Frequently Asked Questions...
What is the breakdown voltage of this zener diode?
Reverse voltage (V): -1 -3 -5 -5.6 -5.7 -5.8 -5.9 -6
Reverse current (mA); 0.01 0.01 0.02 1 13 25 37.5 50
How is the break down voltage determined from this data?
Cheers!
Answer:
The breakdown voltage occurs when the current rises rapidly
From your data the breakdown voltage is -5.6V
