1N4759CP/TR8

Diodes - Zener - Single

1N4759CP/TR8 is a zener single diode designed for versatile applications. It is a long lasting diode capable of withstanding heavy power surges, making it a great choice for all types of electronic applications and repair work. The diode is made out of silicon, thus highly conductive and heat-resistant.

Application Field

The 1N4759CP/TR8 is used in many practical applications, especially in engineering and electronics. Its most common use is in voltage regulation. It is used in voltage regulation circuits to drop the input voltage to a specific, lower output voltage. The 1N4759CP/TR8 is widely used in DC power supplies to regulate DC output voltage. It can also be used in general purpose voltage regulators, especially those used in laptops, camera systems and automotive applications.

Working Principle

The working principle of the 1N4759CP/TR8 is based on its inherent zener breakdown mechanism. The zener breakdown mechanism allows the voltage across the diode to reach a certain threshold before it breaks down. This breakdown creates a controlled reverse current that is used to maintain a constant voltage across the device. It is this breakdown mechanism that allows the 1N4759CP/TR8 to effectively regulate voltage by dropping the input voltage to a specific, lower output voltage.

The device has a single PN junction and as biased voltage reaches the device’s zener breakdown voltage, the device starts to conduct in both the forward and reverse direction. The 1N4759CP/TR8 can be used for various applications such as voltage regulation, voltage suppression, voltage reference and temperature stabilization circuits. It can also be used to provide stabilized power supply for electronic circuits. Moreover, it is compatible with a wide range AC voltage supplies since the zener breakdown voltage changes linearly with the AC voltage.

Conclusion

The 1N4759CP/TR8 is an excellent choice for a wide range of electronic applications and repair work. Its zener breakdown feature allows it to maintain a constant regulated voltage across the device. The diode is silicon-based and can handle heavy power surges and resist heat. It is highly durable and efficient, making it ideal for voltage regulation, voltage suppression, voltage reference and temperature stabilization circuits.
