1N4731P/TR12

The 1N4731P/TR12 is a type of single Zener diode that is widely used in many electronic applications. It is an ideal component for both linear and switching power supply applications, and is capable of handling high current and voltage levels. The 1N4731P/TR12 is manufactured with a built-in temperature coefficient resistor that helps optimize its operation in various operating temperatures. The device is also suitable for low power radio frequency (RF) applications.

The 1N4731P/TR12 features a Zener voltage of 12.3V at 25°C with a tolerance at either ±4.4% or ±4%, depending on the component\'s order of batch number. It has an operating power of 500mW and a reverse current at 10mA. The maximum reverse voltage rating is 13.5V and the non-repetitive peak forward surge current is 5A at 58V.

The 1N4731P/TR12 also has a very low dynamic resistance of 0.18ohms, making it an excellent choice for low-leakage applications. It also has an incredibly short reverse recovery time of 100ns, ensuring that the diode is able to respond quickly to voltage changes. Furthermore, the 1N4731P/TR12 has excellent thermal and electrical stability, as well as low thermal and leakage current.

The working principle of the 1N4731P/TR12 is quite simple. When the forward biased voltage applied to it is greater than its Zener Voltage and the current flowing through it is less than the rated current, it breaks down and conducts the current. This breakdown is caused by the electrons in the junction of the two junctions, which are accelerated until the critical breakdown voltage is reached. The current then passes through the diode, allowing the Zener Voltage to be maintained across it.

In addition, the 1N4731P/TR12 is widely used in a number of applications. It can be used in generating stable voltage in voltage regulator circuits, and in rectifier circuits. It can also be used in power supplies, audio amplifiers and other electronic circuits. It is also an ideal component for protection against overvoltage, as well as providing necessary isolation between circuits to prevent accidental cross-connection. In addition, it is also used in switching circuits, as it is capable of providing fast switching action.

The 1N4731P/TR12 is a robust and reliable component that is widely used in a variety of electronic applications. It is an excellent choice for power supply and protection applications, as well as for audio amplification. Its excellent parameters make it ideal for use in low-leakage applications and its excellent temperature coefficient resistor helps to provide optimal performance across a wide range of operating temperatures.
