Description
The 1N5240 is a Zener diode designed to regulate voltage in electronic circuits. With a breakdown voltage of 10 volts, it operates in the reverse-bias region, maintaining a constant voltage across its terminals when the voltage exceeds the breakdown threshold. This diode is particularly useful for voltage regulation, voltage reference, and overvoltage protection in a variety of electronic applications. Its compact size, reliability, and precise voltage regulation make it a popular choice for designers seeking stable voltage control in power supplies, voltage regulators, and other electronic systems.
