The CMPZDA11V Zener diode, manufactured by CENTRAL SEMICONDUCTOR, is a crucial component for voltage regulation and circuit protection. Supreme Components International, an authorised distributor, provides this high-quality diode in a compact SOT-23 package. With a Zener voltage of 11V and a power dissipation of 500mW, the CMPZDA11V offers stable and reliable performance. Zener diodes are designed to maintain a constant voltage across their terminals when reverse biased. This characteristic makes them ideal for creating stable voltage references, protecting sensitive circuits from overvoltage conditions, and clipping or shaping waveforms. The CMPZDA11V is suitable for a wide range of applications, including power supplies, communication equipment, and industrial control systems. Its small size and robust performance make it a versatile choice for modern electronic designs.
