Zener Diode Apparatus
Product Code : SCL-EAE-11322
The Zener Diode Apparatus provides a structured platform for examining a Zener diode under forward- and reverse-bias conditions. In forward bias, the device behaves similarly to a conventional semiconductor diode. In reverse bias, significant conduction begins when the applied voltage reaches the diode’s specified breakdown region.
The apparatus supports measurable experiments rather than theory-only instruction. Students can record diode voltage and current, plot characteristic curves and study basic shunt regulation. As a physics instruments supplier India, Lab Exports ships this apparatus to institutions in Mali (West Africa), Vietnam (Southeast Asia) and Fiji (Pacific), among other countries worldwide. The exact Zener voltage, diode power rating, meter ranges, power arrangement, panel material and terminal configuration must be confirmed before ordering.
Key Features
Forward-bias study: Demonstrates the current-voltage behaviour of a Zener diode in forward conduction.
Reverse-breakdown experiment: Helps learners identify the region where reverse current rises significantly.
V-I curve plotting: Supports recording and graphing of voltage and current observations.
Voltage-regulation learning: Demonstrates basic Zener shunt-regulator operation with a suitable circuit.
Semiconductor training: Connects diode theory with practical laboratory measurements.
Visible circuit relationships: Helps students identify polarity, series resistance and measurement points.
Repeatable laboratory use: Suitable for supervised demonstrations and student practical sessions.
