Description
Zener diode is a type of diode designed to allow current to flow in both directions, but with a key feature: it can conduct in the reverse direction once the voltage exceeds a specified ‘Zener voltage.’ This makes Zener diodes ideal for voltage regulation, protecting circuits by maintaining a stable output voltage. They are commonly used in power supplies, voltage clamping, and surge protection applications to safeguard sensitive components from voltage spikes.
Zener Diodes are essential components used for voltage regulation and protection in electronic and robotics circuits. They allow current to flow in both directions but regulate voltage when operated in reverse bias, making them ideal for protecting sensitive components from overvoltage. Commonly used in power supplies, microcontroller circuits, and signal processing systems, Zener diodes help ensure stable and reliable circuit performance. These diodes are compact, highly efficient, and easy to integrate into breadboards or PCBs, making them perfect for robotics enthusiasts, students, and professionals working on advanced electronic systems.
