ZMY11-GS08 is a single-zener diode. It offers excellent static and dynamic characteristics and is able to work stably in any electrical environment. It is mainly used in automotive and industrial fields.

Application Field

ZMY11-GS08 can be used in automotive, DC/DC converter and power rectification. In automotive, it can be used in power circuits, cylinder control, double drivers, radiator fan controller, etc. In DC/DC converters, ZMY11-GS08 is used as a protective clamping device to protect common components in the circuit from overvoltage damage. It can also be used as a control element in power rectification.

Working Principle

ZMY11-GS08 is a single-zener diode, which operates on the principle of avalanche breakdown or Zener breakdown. When an electric current passes through the diode and exceeds the rated reverse voltage, the avalanche breakdown or Zener breakdown occurs instantly, causing a large increase in the reverse current. The purpose of this device is to limit the voltage and current, reduce noise, provide protection from overvoltage transients and protect other components from being damaged by the overvoltage.

When the ZMY11-GS08 is in the breakdown state, it will clamp the input voltage to the rated breakdown voltage of the device and maintain it during power surges. This helps to provide a safe and sustained voltage level during peak loads without affecting the operation of the circuit. It also acts as a surge protector, providing additional protection to other components on the same circuit.

Moreover, ZMY11-GS08 can be used as a voltage regulator by using its internal resistance to convert the AC voltage to a specific DC voltage. The internal resistance can be adjusted to get a desired operating voltage. This ability to regulate voltage makes it ideal for applications where the input voltage and current need to be maintained at a certain level.

Finally, ZMY11-GS08 is capable of handling high power and can withstand long-term reverse voltage overloads. This is due to its low forward voltage drop and low thermal resistance, which leads to higher current ratings and power dissipation. These features make it a reliable, long-term solution for power circuits and rectifiers.
