JANTX1N5536DUR-1

Diodes - Zener - Single

The JANTX1N5536DUR-1 is a single Zener diode mostly used in electronic circuits to maintain a specific voltage level by allowing currents to flow in one direction, thus creating a voltage drop across the diode. This diode is found in a variety of applications that rely on controlling and regulating the flow of electricity.

The JANTX1N5536DUR-1 has maximum operating temperature of 150°C, a maximum power dissipation of 1.1 watts and typical power dissipation of 400mW in order to work correctly. It has voltage ratings of 5.6V, forward voltage of 1.2V, zener headroom voltage of 2.2V, reverse leakage current of 5µA, and surge forward current of 1.5A (max).

The JANTX1N5536DUR-1 is designed with a common anode-cathode connection in which it can operate when there is an current flowing between two specific nodes. This diode works according to the Zener effect in which the current is divided into two parts, finding two paths. One path is through the diode, while the other follows the normal current in the circuit. The latter has no effect on the voltage, while the former converts part of the electrical energy into heat.

The JANTX1N5536DUR-1 is used in applications such as WiFi routers, variable voltage battery regulators and voltage divider circuits. It is used in the routers in order to protect the circuits from high voltage surges or spikes and powering the wireless transmission card for wireless data transmissions. The variable voltage battery regulator uses the Zener diode to regulate the voltage to provide a constant voltage to the load, while the voltage divider circuit uses it to provide a reference voltage for analog circuits.

The JANTX1N5536DUR-1 is a single Zener diode designed to provide a controlled voltage across its anode-cathode terminals. It operates using the Zener effect by dividing the current into two parts, one goes through the diode, while the other follows the normal current path of the circuit. This diode is used in a variety of applications including WiFi routers, variable voltage battery regulators, and voltage divider circuits.
