1N965BTR

Diodes - Zener - Single

The 1N965BTR is a popular single zener diode designed for use in a variety of applications. It is characterized by a reverse breakdown voltage (BVR) of 6.2V, making it highly suitable for use in voltage regulation, line protection, and circuit protection. In addition, it has a low capacitance and a maximum power dissipation rating of 350mW.

A zener diode is an electronic component that allows current to flow in a single direction, while operating in the opposite direction as a voltage regulator. In the forward direction, an ordinary PN junction diode conducts current in the same sense along both its P and N sides, allowing it to operate as a rectifier or switch. When operating in the reverse direction, the PN junction diode allows the inversion of polarity, allowing it to operate as a voltage regulator.

In the case of the 1N965BTR, when the reverse bias condition is present, the zener diode begins to operate as a voltage regulator, while still allowing current to flow in the reverse direction. When the voltage applied to the diode exceeds the BVR, it will conduct current in the forward direction, allowing for regulation and protection. This makes it particularly desirable for applications where line protection and circuit protection are needed.

The 1N965BTR can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as automotive systems, consumer electronics, optoelectronic, telecommunications, power supplies, computer systems, and more. It is particularly desirable for applications requiring a regulated voltage with low capacitance, as well as high temperature and power dissipation ratings. Additionally, the 1N965BTR is RoHS compliant and has a maximum operating temperature of 125°C.

The 1N965BTR is also designed to provide a very low EMI, meaning that it radiates very little radio-frequency noise. This makes it an ideal choice for applications requiring very low EMI, such as medical and military applications, where high levels of radio-frequency noise can be disruptive. In addition, this low EMI also means that the 1N965BTR can be used in applications with sensitive circuits and components.

In conclusion, the 1N965BTR is an extremely versatile single zener diode, suitable for use in a wide range of applications. Its low capacitance, high power and temperature ratings, low EMI, and RoHS compliance make it an ideal choice for voltage regulation, line protection, and circuit protection.
