1N5335AE3/TR12

1N5335AE3/TR12 is a Zener diode for single applications. It is primarily used for voltage regulation in applications where space and cost are significant factors. The diode has a reverse-breakdown voltage of 3.3V and 500mW power dissipation. It works by clipping off potential voltage spikes that would otherwise cause damage to sensitive electronic components.

A Zener diode works based on the same principles as a normal diode, but has a special feature which allows it to act as a voltage regulator. The Zener diode is constructed with a heavily doped P-N junction allowing it to conduct in the reverse direction when the voltage reaches a certain threshold. When the reverse voltage exceeds the device\'s breakdown voltage, it will suddenly enter its “forward” or “Zener” mode and quickly clamp the voltage at the specified level while allowing the current to flow through the diode.

The 1N5335AE3/TR12 Zener diode can be used in a variety of different circuits. It can be used to regulate the voltage across a load, to limit the current flowing through a circuit, or to act as a wave-shaping device for digital circuits. It can also be used to clamp off potential voltage spikes in systems with sensitive components, such as microprocessors. It can even be used in clamping applications to reduce EMI (electromagnetic interference).

The 1N5335AE3/TR12 Zener diode is available in two package types: the Mini Small Outline (MSOP) and the SIP (Single In-line Package). The MSOP package is a very small surface-mount package with a footprint of 1mm x 0.5mm, while the SIP package is a slightly larger package with a footprint of 4.5mm x 1.3mm. Both packages are offered with a choice of either gold or tin finish.

The 1N5335AE3/TR12 Zener diode is an ideal choice for applications where space and cost are important factors. The device offers a variety of different uses, from limiting current and regulating voltage to clamping off voltage spikes, while also being very cost-effective. Its small size also means that it can fit into even the most compact circuit designs.
