JANTX1N4566A-1

A Zener diode, also known as a voltage-regulated diode, allows current to flow in either direction, similar to a regular diode, but also permits the reverse current to continue in the opposite direction even when it exceeds the regular diode’s breakover voltage. The JANTX1N4566A-1 is a single Zener diode featuring a low current of 2.5 mA and a low reverse leakage current of 10 nA. It has a maximum Zener voltage of 6.2 V and a maximum breakdown voltage of 6.5 V.

The JANTX1N4566A-1 is available in lead-free, surface-mount packages and is used in low-voltage applications. It is designed to provide a stable regulated voltage for higher current, lower resistance, and better reliability. Typical applications include voltage regulation and transient protection, such as suppressing high voltage spikes generated by electrical and electronic circuits.

The JANTX1N4566A-1 functions by connecting it to a voltage supply of 6V or higher, allowing current to flow through the device. The current raises the voltage of the Zener diode to the desired level, where it will remain until the current declines. As the current drops, the Zener diode quickly drops back to its normal operating level.

The JANTX1N4566A-1 is also often used for noise cancellation and suppression, in order to isolate different parts of a circuit from one another. Its uses include amplifier output stages, DC/DC converters, and power supplies.

A key feature of the JANTX1N4566A-1 is its low reverse bias leakage current - 10 nA maximum - which means it will not suffer from excessive drain when used as a reverse-bias clamp. This feature is beneficial when used with analog circuits such as audio amplifiers and radio receivers, as it will help to maintain better signal-to-noise ratio.

In summary, the JANTX1N4566A-1 is an efficient and reliable Zener diode designed to provide stable regulated voltages. It is used for a variety of low-voltage applications, including voltage and transient protection, noise suppression, amplifier output stages, DC/DC converters, and power supplies. It is suitable for a wide range of products in consumer electronics and automotive sectors.
