Diodes - Zener - Single

JANTX1N4982US.TR is a single Zener diode with a maximum power dissipation rate of 500mW (1/2 watt). It is designed for general purpose applications where a medium-current low-voltage Zener diode is needed. It can be used in a variety of applications, including automotive, telecommunications, and medical systems.

Application Field

JANTX1N4982US.TR is used as a voltage-controlled rectifier diode in a wide range of low-power, low-voltage applications. It can be used to ensure a constant, stable voltage flow. It is used to provide over-voltage protection in automotive applications, such as preventing the voltage at certain components from exceeding a set level. It can also be used to regulate the output voltage and current of electronic devices.

Working Principle

The Zener diode is a type of diode that allows current to flow in the forward direction but not in the reverse direction. It also regulates the voltage across its terminals to a specific, predetermined voltage. The JANTX1N4982US.TR has a reverse voltage of 6.2V, which means that the voltage across its terminals will remain at 6.2V, regardless of the voltage at the diode’s anode. It is able to do this by allowing a large amount of current to flow in the forward direction when the voltage across its terminals is higher than its predetermined voltage. This current is then dissipated in the form of heat or used to perform another task.

The JANTX1N4982US.TR is capable of regulating both AC and DC voltages. In an AC application, it functions as a voltage-controlled rectifier diode as it is able to regulate the waveform of the AC signal to a constant value. In a DC application, it serves as a voltage regulator by ensuring a constant voltage level.

The JANTX1N4982US.TR has a maximum power dissipation rate of 500mW (1/2 watt). This means that it can be used in applications with a maximum current over its maximum voltage rating of 6.2V of 80.66mArms. It is capable of operating from -65°C to + 175°C and has a maximum junction temperature of + 200°C. The diode has a low-impedance construction and its reverse leakage current is typically less than 10uA.

Overall, the JANTX1N4982US.TR is an ideal choice for applications where a low-voltage, medium-current Zener diode is needed. It can be used to ensure a constant, stable voltage flow and to regulate the output voltage and current of electronic devices. It has a wide operating temperature range and a low-impedance construction.
