Diode generates constant voltage when reverse voltage is applied.
Use as a protective device to protect against constant voltage circuits and surge current and static electricity.
Main specifications: Zener voltage 3 V (type) tolerance ± 5% power consumption: 500 mW (max) Operating resistance: 29 Ω @ Iz=20 mA; Reverse leakage current 50 μA @ 1 V forward voltage 1.2 V (max) @ 200 mA operating temperature range -65 °C to 200 °C.
