Constant Current Diodes

Constant Current Diodes (CCDs), also known as Current Regulating Diodes, are essential components utilised in various electronic applications to maintain a consistent current flow, regardless of voltage changes. These diodes are vital in circuits where stable current is critical, such as LED lighting, battery charging, and sensor circuits. CCDs are designed to keep the current steady even if the input voltage varies, making them indispensable for protecting sensitive components. Composed of semiconductor materials like silicon, these diodes are compact, durable, and highly reliable, ensuring optimal performance in demanding conditions. They function by regulating current flow through their semiconductor junction, ensuring that the current remains constant despite variations in voltage. This regulation prevents current spikes, protecting connected components.
