Zener Diode (6V) 1.3 W 5pcs

The Zener Diode (6V) 1.3 W pack contains five Zener diodes with a nominal Zener voltage of 6 V and a power rating of 1.3 W. A Zener diode conducts in reverse once the voltage reaches its Zener voltage and then holds that voltage nearly constant, which makes it useful for simple voltage regulation, reference voltages and protecting inputs from overvoltage. The 1.3 W rating handles more current than common 0.5 W Zeners.

Zener Diode (6V) 1.3 W Specifications

• Zener voltage: 6 V nominal
• Power rating: 1.3 W
• Maximum Zener current at 1.3 W: about 0.2 A (I = P / V)
• Type: through-hole Zener diode, axial leads
• Polarity: the band marks the cathode
• Pack size: 5 pieces

Zener Diode (6V) 1.3 W Applications

• Simple shunt voltage regulators
• Voltage references for comparators and ADC inputs
• Overvoltage protection for sensor and microcontroller inputs
• Clamping voltage spikes in power circuits
• Diode experiments in electronics labs

What's in the Box

• 5 × 6 V 1.3 W Zener diodes

Tip: Fit the Zener in reverse: the banded cathode goes to the positive side. Always add a series resistor to limit the current, R = (Vin − 6 V) ÷ I, and keep the diode's power (6 V × I) well under 1.3 W.
