Since this is so simple we'd expect the submitter to actually test it ahead of time. ...and we just don't have the time to put on it

Sarge was diplomatic, but it's late and I'll go ahead and say it: Are you nuts? You can't be bothered to take the time yourselves but you expect a voluntary helper to do it for you?

 

If anyone knows how to do this problem (overvoltage protection ) using a zener , please post it without any unneeded parts. thanks. We don't have the time to put into researching this problem and thus we are asking for help. Please don't call names if you don't agree with someone else's statements; its much better to post out solutions instead, thanks. (We presume most experts have a few zeners and a few other parts in their toolboxes)

 

Not to worry... We found a source from motorola that uses zeners very similar to what we originally posted...

Why not share the link/circuit with the rest of us?
