Pack Of 5: 12V 1N4742A 1W Zener Diode Through Hole

Its Zener Diode. Zener diodes are primarily used for voltage regulation and voltage reference applications. By connecting a Zener diode in reverse bias across a circuit, it can be used to stabilize the voltage across its terminals, ensuring a constant voltage is maintained regardless of changes in the input voltage or load conditions. This makes Zener diodes useful for applications such as power supplies, voltage clamping, surge protection, and voltage level shifting. A Zener diode is a type of diode that is specifically designed to operate in the reverse breakdown region of its voltage-current characteristic curve. Unlike regular diodes that are designed to conduct current in the forward direction and block it in the reverse direction, Zener diodes are engineered to have a well-defined and precise breakdown voltage, known as the Zener voltage (Vz).
