1N5347/TR8

The 1N5347/TR8 is a single Zener diode that provides protection to the circuit and stabilizes the voltage at a predetermined voltage level. It can be used in a variety of applications, especially those that demand precise control of voltages over a wide range of current levels. The 1N5347/TR8 also has the advantage of being an inexpensive and easy to install solution.

1N5347/TR8 diodes work primarily by utilizing a reverse leakage current through the diode which is proportional to its Zener voltage. In operation, the reverse voltage is applied to the diode and the forward current flows in the direction of the arrow marked on the diode. When the applied voltage reaches a value beyond the breakdown voltage, or, Zener voltage, of the diode, the diode turns on and conducts in the reverse direction. This corresponds to a certain limited reverse current through the diode. This current remains constant over a wide range of voltages and the output (reverse) voltage is maintained at the Zener voltage, thus providing stable voltage regulation.

The 1N5347/TR8 can be used in a variety of applications, as it is able to regulate and protect against both over-voltage and under-voltage conditions. This opens up a range of applications, such as in power supplies, voltage regulators and voltage protection circuits. The diode can also be used in high frequency low off-state leakage and high current applications. The 1N5347/TR8 has a wide operating temperature range (-55°C to +125°C) and is able to provide reliable overvoltage protection and stable voltage regulation for a wide range of applications.

In summary, the 1N5347/TR8 is a single Zener diode that provides voltage regulation and protection against over- and under-voltage and has a wide range of applications. The diode is inexpensive, easy to install and reliable when used in the proper application. The 1N5347/TR8 can be used in a variety of applications and is suitable for low off-state leakage and high current applications.
