1N4728A is a part number for a Zener diode. It is commonly used in electronic circuits as a voltage regulator or voltage reference.
The 1N4728A diode is a through-hole diode with a DO-41 package and has a breakdown voltage of 3.3V. When the voltage across the diode exceeds the breakdown voltage, it begins to conduct current in the reverse direction, effectively clamping the voltage at the breakdown voltage level.
Zener diodes are commonly used in applications such as voltage regulators, voltage references, and surge protectors. They are used to regulate voltage levels and protect electronic circuits from voltage spikes and surges.
The 1N4728A diode is a low-cost and widely available diode that is commonly used in electronic projects and products. It is available in various package options, including surface-mount packages, which make it easy to use in different types of circuits.
