12V 1/4W Zener Diode Set – Voltage Regulator Value Pack (10 Piece)

Product Overview

A Zener diode is a specialized semiconductor that allows current to flow in reverse once a specific ‘Zener Voltage’ is reached. Our 12V 1/4 Watt diodes are designed for precision regulation in low-power circuits. They are an essential part of any electronics workbench, acting as the first line of defense in voltage clamping and protection circuits. These are high-quality parts with a sharp breakdown characteristic for reliable performance.

Key Features

• 12V Zener Voltage: Accurate regulation for standard 12V logic and rails.
• 1/4 Watt (250mW) Rating: Ideal for small signal and low-current applications.
• 10 Piece Value Pack: Cost-effective for bulk projects and repairs.
• Durable Glass Package: Standard DO-35 style for easy mounting.
• Reliable Performance: Consistent reverse breakdown characteristics.

Benefits

Using our 12V Zener diodes ensures that your circuit’s voltage remains stable, even if the input supply fluctuates. They prevent catastrophic failures in microcontrollers and sensors by ‘shunting’ excess voltage to the ground. This 10-piece set ensures you always have a replacement ready during prototyping or repair jobs. It is an affordable investment in the safety and stability of your DIY electronics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use these for a 12V battery charger?
A: These are for low-current signal regulation. For high-current battery charging protection, a higher wattage (5W+) Zener would be required.
Q: Are these suitable for breadboards?
A: Yes, they feature standard axial leads that fit perfectly into all standard breadboards.
