The 27V 0.5 Watt Zener Diode is a high-quality, voltage-regulating component designed to maintain a stable output voltage of 27 volts in reverse bias conditions. This Zener diode is ideal for applications that require over-voltage protection, voltage regulation, or signal clipping. With a power dissipation rating of 0.5 watts, it can safely handle moderate power levels in electronic circuits. It is typically used in power supply designs, protection circuits, and voltage regulation for low-power devices.
When connected in reverse bias, the 27V Zener Diode will conduct current once the reverse voltage exceeds 27V. It "clamps" the voltage across the diode to 27V, maintaining a stable voltage despite variations in the input. The diode allows the excess voltage to flow through it, protecting sensitive components in the circuit from voltage spikes or over-voltage conditions. The 0.5-watt rating indicates the maximum power the diode can dissipate before overheating.
Typical Use Cases:
Voltage regulation in low-power circuits
Over-voltage protection for sensitive components
Power supply designs for Arduino or microcontroller-based projects
Signal limiting or clipping circuits
LED voltage regulation
Maximum power dissipation limited to 0.5W â exceeding this can cause thermal damage.
May not be suitable for high-current or high-power applications.
Tolerance of Zener voltage may vary, leading to slight voltage variations (typically Âą5%).
Requires proper heat dissipation to prevent thermal failure when near maximum rating.
