What is 1N4738?


This is 1.0 Watt Zener Diode 3.3 to 100 Volts.

A diode is a two-terminal electronic component that conducts electrical current in only one direction, and acts as a barrier to current flow in the opposite direction. It is a type of semiconductor device that is widely used in electronic circuits for a variety of purposes, including rectification, voltage regulation, and signal processing.

[ Detailed Data ]


In its simplest form, a diode consists of a single p-n junction, which is created by doping a semiconductor material with impurities to produce two regions with different electrical properties. When a forward voltage is applied to the diode, current flows easily in the forward direction, but is blocked in the reverse direction.
