Current Regulator Diode

The Current Regulator diode is often referred to as a constant current diode rather than maintaining a constant voltage.The current regulator diode operates in forward bias and the forward current becomes a specified constant value and forward voltages ranging from about
1.5 V to about 6 V depending on the diode type.

The constant forward current is called regulator current, Ip.The diodes may be used in parallel obtain higher currents.The diode doesn't have a defined reverse breakdown, V_AK value less than 0.This diode should not be operated in reverse bias.

V_AK= Anode Cathode Voltage

I_D= Diode Current (mn)
