Zener Diode Datasheet with Reverse Breakdown Voltage, Max Current, and Power Ratings

Please provide me a link of data sheet in which clearly mention of zener diode reverse breakdown voltages, how much max current in forward and reverse and what is the max power dissipation?

There is no point in asking this unless you have the zenor diode part number available The same applies for any diode There is no general datasheet on all Zenor diodes or diodes Every diode has its own characteristics the same applies for any other semiconductor although they may be grouped by part number for BZX , BZY etc as having the same power Normally this is in 1/2 watt 1/4 watt etc but as for reverse and forward voltage characteristics this are entirely different depending on the make up of the diode So you must have the part number to hand in which case you should also be able to perform a search yourself on the net for that Zenor

Breakdown voltage is a parameter of a diode that defines the largest reverse voltage that can be applied without causing an exponential increase in the current in the diode. As long as the current is limited, exceeding the breakdown voltage of a diode does no harm to the diode.
In fact, Zener diodes are essentially just heavily doped normal diodes that exploit the breakdown voltage of a diode to provide regulation of voltage levels.

A Zener diode is a type of diode that permits current not only in the forward direction like a normal diode, but also in the reverse direction if the voltage is larger than the breakdown voltage known as "Zener knee voltage" or "Zener voltage". The device was named after Clarence Zener, who discovered this electrical property.
