12.1V 1/2w Zener Diode

A Zener Diode, also referred to as a breakdown diode, is a specially doped semiconductor device engineered to function in the reverse direction. When the voltage across a Zener diode’s terminals is reversed and reaches the Zener Voltage (also known as the knee voltage), the junction experiences a breakdown, allowing current to flow in the opposite direction. This phenomenon, known as the Zener Effect, is a key characteristic of Zener diodes.
