1N5347E3/TR13

1N5347E3/TR13 diodes are a type of single zener diode that are mostly used for providing a constant voltage to circuits. They counteract voltage drops caused by current flow and assist in maintaining the flow of current.

Single zener diodes like the 1N5347E3/TR13 are a two-lead device that provide circuit protection against voltage spikes and surges. A zener diode is made up of a p-n junction whose depletion region is larger than that of a standard diode. This allows higher currents to flow, thus increasing protection against voltage spikes. The 1N5347E3/TR13 has a maximum current rating of 400mA and a maximum power rating of 500mW. It has a very low forward voltage drop of 0.5V.

1N5347E3/TR13 diodes are widely used in a variety of applications. It can be used in battery chargers to protect against sudden voltage changes, or as a voltage regulator in automotive lighting applications. It is also used in telecommunications applications and computer peripherals, as well as in circuit protection for power supplies. It is also widely used for surge protection and in DC/DC converters.

The working principle of the 1N5347E3/TR13 diode is simple. When there is forward-biased current, the diode behaves like a normal diode and allows the current to flow. When the provided current gets too high, the diode enters its reverse-bias state and provides protection by limiting the current flow. In this state, the voltage across the diode is constant and prevents any increase in the current.

The 1N5347E3/TR13 diode is a reliable and versatile device for providing circuit protection in a variety of applications. Its low forward voltage drop and high current capacity make it ideal for use in many applications. It is also easy to use and install, making it one of the most popular types of zener diodes.
