JANTX1N5518B-1

Diodes - Zener - Single

The JANTX1N5518B-1 is a small, 3-terminal Zener diode with a low and stable knee voltage. The diode is designed as a low-priced, high-reliability unit and is suitable for a variety of applications such as voltage regulation, current limiting, protection, and reverse breakdown protection.

The major advantage of the JANTX1N5518B-1 is its assembly and high performance capabilities. The body of the device is made of molded glass and has an overall profile of 0.45mm x 0.45mm. This makes it highly reliable in terms of performance and assembly. The diode is easily soldered onto the printed circuit boards and provides reliable connection.

One of the major features of the JANTX1N5518B-1 is its low-voltage awareness and stability. Its low Vz, coupled with its high reproducibility, makes it suitable for high accuracy voltage measurements. The device can withstand multiple overvoltage transients, making it ideal for protection applications. The diode is also highly reliable in terms of electrical characteristics, with a low leakage current for both voltage bias and reverse operation.

The JANTX1N5518B-1 is mainly used in applications such as voltage regulation, current limiting, protection, and reverse breakdown protection. As a voltage regulator, the device limits the voltage within a given range, ensuring uninterrupted operation. It also protects against overvoltage surges, providing stability and reliability to the system. As a current limiter, the device helps maintain current levels below a predetermined threshold, preventing damages caused by circuit overloads.

The working principle of the JANTX1N5518B-1 is based on the zener breakdown phenomenon. The zener breakdown is a reverse-biased breakdown mode due to the internal electrostatic stress caused by the electric field. This phenomenon allows the current conduction in the reverse direction, allowing the diode to be used in voltage regulation, current limiting, and other applications.

The JANTX1N5518B-1 is an ideal diode for applications requiring low and stable knee voltages, as well as high reliability. Its low Vz, high reproducibility, and low leakage current make it suitable for voltage regulation, current limiting, protection, and other applications.
