Zener Diode (2.4V) 0.5W 5pcs

The Zener Diode (2.4V) 0.5W pack contains five 2.4 V Zener diodes rated at 0.5 W. When reverse-biased through a series resistor, a Zener diode holds a nearly constant voltage across itself, so this low 2.4 V value is handy for simple voltage references, clamping signals and protecting low-voltage circuits.

Zener Diode (2.4V) 0.5W Specifications

• Zener voltage: 2.4 V
• Power rating: 0.5 W
• Current limit: about 0.2 A absolute (0.5 W ÷ 2.4 V); design for much less
• Polarity: cathode marked by a band
• Pack size: 5 pieces

Zener Diode (2.4V) 0.5W Applications

• Low-voltage references for comparators and simple regulators
• Clamping signals to a low voltage level
• Level shifting and biasing in transistor circuits
• Overvoltage protection on sensor lines
• Learning how Zener regulation works

What's in the Box

• 5 × 2.4 V 0.5 W Zener diodes

Tip: Always use a series resistor: R = (supply voltage − 2.4 V) ÷ current. For example, from 5 V at 10 mA use about 260 Ω (270 Ω is the nearest standard value). Low-voltage Zeners have a soft knee, so their voltage changes more with current than 5.1 V and higher parts.
