6.8V 5W Zener Diode – Reliable Voltage Regulation

High-Power 6.8 Volt Zener Diode for Voltage Regulation

This 6.8V 5W Zener diode is engineered for robust voltage regulation and overvoltage protection in demanding electronic circuits. With a nominal regulating voltage of 6.8 volts and a maximum power dissipation of 5 watts, this component is ideal for stabilizing voltage, protecting sensitive components, and providing reliable clamping in power supplies, control circuits, and industrial equipment.

Axial Lead Through Hole Zener Diode Construction

Featuring an axial lead, through hole package, this Zener diode ensures secure mounting and excellent heat dissipation. The sturdy construction supports stable operation under continuous power loads and is suited for integration into PCB-based designs where reliability is essential.

Key Features and Specifications

• Nominal Zener Voltage: 6.8V
• Maximum Power Dissipation: 5W
• Package Type: Axial Lead (Through Hole)
• Single diode per package

Typical Applications

• Voltage regulation in power supplies
• Overvoltage and surge protection in electronic circuits
• Reference voltage source for precision circuitry
• Clamping applications in control and measurement systems

Usage Information

For effective voltage clamping and regulation, install the Zener diode in the desired orientation—the cathode should face the point where the regulated voltage is required. Ensure that power dissipation does not exceed the 5W rating for optimal reliability and thermal management.
