JAN1N4466CUS

The JAN1N4466CUS is a single Zener diode designed for general purpose use, capable of handling up to 6 W of power. The JAN1N4466CUS is a 3-terminal device that provides a voltage reference or voltage regulation for other parts of the circuit. The device is constructed from gallium-arsenide alloy material, with a maximum reverse breakdown voltage of 6.2 V and a disc packaging.

The JAN1N4466CUS is designed for use in applications where a voltage reference or voltage regulation is needed. It is ideal for use in applications where noise or other factors can cause changes in power supply voltage, as it regulates the voltage so that it can stay within the required operating range. Examples of applications where the JAN1N4466CUS can be used include linear and switch-mode power supplies, can amplifiers, test and measurement equipment, pc boards, and telecommunications systems.

The JAN1N4466CUS is a three-terminal device, with a cathode and an anode electrodes on each terminal. The cathode is connected to the voltage source and the anode can be connected to the circuits ground. The current flow is controlled by the third terminal which is between the cathode and the anode, known as a control or gate terminal. This control terminal is used to vary the current flowing through the diode, allowing it to regulate the voltage of the source. The maximum forward current for the device is up to 6 W, and it has a maximum reverse breakdown voltage of 6.2 V.

The working principle of the JAN1N4466CUS is based on the fact that the current flow through a diode is proportional to the applied voltage. The device works by allowing a certain amount of current to flow from the cathode to the anode when the control terminal is closed. As the voltage across the device increases, the current will increase and the voltage will start to drop. This drop in voltage is known as the Zener voltage, and it is this voltage that is used as the reference voltage for the circuit.

The JAN1N4466CUS is designed for general purpose use and is suitable for use in a variety of different applications. It is capable of handling up to 6 W of power, which makes it ideal for powering a variety of different circuits. Thanks to its three-terminal construction, the voltage regulation can be easily adjusted, allowing it to be tailored to the particular needs of the application. It is a robust and reliable device, and it is suitable for use in a variety of demanding environments.
