1N5930P/TR12

Diodes - Zener - Single

1N5930P/TR12 is a high power Zener diode, primarily designed for use in different industrial and commercial applications. This diode is designed to provide a low impedance and low noise source for the protection of power devices such as relays, motors, drives, etc., from excessive voltage, but it has many other applications in industrial and commercial markets as well.

The 1N5930P/TR12 is a standard single-phase Zener diode with a breakdown voltage of 12 volts and an operating current of 200 mA. This diode is designed for high voltage applications and its reverse leakage current is minimal. It features a high surge current capability, and is tolerant of up to 8 A of pulse current. This diode also features a very low thermal resistance, making it suitable for applications where extreme temperatures are encountered.

In terms of its basic working principle, the 1N5930P/TR12 is a voltage-controlled device that provides a stable current when used in the reverse breakdown region. When the diode is reverse biased, the applied voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage and electrons are injected from the anode of the diode into the reverse biased region, which subsequently increases the electric current flow. When the applied voltage in the reverse direction becomes less than the breakdown voltage, the current ceases to flow.

The 1N5930P/TR12 is primarily used in applications like overvoltage protection for power devices, signal protection, AC/DC-DC converters, energy monitoring systems, overvoltage and undervoltage protection for power supplies, switches and relays, and circuit protection for charge controllers. The device is also suitable for applications that require high voltage and temperature operation. In addition, this diode can be used as a switch in devices that require high power to be switched on and off.

The 1N5930P/TR12 is a reliable and efficient device with a wide range of application fields. It features an integrated ESD protection circuit that is compliant to the IEC 61000-4-2 standard, providing protection against electrostatic discharge. It is also packaged in a surface mount TO-252 package, which is compliant with RoHS regulations.

This diode is suitable for use in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications, and its versatility and efficiency make it the ideal choice for various applications. Its low on-state resistance, high level of tolerance and low thermal resistance make it suitable for many use cases, and its excellent performance makes it a perfect choice for applications that require high temperature and voltage operation.
