Description: Zener Diode 0.5W 1/2w 6.1V 1N5237 Through Hole Voltage Regulator Zener Diodes DO-35 DIP Values Assortment Kit

A Zener diode is a special kind of diode which allows current to flow in the forward direction like a regular diode, but also allows it to flow in the reverse direction when the voltage is above a certain value. This is known as the ‘breakdown voltage’. That means you apply voltage across them, and when a preset voltage is reached, they start conducting. A common analogy is a ‘pressure relief valve’. They have lots of uses, especially in safety circuits where you want to make sure a voltage signal doesn’t exceed a limit that might damage the circuit.

Feature:

• This Zener diode is set at 6.1V , making it ideal for protecting the inputs of a 6.1V circuit.
• Zener diodes are often used to stabilize and clip circuits.
• The Zener Diode is a 6.1V Zener Diode, meaning it has a breakdown voltage of 6.1V .
