Diodes - Zener - Single
The 1PMT5916BE3/TR13 is a single Zener diode device created for various commercial applications, as well as a variety of industrial and medical uses. Zener diodes have been around for quite some time and have been utilized as clippers, peak detectors, or various other methods of controlling the amount of electrical current to a component or device. This particular diode contains several features that make it suitable for these applications.
Application Field
This device is designed for use in situations requiring a low voltage of 24Vdc through 15Vdc. It is a common component in motor controllers, power supplies, and other electrical devices. It can also be utilized in diverse fields such as computer networking, telecoms, audio/video systems, over-the-air data transmission, displays, and measuring instruments. It is also most commonly used as a series regulator, reverse protection, and other applications involving low voltage control.
Working Principle
The 1PMT5916BE3/TR13 is a single Zener diode which works on the principle that a diode is capable of allowing or blocking current depending upon its configuration. This diode, as opposed to a standard non-Zener diode, is designed in such a way that it provides a more specific threshold for current flow. This particular device is designed for current control at voltage levels between 24Vdc and 15Vdc. Any current attempting to move through the device above this voltage threshold will be blocked, or “clamped.” When the current meets or exceeds this threshold, the diode will allow electricity to move through it. These devices are also used to maintain voltage across multiple parallel circuits.
Conclusion
The 1PMT5916BE3/TR13 is a single Zener diode device which is used for a variety of applications, including motor controllers, power supplies, and other electrical devices. Capable of handling currents between 24Vdc and 15Vdc, it is an ideal component for a variety of electrical applications. Its efficient design makes it quite useful for preventing circuit and component damage, as well as regulating voltage across multiple circuits.
