JANTXV1N6313US

JANTXV1N6313US is a type of single zener diode.

Zener diodes are made with heavily doped semiconductor material to allow the device to conduct in reverse direction when an applied voltage is reached. Once this “zener voltage” is reached, a very small increase in reverse bias voltage will cause a much larger increase in current, allowing the diode to function as a shunt regulator. As a result, zener diodes are used in electronics circuits to provide a guaranteed voltage.

JANTXV1N6313US has a maximum power dissipation of 250 milliwatts, and it is designed for use as a free-wheeling diode, voltage reference, and clipper.

Generally speaking, JANTXV1N6313US are ideal for use in circuits where a reliable and consistent regulated voltage is required. It can be used in voltage stabilization, voltage regulation circuits and voltage clipper circuits, as well as in voltage multiplier and voltage doubler circuits.

The working principle of JANTXV1N6313US is based on the fact that when a small amount of reverse bias voltage is applied, a very small increase in current will cause a much larger increase in voltage.

When the diode is exposed to a reverse voltage across the anode and cathode, electrons from the cathode move towards the anode and holes from the anode move towards the cathode. The electrons and holes recombine creating electron-hole pairs that, in turn, are knocked off by the applied reverse bias voltage. Due to this, a very small amount of current is able to cause a proportional increase in voltage across the diode.

Thomson JANTXV1N6313US is an ideal diode for applications requiring a consistent and reliable voltage reference. Its reverse voltage of 6.3V, with a tolerance of 5%, and its current rating of 350mA make this diode perfectly suited for many different applications.
