The Zener diode is a sharply break down voltage diode which allows current to flow in the forward direction in the same manner as an ideal diode, but also permits it to flow in the reverse direction when the voltage is above a certain value known as the breakdown voltage.

1N5338B 5.1Volt 5W Zener diode is a two-way switch means that it can conduct current in forward as well as reverse direction. It is a heavily doped diode and permits the reverse current when a specific voltage level is reached.

Applications of 5.1V 5W 1N5338B Zener Diode:-

It is used as a voltage regulator.
