1N5923PE3/TR8

Diodes - Zener - Single

The 1N5923PE3/TR8 is a epitaxial-base Zener diode with general purpose features. It is designed to provide excellent power handling capability and high Zener voltages. They are perfect for many applications, including those that require static-sensitive internal protection from transient voltage stress.

Application Field

This device is suitable for a variety of applications, such as voltage regulation, clamping, and protection circuits. This can be in the areas of consumer electronics, computers, automotive components, industrial control, power supplies, and more. The 1N5923PE3/TR8 can be used as an overvoltage protection device, preventing current surges or overvoltage conditions in circuits. It can also be used as a transient suppressor in order to protect components from voltage transients.

Working Principle

The 1N5923PE3/TR8 is an example of a Zener diode, which works by allowing current to “Zener” or “clamp” when it reaches a certain threshold voltage. This voltage, or “Zener voltage”, is the reverse bias voltage at which the Zener diode begins to “breakdown” and allow current through. Under normal operating conditions, only a very small amount of current passes through the diode due to their extremely high impedance. When the Zener voltage is exceeded, however, the diode will “breakdown” and the current will begin to climb exponentially.

The 1N5923PE3/TR8 is designed to provide a stable Zener voltage, across a wide temperature range. This stability is important in order to ensure that the Zener voltage remains within the specified range, regardless of external conditions. The 1N5923PE3/TR8 also has a deep reverse bias junction that provides excellent power handling capability.

Conclusion

The 1N5923PE3/TR8 is a general purpose Zener diode designed to provide excellent power handling capability and high Zener voltages. It can be used in a variety of applications, including voltage regulation, clamping, and protection circuits. The Zener diode works by allowing current to “Zener” or “clamp” when it reaches a certain threshold voltage, which ensures that current does not damage internal components. The 1N5923PE3/TR8 is designed to provide a stable Zener voltage, across a wide temperature range, making it perfect for various applications.
