Toshiba Electronics has expanded its range of Zener diodes with a further 15 products to protect the power lines of semiconductor devices.

Electricity doesn’t just flow freely in every direction—it needs control. That control comes from a tiny but powerful ...

In this article, we will explore the basic functions of the Zener Diode. This device resembles a compact cylinder, much like the conventional diode, with two terminals at the ends that can be wired or ...

[Afroman] is back again with another great tutorial video on the basics of electronics. This time it’s zener diodes. Page three or four of every ‘beginners guide to electronics’ covers a diode as, “a ...

This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in ...

As useful as the rectification properties of diodes are, the forward voltage drop they create can vary widely with temperature. This increases losses and can introduce tolerance errors in power ...

The 15 products in the lineup cover a range of Zener voltage (Vz) from 12V (typ.) to 51V (typ.), supporting a wide range of commonly used voltages. These new products help to enhance equipment ...

Normally, when you want a low DC voltage from the AC line, you think about using a transformer of some kind. [RCD66] noticed that an AC monitor meter must have some sort of power supply but had no ...
