1EZ180D10/TR12

The 1EZ180D10/TR12 diode is a component component made from a specific type of material best suited for a variety of applications. Specifically, the 1EZ180D10/TR12 is a type of single Zener diode. So, what are the main applications and how does the component actually work?

Zener diodes owe their name to American physicist, scientist and engineer, Clarence Zener. Zener diodes are designed to breakdown at a predetermined voltage, allowing a reverse voltage condition to be used to regulate the voltage presented at the anode end of the component. As a result, Zener diodes are often used as voltage regulators.

The 1EZ180D10/TR12 component is used in a range of applications. This includes applications such as audio attenuators, modulators and TV receivers, along with other sensitive circuits to reduce power consumption and bleed off stored energy.

The component is also of great use in rectifier circuits due to its ability to absorb power and reduce noise. It also helps to reduce overshoot in switching-type circuits, whilst providing a reverse polarity protection in sensitive circuits.

The 1EZ180D10/TR12 works by allowing current to flow through the component in one direction but not the other. As such, it acts as a one-way valve against voltage, helping to regulate current and maintain a steady voltage across a circuit. The component is well suited to relatively low current and voltage applications, where the Zener diode’s reverse-voltage conditioning can be put to greatest use.

The 1EZ180D10/TR12 component is also well suited for high-speed applications, such as in digital and communications equipment, where its ability to regulate voltages between 3.99V and 5.1V makes it ideal for use with microprocessors. The component is also relatively small, making it well suited to compact circuitry.

To summarise, the 1EZ180D10/TR12 is a type of single Zener diode designed to offer voltage regulation in both traditional and high-speed applications. The component provides a reliable method of one-way current regulation in sensitive circuits, as well as helping to provide reverse voltage protection. The 1EZ180D10/TR12 is neither too large to be cumbersome in small-scale applications, nor is it limited to only regulating low-level currents.
