1N3824AUR-1

The 1N3824AUR-1 is a single Zener diode in the series of semiconductor components produced by On Semiconductor. It is a high-density, quad-cell diode, available in a variety of package options. The diode\'s voltage regulator function is ideally suited to power supplies and the power conditioning market where low-power solutions are essential. In addition, the diode\'s low leakage current properties make it ideal for applications where minimization of current flow is imperative.

The 1N3824AUR-1 Zener diode is a two-terminal, PN junction device designed for voltage regulation over a wide range of input voltages. It can operate as a voltage clamp, a voltage regulator, or as an overvoltage protector. In this application use in the overload protection circuit, it prevents any excess voltage from reaching the protected device and powering it beyond its safe operating limit. The device can be designed with either a common anode or a common cathode connection.

When used to provide overvoltage protection, the 1N3824AUR-1 is usually connected in series with the protected device. The diode\'s PN junction conducts current when the voltage across the junction exceeds the diode\'s reverse breakdown voltage. This characteristic capacitance is referred to as the Zener voltage. The Zener voltage is set by the manufacturing process, and is specified at a certain temperature. The Zener voltage also varies with temperature, so the device must be designed such that it is appropriate for the operating temperature range.

The 1N3824AUR-1 is a good choice in high-current applications because of its high current carrying capability and low resistance. Additionally, the temperature coefficient of the diode\'s rated current is low, making it suitable for use in temperature-sensitive applications. The diode\'s low leakage current also makes it a good choice for use in low-power solutions.
