The 1N4736AP/TR8 has a nominal junction breakdown voltage of 6.8V and a power dissipation of 500mW. It also comes with an incredibly low leakage current and high surge current capabilities. It is protected with a glass passivated junction and it has a characrteristic impedance of 50 ohms.

Application fields are diverse and include rectification, voltage regulation, and voltage limiting. It can also be used as interfacing and buffer. Typical usage include high frequency switching, switching poles, power supply protection, power distribution systems, and motor/solenoid drivers. The 1N4736AP/TR8 is able to provide reliable protection for circuits exposed to surges, RF radiations, and other transients.

The form of the 1N4736AP/TR8 includes a small, flat, leaded package. This is great for various installation methods, including in-line and soldering. In addition, it is manufactured in accordance to RoHS compliance, making it an even more attractive option.

The 1N4736AP/TR8 is a silicon planar epitaxial device that is hybridized and confinned in a flat, leaded package. When the diode is reverse-biased, the blocks incoming current. When the polarity is forward-biased, the current passes through the device. This is what is known as the operating principle of the device, and it is based on the PN junction.

When the configuration is set to reverse-bias, the voltage is allowed to exceed the junction breakdown voltage, with the current in inverse proportion to the breakdown voltage. This creates a stable current-voltage relation, allowing efficient voltage regulation. This can be adjusted as needed.

In conclusion, the 1N4736AP/TR8 is a reliable and efficient zener diode that can be used to protect and regulate voltage. It offers great stability and a wide range of applications for different purposes. The operating principle of the device is based on a PN junction, which allows for efficient regulation of incoming current.
