1PMT4128C/TR13

Diodes - Zener - Single

Diodes are an essential component of many electrical and electronic systems. They are used to control the flow of an electric current in an efficient manner and can also be used to provide protection from over current, voltage and temperature. The 1PMT4128C/TR13 is a single-diode Zener diode that is widely used in applications requiring peak or hold current protection, such as motor control, power supply and charging circuits. This diode, in particular, operates with a maximum voltage rating of 40 volts and a peak power dissipation of 70 millions of watt (mW).

This Zener diode has a wide range of applications and is suitable for use in many different systems across a variety of industries. Some of these applications include automotive, telecommunications, industrial and consumer electronics, instrumentation, and power supplies. It can also be used to protect against over current and reverse current in power supply applications, and temperature and voltage spikes in control circuits. In addition, this diode is also suitable for use in noise and interference suppression.

The working principle of this Zener diode is relatively simple. This diode is designed to conduct an electric current in one direction only, and in the reverse direction, it will act as an open circuit. When there is an applied voltage on the Anode side, it will forward bias the diode and the current will flow from the Anode to the Cathode, allowing the diode to reach its breakdown voltage. Once the breakdown voltage is reached, an avalanche breakdown occurs at this voltage and electron-hole pairs will then be generated, allowing a large current flow through the diode. This avalanche breakdown effect also allows for a de-bias of the diode, which will then protect against over voltage and reverse current.

In summary, the 1PMT4128C/TR13 is a single-diode Zener diode that has a wide range of applications in many different industries. It is designed to provide peak or hold current protection and offers protection from over current, reverse current, temperature and voltage. Furthermore, its working principle is relatively simple and makes it suitable for use in noise and interference suppression.
