6.2V 1W Zener Diode (5-Piece Pack)

A zener diode behaves like an ordinary diode in the forward direction, but once reverse-biased past its specific breakdown voltage it holds that voltage steady across a useful range of currents, which makes it a simple building block for voltage reference circuits, overvoltage clamping, and basic signal clipping. This 6.2V-rated part sits in the lower end of commonly used zener voltages, handy for setting a reference just above typical logic-level voltages or clamping a signal that shouldn't exceed roughly 6V. Its 1W power rating gives it enough headroom for light-duty regulation and clamping tasks without needing a bulkier higher-wattage part.
