Zener Diodes
A Zener diode is designed for controlled reverse-breakdown operation to establish a voltage reference or limit voltage within a specified current range.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Zener diode is used for regulating voltage in practical circuit applications. This semi-conductor device permits the flow of current in a unidirectional way. Provided with sufficient voltage, they allow the flow of current in the opposite direction as well. The excess voltage required for reversing the direction of flow of current is termed as breakdown voltage or Zener voltage. The major role of a Zener Diode is to function as a voltage regulator. It is fairly employed in many electrical and electronic tools and equipments. The Zener Diode varies in a wider range based on its mounting location. Most of them are either mounted onto a surface or found in holed components. The surface mount Zener Diodes are directly mounted on a printed circuit board.
Breakdown voltage varies with test current, dynamic resistance and temperature; a nominal voltage is not an exact regulated output.
What turns activity into demand
Circuit topology defines rectification, switching, reference or transient-protection duty. Usable demand is constrained by voltage, current, recovery, capacitance and the available thermal path.
The commercial boundary
Material, junction function and package are separate specifications. A similar exterior cannot establish the reverse-voltage, pulse or switching boundary.
Why is nominal Zener voltage not an exact reference?
Breakdown voltage varies with test current, dynamic resistance and temperature; a nominal voltage is not an exact regulated output.
