Diodes - Zener - Single

The 1PMT5932AE3/TR7 is a Zener diode created for applications where a surge suppressor is needed to protect delicate electronics. It is small and capable of dissipating up to 0.25 W of power. The 1PMT5932AE3/TR7 provides an unidirectional breakdown voltage of 4.7 V at 5 mA, ensuring that the peak current through the diode won\'t exceed the specified maximum. This diode is suitable for a wide range of tasks, including protecting the power supplies of computers, telecom equipment, industrial electronics, and automotive systems from destructive electrical induced transients.

Working Principle

In general, a Zener diode works by regulating the voltage across a load. This is done by allowing current to flow through the diode in one direction when it is forward biased and zener breakdown in the opposite direction. This process occurs when the applied voltage is below the breakdown voltage, the diode will only allow current to pass in one direction through the diode and not the other. When the current passes in the opposite direction and the voltage increases to the breakdown voltage or higher, the diode will allow current to pass in either direction and keep the voltage to the breakdown voltage. This feature of the diode makes it ideal for use in situations where precise voltage regulation is needed.

Application Field

The 1PMT5932AE3/TR7 Zener diode is able to provide reliable circuit protection in a number of different applications. It is designed to operate in most environments, including automotive applications where the alternator and starter can cause electrical transients when the battery is reconnected. It can also be used in telecom, industrial and test and measurement equipment, providing protection from high voltages and other electrical abnormalities. Due to its small size and low power dissipation, the 1PMT5932AE3/TR7 is well suited to being placed directly onto the circuit board. This eliminates the need for extra space and adds convenience to the assembly process.

Conclusion

The 1PMT5932AE3/TR7 Zener diode is a small but versatile component offering robust circuit protection for a variety of applications. Its stable and reliable design ensures that peak currents and voltages won\'t exceed the specified maximum. As such, it can be used in telecommunications, industrial, automotive and other applications where a surge suppressor is needed. Thanks to its small size, it can be discreetly embedded into circuit boards, which simplifies the assembly process. Overall, the 1PMT5932AE3/TR7 provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for voltage regulation.
