NZX9V1D,133 Diodes - Zener - Single

NZX9V1D,133 is a Zener diode component, consisting of a single PN junction formed out of a semiconductor material and encased in a package to completely isolate the component from its environment. The component is used to control the voltage level by restricting flow of current in one direction. The component has a voltage breakdown rating of 9.1V and an operating current of 1mA.

Application Field

NZX9V1D,133 components can be used in several places where voltage regulation is required. In parallel circuits, the component can be used to limit the maximum voltage and current passing through the circuit. Similarly, in series circuit voltage regulation can be performed using the component. The component is also useful in audio systems, radio transmitters and receivers, and other applications where noise causes major problems.

Working Principle

The working principle behind the NZX9V1D,133 component can be explained using a simple PN Junction. The PN Junction consists of two parts: P region and N region. The P region is made out of anodized material, while the N region is made out of semi-conductive material, and is formed out of a junction between two such regions. This junction works in such a way that electrons and holes (also known as carriers) pass through it in a one-way direction.

When a voltage is applied to the PN junction, the electrons and holes move in the opposite directions. When the applied voltage exceeds a certain threshold, the electrons and holes break down the junction, releasing a large amount of energy and causing a breakdown voltage. This voltage is known as the Zener voltage, and is the working principle of the NZX9V1D,133 component.

In the case of the NZX9V1D,133 component, the Zener voltage is 9.1V, which causes the electrons and holes to start flowing in the opposite directions and passing through the side of the junction that has a lower resistance. This allows for the voltage level to be limited to the Zener voltage and hence, the component is able to act as a voltage regulator.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the NZX9V1D,133 is a single PN junction component used for voltage regulation. The component has an operating voltage of 9.1V and an operating current of 1mA, and can be used in several applications, ranging from parallel and series circuits to audio systems, radio transmitters and receivers. The working principle behind the component is the breakdown of the PN junction, which results in the electrons and holes breaking down and releasing a large amount of energy.
