JANTX1N985C-1

The JANTX1N985C-1 is a single Zener diode component that is used for a variety of purposes. It is typically seen in automotive, consumer and engineering applications, and is manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It is generally used for voltage-clamping, this means that it provides a low voltage diode with a specific voltage range.

The device specifications are as follows: 2% tolerance, 2.8V 9.1V Zener voltage, 2.7V IF = 5mA breakover diode forward voltage, 32mA maximum reverse current, silicon planar technology, low reverse leakage, MIL-STD-19500-testing, peripheral component interconnect (PCI) compliant, and RoHS lead-free.

The JANTX1N985C-1 has several applications including: providing isolated bridge-sense protection, providing an effective current limiter, supplying active filter stages, filtering against high-energy transient surge voltages, and zener diode clamps (also called transient protection circuits).

The JANTX1N985C-1 is used in a variety of circuits. It can act as a resistor in a voltage divider, allowing for the current to be switched on/off. It can also be used as a simple method to add current limiting in circuits. It is also often used as a protective device in many circuits, as its minimum breakdown voltage allows it to protect against voltage surges. It can also be used to provide peak-load protection in certain type of circuits, such as motor soft-start circuits.

The working principle of a Zener diode is similar to that of a regular diode, except that when forward biased, it conducts current as normal, but when reverse biased, the voltage across the diode will not exceed the Zener voltage.

The JANTX1N985C-1 is designed to operate with reverse bias, meaning that it operates in the reverse-biasing direction. When the reverse voltage on the diode exceeds the threshold voltage, current will begin to flow in the reverse direction. The junction, in this case the JANTX1N985C-1, will then break down and produce a low voltage breakdown, allowing for a low voltage to be obtained for a specific application.

The JANTX1N985C-1 is an ideal choice for automotive, consumer and engineering applications as it is highly reliable and can withstand many environments. Furthermore, the low voltage diode has a small size, making it optimal for small scale applications and systems. Additionally, its performance is consistent, making it suitable for circuits where small errors can be tolerated.

In conclusion, the JANTX1N985C-1 is a single Zener diode component that is used for many applications. It is often used to provide a low voltage as it has a low voltage breakdown and high voltage resistance. Furthermore, it provides protection against voltage surges and can be used as a current limiter in certain circuits. All of these benefits make the JANTX1N985C-1 an ideal choice for automotive, engineering, and consumer applications.
