Diodes - Zener - Single

ZMY15-GS18 is an electronic component, a type of diode, from the category of Zener diodes. Zener diodes are widely used in various types of electrical/electronic equipment and are essentially used as a voltage regulator.

The ZMY15-GS18 uses a low power voltage regulator with a maximum voltage of 15V and maximum power of 500mW. The part was developed to regulate the voltage in Pb-free circuit boards, making it an ideal choice for a variety of applications.

Working Principle

The ZMY15-GS18 is designed to operate under Zener diode working principles, in which a plus voltage applied at the anode of the diode produces a current that flows through the diode and out at the cathode. The amount of current created is affected by the threshold voltage and resistance. This is enabled by a unique nonlinear electrical characteristic of the diode, in which current increases exponentially when the voltage reaches the Zener voltage of the diode.

When the current reaches the Zener voltage of the diode, it does not continue to increase. Instead, it is displaced by a breakdown current that is the same for all voltages above the Zener voltage. This allows the diode to regulate the amount of current flowing through it and thus regulate the voltage.

Application Field

The ZMY15-GS18 can be used in a variety of applications such as in consumer electronics, computers and peripherals, test and measurement equipment, industrial controls, telecommunications, and automotive electronics. It can also be used as an isolation diode.

In consumer electronics, the ZMY15-GS18 can be used in audio amplifiers, receivers, and sound systems.
