a break down diode is a diode that allows current to flow freely in one direction but not in the other the difference between it and a standard diode is that it is a semiconductor in the direction that current doesn't flow freely in
current only flows in this side when the voltage reaches a set point and the resistance then breaks-down and allows the current to flow it is useful where the circuit might require low voltage protection
What else can I help you with?
What is the forward breakdown voltage for in4007 diode?
there is no forward breakdown voltage for any diode
What are the types of breakdown region in diode?
zener breakdown and avalanche breakdown.
Does diode spoil during breakdown?
no
Why breakdown occurs in diode?
Normally too higher voltage burns the diode.
What is the breakdown voltage of 1N4007 diode?
The reverse breakdown voltage of the 1N4007 diode is 1000 volts.
What will a Zener diode do at breakdown voltage?
A Zener Diode will continue to show its breakdown characteristics until it gets fried...for example a 5 volt zener will get fried at a breakdown voltage of about 6 volts..this happens because of the large amount of current flowing through the small diode which unfortunately the diode cannot handle.
What indicate 1 in 1N4007 diode?
general purpose diode with 1000V reverse breakdown.
Does the material of the diode depends on break down voltage?
A Germanium diode has a much lower breakdown voltage than a silicone diode.
Zener diode works in what condition?
breakdown condition
What is breakdown voltage of diode?
The critical value of the voltage, at which the breakdown of a P-N junction diode occurs is called the breakdown voltage.The breakdown voltage depends on the width of the depletion region, which, in turn, depends on the doping level. The junction offers almost zero resistance at the breakdown point.
What is the value of the breakdown voltage for zener diode?
It depends on the particular diode. They come in all different values.
Operation of zener diode?
A: A zener is a diode that when connected in the reverse mode current direction it will breakdown to a predetermined voltage any further increasing voltage the breakdown will remain practically the same.
