1N747 Overview

1N747 is a 3.6 Volt 400mW Zener diode that is a two-way switching device, which means it can conduct current in both directions. It is a strongly doped diode that allows reverse current to flow when a certain voltage threshold is reached. Zener diodes are utilized in voltage regulation circuits.

This Zener diode has a nominal Zener voltage of 3.6V and a tolerance of 5%. It's a 500mW Zener diode with a 1.5V forward voltage. To stabilize the regulation, only 20mA of bias current is required.


1N747 Feature

  • Power Dissipation: 500 mW

  • Forward Voltage(IF=200 mA): 1.5 Volts

  • Zener Bias Current: 20 mA

1N747 Schematic

The Zener diode is linked to the load in both reverse and parallel.

A significant current begins to flow through the Zener diode whenever a voltage greater than the reverse breakdown voltage is applied to the Zener. A small voltage drop exists across the Zener diode. When the voltage is raised higher, the current increases, but the voltage across the Zener remains constant and equal to its breakdown voltage. Because the load is linked in parallel to the Zener, the voltage across the load equals the breakdown voltage of the Zener. It gives us two advantages. The voltage is first controlled or clipped to the reverse breakdown voltage level. Second, all high current flows through the diode rather than the load, protecting it from damage.

In short, if we need 10 volts across a load, we need a Zener diode with a reverse voltage of 10 volts.

  • Mount

    In electronic components, the term "Mount" typically refers to the method or process of physically attaching or fixing a component onto a circuit board or other electronic device. This can involve soldering, adhesive bonding, or other techniques to secure the component in place. The mounting process is crucial for ensuring proper electrical connections and mechanical stability within the electronic system. Different components may have specific mounting requirements based on their size, shape, and function, and manufacturers provide guidelines for proper mounting procedures to ensure optimal performance and reliability of the electronic device.

  • Max Operating Temperature

    The Maximum Operating Temperature is the maximum body temperature at which the thermistor is designed to operate for extended periods of time with acceptable stability of its electrical characteristics.

    175°C
  • Min Operating Temperature

    The "Min Operating Temperature" parameter in electronic components refers to the lowest temperature at which the component is designed to operate effectively and reliably. This parameter is crucial for ensuring the proper functioning and longevity of the component, as operating below this temperature may lead to performance issues or even damage. Manufacturers specify the minimum operating temperature to provide guidance to users on the environmental conditions in which the component can safely operate. It is important to adhere to this parameter to prevent malfunctions and ensure the overall reliability of the electronic system.

  • Max Reverse Leakage Current

    Max Reverse Leakage Current refers to the maximum amount of current that can flow through a semiconductor device, such as a diode or transistor, when it is reverse biased. This current is an important parameter as it indicates the level of unintended current that can flow when the device is not conducting in the forward direction. High values of reverse leakage current can lead to power loss, reduced efficiency, and may affect the performance and reliability of electronic circuits. It is particularly critical in applications where precise current control and low power consumption are necessary.

  • Zener Voltage

    The Zener voltage is a crucial parameter in Zener diodes, which are specialized semiconductor devices designed to maintain a constant voltage across their terminals when operated in the reverse-biased mode. The Zener voltage, also known as the breakdown voltage, is the voltage at which the Zener diode starts conducting in the reverse direction. This voltage is carefully controlled during the manufacturing process and is a key characteristic that determines the diode's functionality in voltage regulation and protection circuits. Zener diodes are commonly used in various electronic applications to stabilize voltage levels and protect sensitive components from voltage spikes.
