Zener Diode Experiment Circuit Board (Product Code: SCL-431/112) is a self-contained Zener diode kit used to plot the forward and reverse V-I characteristics of a Zener diode in physics and electronics labs. It has a built-in 0–15 V DC, 150 mA regulated supply, two round meters for voltage and current, and 3 Zener diodes mounted behind the panel. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Students wire the supply, meters and chosen Zener diode through the 4 mm sockets, then raise the voltage in small steps and record current against voltage. In forward bias the Zener conducts like an ordinary diode after a small threshold; in reverse bias the current stays tiny until the breakdown voltage, where it rises sharply while the voltage stays nearly constant, the property used for voltage regulation.
Having 3 Zener diodes on one board lets groups repeat or compare readings on a second device without rewiring the whole circuit. Start each run from 0 V, raise the supply slowly near breakdown, and switch off before changing connections. Used alongside a semiconductor diode kit, it completes the diode-characteristics practicals in a senior secondary physics lab.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Zener Diode Experiment Circuit Board. The board, with its supply, meters and panel-mounted diodes, is made and assembled at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, rather than sourced from a trader. Schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers are supplied factory-direct, and service or spares questions are handled by the manufacturer, so ask us. See the ScienceLab company profile.

What experiment does the Zener Diode Experiment Circuit Board perform?
The Zener Diode Experiment Circuit Board (SCL-431/112) is used to study the forward and reverse V-I characteristics of a Zener diode. Students record current against voltage in both directions and identify the breakdown region used for voltage regulation.
What power supply is built into the Zener Diode Experiment Circuit Board?
The Zener Diode Experiment Circuit Board has a built-in DC regulated power supply of 0–15 V DC at 150 mA. Its connections, along with those of the meters and diodes, are brought out to 4 mm sockets on the panel.
How many Zener diodes are on the Zener Diode Experiment Circuit Board?
The Zener Diode Experiment Circuit Board carries 3 Zener diodes mounted behind the panel, with their connections brought out to 4 mm sockets. Groups can take readings on one diode and then repeat or compare them on the others.
What meters are fitted to the Zener Diode Experiment Circuit Board?
Two round meters are fitted to the Zener Diode Experiment Circuit Board, one for voltage and one for current measurement. Meter ranges are not listed here, so ask us through the ScienceLab contact page if your syllabus needs particular ranges.
Who manufactures the Zener Diode Experiment Circuit Board?
The Zener Diode Experiment Circuit Board is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations and repeat supply come directly from the manufacturer.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Zener Diode Experiment Circuit Board meters?
Calibration-certificate availability for the meters on the Zener Diode Experiment Circuit Board should be discussed with us before ordering. Mention it in your enquiry so the manufacturer's quotation states clearly what documentation can be provided.
