Zener Diode (6.2V) 0.5W 5pcs

The Zener Diode (6.2V) 0.5W is a through-hole Zener diode with a breakdown voltage of 6.2 V and a power rating of 0.5 W, sold in a pack of 5. Used in reverse bias with a series resistor, it holds the voltage across it at about 6.2 V. Zeners around 5 V to 6 V change very little with temperature, which makes 6.2 V a popular value for simple, stable voltage references.

Zener Diode (6.2V) 0.5W Specifications

• Zener voltage: 6.2 V (nominal)
• Power rating: 0.5 W (500 mW)
• Maximum Zener current: about 80 mA in theory (0.5 W ÷ 6.2 V); stay well below this in practice
• Type: Zener diode, through-hole
• Polarity: cathode marked with a band
• Pack size: 5 pieces

Zener Diode (6.2V) 0.5W Applications

• Stable voltage references for comparators and op-amp circuits
• Simple shunt regulators for low-current circuits
• Overvoltage clamping on 5 V and 6 V lines
• Biasing transistor regulator stages
• Electronics labs on diode characteristics

What's in the Box

• 5 × 6.2 V 0.5 W Zener diodes

Tip: Connect the cathode (band end) to the positive side so the diode is reverse biased, and always use a series resistor: R = (Vin − 6.2 V) ÷ I. For example, from 12 V at about 10 mA use a 560 Ω resistor.
