SMAJ4461E3/TR13

Diodes - Zener - Single: SMAJ4461E3/TR13 application field and working principle

A Zener diode is an electronics component capable of blowing a relatively stable and consistent amount of current, regardless of the amount of current being sent through the component. The SMAJ4461E3/TR13 type is a single diode, axial-lgreen in design.

The SMAJ4461E3/TR13\'s main use is for voltage regulation. It does this by controlling the voltage from, for example, the power output of a power supply or a battery. As the power increases, the component works to maintain a consistent voltage. This component is long-lasting and suitable for use in situations that involve frequent power fluctuations.

The component also works by balancing out signals through voltage regulation. High voltage input signals are reduced to a more manageable, consistent level. As a single component, the SMAJ4461E3/TR13 allows users to avoid the cost and space needed to install multiple components.

The working principle of the SMAJ4461E3/TR13 is simple - a constant flow of electrons pass through the component until the desired voltage is reached. Once that voltage is reached, the component is able to manage and keep the voltage constant as long as the power source stays consistent. This is achieved by redirecting the excess current away from the voltage source.

The component is able to handle a range of voltages by working with large capacitors and resistors. Depending on the desired voltage, the capacitor and resistor connected to the component can be adjusted to reach the desired amount. This complex network of capacitors and resistors are able to operate in tandem to handle voltages that range from 0.5V - 1500V.

Larger versions are also suitable for use depending on the application. When in a circuit, the component works as an open as long as the input voltage does not exceed the ave reguired. Such protection from power fluctuations is valuable for electronic systems that use fairly many components, such as mobile applications.

The SMAJ4461E3/TR13 is a versatile electrical component that allows users to regulate voltage silently and accurately. Through its use, systems experience greater stability by operating within a smaller range of power, which keeps them safe from any unwanted power disturbances.
