JAN1N5519C-1

Diodes – Zener – Single

The JAN1N5519C-1 is a Zenner diode, which offers optimal protection from voltage transients due to its low reverse leakage and small form factor. Zenner diodes offer voltage regulation capabilities as well, allowing them to be used to control overvoltage. This makes it ideal for applications such as motor control and digital circuits where intermittent, excessive or destructive overvoltages may be present.

Application Field

The JAN1N5519C-1 can be used in a variety of applications. It is specifically designed to work in systems like motor control, surge protection, voltage regulation, and DC/DC conversion. Since the diode is small and has a high reverse breakdown voltage, it can be used in tight spaces. Additionally, it can also be used as a temperature sensor and current limiting device.

Working Principle

The JAN1N5519C-1 works by preventing transients or switching of loads that are connected to the supply voltage. When the voltage exceeds the zener voltage, the zener diode ‘clamps’ the voltage at a defined level. This process is referred to as zener breakdown. During the zener breakdown process, the diode acts as a voltage regulator by allowing current to flow through it in one direction and then blocking it from going in the opposite direction. This creates a reversible, or ‘clamper’, circuit with the power supply. The zener diode is able to regulate and protect the power supply from any overvoltage events at all times.

Conclusion

Zenner diodes are a useful tool in the field of electronics, as they are able to protect systems from voltage transients while providing voltage regulation. The JAN1N5519C-1 Zenner diode is designed to work in tight spaces and has a low reverse leakage current. It is suitable for applications such as motor control, surge protection, temperature sensors, current limiting and DC/DC conversion.
