The BZX85B36 is a 1.3W Zener diode produced by Vishay. As a Zener diode, it is specifically designed to operate in the reverse breakdown region, providing a stable voltage of 36V across its terminals when the reverse voltage exceeds this value. This characteristic makes it ideal for voltage regulation and overvoltage protection applications.
