Power is calculated by multiplying current by voltage pie, so we can calculate power dissipations for both the resistor and the zener diode quite easily. A zener diode is a unique diode that allows current to flow in the forward direction in the same manner as an ideal diode, but will also permit it to flow in the reverse direction when the voltage is above a certain value known as the breakdown voltage, zener knee voltage or zener voltage. On the datasheet given, we can see that i zt 34ma, which is the minimum current needed for reaching v z, and i zm 121 ma is the maximum admisible current. Mouser is an authorized distributor for many zener diode manufacturers including central semiconductor, diodes inc, microsemi, nexperia, on semiconductor.

Zener diode made specially to operate in the reverse breakdown region. Zener diodes when we first talked about practical diodes, it was mentioned that a parameter associated with the diode in the reverse bias region was the breakdown voltage, v br, also known as the peakinverse voltage piv. I cant understand why zeners arent included in the graphical sidepane, or at least just listed as a subcategory under diodes. In terms of type, the zener diodes market can be segmented into surface mount zener diode and throughhole zener diode. However, their operation direction of current flow is totally different. Not all zener diodes break down in the exact same manner.
Zener diode voltage regulators 2 the forward bias region of a zener diode is identical to that of a regular diode. Technical incorporations zener diodes are used for the safeguard of leds to prevent from esd surge.
