A diode is an electronic component that allows current to pass in one direction only. The JANS1N4120-1 diode is an Axial Lead Zener Diode, and its structure and composition are similar to the general diode. Its use lies in its capability to conduct current in forward-bias, and the difference lies in its property of regulating the voltage in reverse-bias. In reverse bias, the diode acts like a voltage regulator, or a voltage clamp. That is, the diode clamps the voltage to a certain level wherever it is applied. This is why the JANS1N4120-1 is preferable for voltage control applications.

The working principle behind the JANS1N4120-1 diode is simple: it has a reverse breakdown voltage of 4.1V, which means its reverse-bias will conduct and clamp the voltage to 4.1 V, no matter the amplitude of the voltage that is applied. This will regulate the voltage in whatever application the diode is used in, preventing any damages or instability to components or systems. The diode will have a minimal voltage drop in forward bias, and its maximum forward current capacity is 100 mA.

JANS1N4120-1 diodes are highly reliable and thus can be used in a variety of applications mentioned above. With its wide variety of applications and high reliability, the JANS1N4120-1 diode is deemed as a must-have electronic component for engineers and hobbyists alike.
