1EZ110D2E3/TR8

Diodes - Zener - Single

The 1EZ110D2E3/TR8 is a dual-common anode Zener diode. It is embedded in a TO-220 package and comes with a maximum reverse power dissipation capacity of 800 mW. It is primarily used in applications such as high-voltage rectifiers, voltage regulation systems, and clippers and crowbar protection circuits.

Zener diodes are diodes that allow current to flow in opposite directions, depending on the external influence. This is known as the “Zener effect” and occurs when the external voltage applied to the diode exceeds a certain threshold. They are used extensively in voltage regulation systems since they can prevent the voltage introduced to an electrical circuit from exceeding its rated level.

The 1EZ110D2E3/TR8 is specifically designed for voltage regulation applications. It has a high breakdown voltage of 11 V and a forward voltage drop of 0.75 V. The device features series connection with common cathode and a dual-common anode for output voltage stability. Its fast recovery time (5 ns) and low reverse leakage current (10 μA) make it suitable for combination with other components in a circuit. Additionally, the 1EZ110D2E3/TR8 features a high temperature operating range of 65 to +175⁰C.

When in a voltage regulation system, the 1EZ110D2E3/TR8 works to prevent overvoltages. When a voltage spike exceeds the diode’s rating, the diode will quickly cut off the flow of current, thus limiting and regulating the voltage that is delivered to the rest of the circuit. It also prevents strong electric forces from developing and damaging critical components and wiring.

In addition, the 1EZ110D2E3/TR8 can be used in combination with other components such as Zener diodes, resistors, and transistors, to form a clipper or crowbar circuit. In this configuration, the 1EZ110D2E3/TR8 will open and short the output signal when the signal voltage attempts to exceed the breakdown voltage of the diode. This offers extra protection against potential damage caused by overvoltages.

Overall, the 1EZ110D2E3/TR8 is a reliable dual-common anode Zener diode specifically designed and optimized for voltage regulation systems such as high-voltage rectifiers and clippers and crowbar protection circuits. It features a high breakdown voltage of 11 V, a forward voltage drop of 0.75 V and a high temperature operating range of 65 to +175⁰C.
