1N4760APE3/TR8

The 1N4760APE3/TR8 is a single zener diode in a DO-35 type package that is offered by Diodes Inc. The product is known for its low-voltage operation, low leakage, and high reliability.

The product is used in applications such as voltage regulation, voltage clamping, and surge protection. It is also used in low-voltage circuits as a voltage reference, a voltage limiter, or an amplitude limiter. An example of a typical application is where the diode is used as a voltage reference for the low-voltage regulator.

The working principle of the 1N4760APE3/TR8 is based on the electrochemical-reversal phenomenon, which occurs when an electric field of a certain intensity is applied to a junction of two dissimilar semiconductors. In a zener diode, this effect produces an abrupt voltage drop when a positive voltage is applied to the anode and a negative voltage is applied to the cathode.

The diode\'s breakdown voltage depends on the doping levels of the material used in the semiconductor junction. The larger the doping levels, the higher the breakdown voltage. The voltage required to cause breakdown is called the zener voltage. The 1N4760APE3/TR8 has a nominal rating of 5.1 volts, with a maximum 6.3 volts.

The device also has a very low reverse leakage, which is typically 0.1 microamps. The reverse leakage current is the current that flows through the diode when a negative voltage is applied to the anode and a positive voltage is applied to the cathode. This feature ensures that the device is not adversely affected by reverse voltage transients. This product is also rated for a maximum power dissipation of 500 milliwatts.

The 1N4760APE3/TR8 has been designed to provide high reliability in a wide range of applications. The product is well-suited for applications which require a zener diode that is capable of withstanding high reverse voltages, while still providing a low forward voltage drop. This product also provides excellent performance in environments that require both high voltage and low temperature.
