At present, diodes are widely used in circuit design, and one of its most important usage is to provide over-voltage protection for circuits. JANTX1N4486US diodes belong to the single type of zener diodes, and the chip is produced by American Microsemi Company. This diode can provide 350 mW continuous forward current. In this article, we are going to discuss the JANTX1N4486US’s application field and working principle.

Application Field of JANTX1N4486US

The JANTX1N4486US is typically used in situations where a stabilized voltage output is required in circuits. Some of the principal applications are:

• Computer and printer power supply circuits
• Electrical transducers\' protection
• Regulation of low voltage power supplies
• Data transmission lines\' protection

Furthermore, the JANTX1N4486US is also often used in power settling, realization of constant voltage for relays, and general regulation of AC-DC Converters.

Working Principle of JANTX1N4486US

JANTX1N4486US is the part of the single type of zener diode family. This diode usually has three leads, an anode, a cathode, and a control electrode. When the voltage is lower than the designed value (say, for example, 4.3V) across the diode, the JANTX1N4486US will remain in its forward conduction state, and the current will flow from anode to cathode. When the voltage is higher than the designed voltage, the diode will enter the zener breakdown effect area, the resistance becomes close to zero, so that the current will go through the diode in the reverse direction.

At the same time, inside the diode, the electric charge carrier is accumulating due to the reverse current, forming an electric field. This electric field will defend the reverse biasing, and reduce the over-voltage significantly. This is how the JANTX1N4486US provides the over-voltage protection for circuits.

Conclusion

To recap, the JANTX1N4486US bdiac is one of the of the single type of Zener Diodes, which can provide over-voltage protection for circuits, as well as some other uses such as regulation of low voltage, power supply circuits and transducers’ protection.

In conclusion, diodes are essential components in electronics circuit, and the JANTX1N4486US bdiac is an example of one of those devices. By understanding its application fields and its working principle, it is possible to use the diode efficiently and effectively.
