What makes Zener diodes so special

Zener diodes behave differently from regular diodes by allowing current to flow in reverse at a specific voltage. This video explains how that property helps stabilize voltage in electronic circuits.
PCB designed for use with Hammond 1591XXSSBK ABS enclosure (specifically position of mounting holes) This adjustable current source is initially designed to measure the voltage of Zener diodes up to ...
