Working Principle

JAN1N3826A-1 operates on a cutting-edge principle commonly referred to as “Zener breakdown” and works according to the principle of a reverse-biased p-n junction. This means that the semiconductor material in the Zener diode is arranged so that current flows from the anode side of the diode to the cathode side. As a result, a voltage drop appears between the two sides and this voltage drop gets larger as the current increases. When the current increases to a certain point, the Zener breakdown will occur and the Zener diode will conduct a high level of current. This voltage drop between the anode and cathode sides is used to regulate the output of the power supply.

In Zener breakdown mode, the Zener diode is able to limit the voltage applied to a certain part of the circuit to a safe level and keep it stable. This is accomplished by the diode absorbing the excess energy, regulating the output and protecting the components in the circuit from being damaged by an excessive voltage. Additionally, the diode will also convert an AC voltage into a DC voltage.

Conclusion

JAN1N3826A-1 is a Zener diode and part of the single diode range. It is used for many different applications, from linear regulators and relay drivers to AC-DC rectifiers and surge suppressors. It operates on the principle of a reverse-biased p-n junction, utilizing Zener breakdown to regulate voltage and convert an AC voltage into a DC voltage.
