Zener Diode Circuit Symbol. Diode zener electronic symbols. This symbol represents a generic diode or a rectifier diode.
Zener diodes are manufactured with a great variety of zener voltages and some are even variable. The figure given below represents the symbol of a zener diode. Zener diode definition also called stabilizer or stabilistor.
The circuit symbol of zener diode is as shown in the figure.
For convenience it is used normally. A zener diode is a special type of diode designed to reliably allow current to flow backwards when a certain set reverse voltage known as the zener voltage is reached. Zener diodes are manufactured with a great variety of zener voltages and some are even variable. It has a specially doped depletion region which is aimed to conduct only in the reverse biased condition upon the reach of specified voltage level.
