1PMT4117/TR13

The 1PMT4117/TR13 is a Zener diode specifically designed for uses in voltage regulation. It is a 3-pin package, with a total of 1.5 amps current through its maximum power rating. It features a reverse breakdown voltage of 13 volts, making it suitable for applications requiring low direct current (DC) voltage regulation.

Zener diodes are nothing more than standard rectifiers that work by using a junction field-effect. This type of diode, which transmits electrical current in only one direction, possesses a PN junction that is designed to break down when a certain voltage level is reached. When this occurs, the diode conducts electricity, making it possible for it to serve as a regulator for any number of devices.

As with all Zener diodes, the 1PMT4117/TR13 Zener diode works by what is known as "ruggedizing" the voltage. At the point where the breakdown voltage is reached, the current begins to flow in the reverse direction, forming a regulatingeffect on the flow of power. The diode, due to its rugged nature, is able to prevent any damage to the circuit caused by sudden increases in voltage. The device also protects the circuit from any further voltage increase beyond the designed level, or the breakdown voltage point.

The 1PMT4117/TR13 is ideal for applications involving small direct current (DC) circuits, such as low voltage applications. The device can be used in a variety of circuits, ranging from automotive systems to simple industrial circuits. It is particularly helpful in applications that require both low levels of voltage regulation and a degree of ruggedness.

In addition, the 1PMT4117/TR13 is an exceptionally cost-effective solution for small direct current (DC) voltage regulation. This is why it is often chosen for smaller-scale applications. The device\'s tendency to prevent any damage to a circuit due to sudden increases in voltage also makes it a popular choice in certain industries. It is not only safe, but also reliable and durable.

The 1PMT4117/TR13 is also available in different package sizes, including DIP and SMD. This allows for a variety of options to choose from when it comes to the size and shape of the device. The 3-pin package offers a more manageable design, which makes it a practical solution for a range of applications.

All in all, the 1PMT4117/TR13 is a highly reliable and cost-effective choice for any application that requires a steady level of voltage regulation. Its rugged design helps ensure that the circuit remains safe in the event of a sudden increase in voltage. It is also available in a range of package sizes, allowing for maximum flexibility in choosing the most suitable option for a particular application.
