Wholesale Zener Diodes Distributors Offer a Wide Range of Hard to Find and Active Diodes

Wholesale Zener Diodes Distributors Offer a Wide Range of Hard to Find and Active Diodes Ordinary diodes are known as a device that allows the flow of current in the forward direction with a negligible voltage drop across them. They offer resistance to the flow of current when used in reverse bias. The Zener diodes are the special type of diode, that operate in reverse biased conditions, and these diodes do not get damaged even when the voltage across them exceeds the reverse breakdown voltage.

The Zener diodes are widely used as voltage references and as shunt regulators to regulate the voltage across small circuits. In any power supply circuit, a regulator is used to provide a constant output voltage irrespective of variation in input voltage.

Applications of the Zener Diodes: As a voltage stabilizer In the commercial and industrial applications, zener diodes are used as a voltage stabilizer. Many wholesale zener diodes distributors are involved in offering a wide range of silicon diodes and Schottky diodes of CDIL, MIC to the most valued customers. The zener diodes provide the uninterrupted voltage from the fluctuating voltage source to the load. They are connected in parallel across the load and maintain the voltage (Vz).

As a meter protector In order to protect the meter movement against the damage from the accidental overloads, Zener diodes are employed in millimeters. From the safety point of view, they are connected in parallel with the meter. In case of any accidental overload, the meter movement is protected from any damage as most of the current is passed through the Zener diode.

As a voltage shifter The voltage shifter is one of the simplest applications of the Zener diodes. When you are connecting a 3.3 v sensor to a 5V MCU, and find the errors in reading, then Zener diodes as a voltage shifter help to convert the signal from one voltage to another and maintain steady output voltage in the breakdown region, it makes them perfect component for the operation.

As a wave converter In the opposite direction, the diodes are connected back to back. By placing the two Zener Diodes in series with the resistance, they are used to convert a sine wave into square waves. During half positive and negative cycle, if the voltage across the diodes is below the Zener value they offer a high resistance path.

However, when the voltage increases above the Zener value, the Zener diodes offer a low resistance path and conduct a large current. Due to this, across the resistance, heavy voltage drop occurs and as a result the input wave cutoff at the peak. Thus square wave appears across the output terminal.

Another application of zener diode is as waveform clippers which are used to shape and modify an input AC waveform or signal producing a different shape of the output signal so Wholesale Zener Diodes Distributors offer these products in the various dimensions depending on the specifications of the clipper or clamper from the different manufacturers and dealers.
