1N5359B 24V 5W Zener Diode

The 1N5359B is a high power silicon oxide passivated junction Zener diode designed for voltage stabilization and regulation. As a Zener diode, it is heavily doped to allow current to flow in both the forward direction and in the reverse direction once a specific "Zener voltage" of 24 Volts is reached. This 5-Watt series features tight limits and excellent operating characteristics. It is primarily used in power supplies, voltage protection circuits, and overvoltage protection applications. The device is typically housed in an axial-lead, transfer-molded plastic package that provides durability against common environmental conditions. Due to its high power rating of 5 Watts, it can handle significantly more current than standard 500mW or 1W Zener diodes, making it suitable for more demanding regulation tasks.
