient is important in various applications, as the working level of the diode will be affected by changes in the ambient temperature.
