Working Principle of PZU2.7BL, 315

The basic working principle of Zener Diodes is simple. When forward biased, the voltage across the diode increases until it reaches the Zener Voltage, at which point the diode is reverse biased and clamps the voltage across it. It works like normal rectifying diodes with the addition of the Zener Voltage feature. When the Zener Voltage is reached, the current is diverted from the diode, allowing the voltage to stay regulated over a wide range of input voltage. Thus, a regulated voltage is achieved with the use of these low voltage Zener diodes.
