Working Principle of GDZ24B-HG3-08

The Zener diode has a unique behavior which makes it uniquely suited for overvoltage protection. In a normal diode, when the diode is reverse biased, a very small reverse current flows. When the voltage applied to the diode reaches the voltage at which the diode begins to conduct, the reverse current increases rapidly. On the other hand, when a Zener diode is reverse biased, it does not conduct until the voltage applied reaches a specific voltage, called the Zener voltage.

When the Zener voltage is reached, a small amount of current flows in the reverse direction, called Zener current. This Zener current is very small and typically much less than the normal current. However, if the voltage increases beyond the Zener voltage, the current increases exponentially. This special behavior of the Zener diode makes it ideal for protecting circuits from overvoltage conditions.
