1. Are Zener diodes unidirectional?
In normal operation mode, Zener diodes do exhibit unidirectional conductivity, but they start conducting when reverse biased to their Zener voltage.
-
2. How to tell if a diode is a Zener diode?
You can tell by looking at its symbol (which is slightly different from ordinary diodes), the description in the data sheet, or by testing its reverse characteristic curve. Using a multimeter, you can also measure its forward and reverse resistance values and the voltage drop under specific conditions.
-
3. What happens if a Zener diode is connected in reverse?
When a Zener diode is properly connected in reverse and a sufficient reverse voltage is applied to exceed its Zener voltage, it will begin to conduct and remain at a relatively constant voltage level.
-
4. What happens when a Zener diode fails?
If it is overheated or subjected to excessive current, it may cause permanent damage, which will appear as an open or short circuit state.
