2EZ12D2E3/TR12

The 2EZ12D2E3/TR12 diode–zener–single is designed for applications such as voltage clamping, voltage regulation, voltage division, and rectification. This type of diode is constructed using n-type material for the p–n junction, making it well suited for low current applications due to its low impedance. Designed to operate in a forward bias orientation, the 2EZ12D2E3/TR12 diode offers effective voltage regulation and has a wide operating temperature range (from -65 °C to +125 °C).

The working principle of the 2EZ12D2E3/TR12 diode is based on the fact that when in forward bias, electrons injected into the p–n junction move away from the junction. This causes an electric field to be established around the connection, strengthening the junction and permitting only a controlled current to pass through. In reverse bias, the electrons move towards the junction, causing the electric field to weaken and the current to be prevented from passing.

When used as a voltage clamping component, the 2EZ12D2E3/TR12 diode can be employed to control the peak value of a variable voltage by maintaining a predetermined breakdown voltage at the p–n junction. Similarly, when used as a voltage regulation component, the diode can be employed to provide a pre-determined voltage drop across the component, allowing only the voltage above the drop to pass onto the following component, thus providing a regulated voltage.

The 2EZ12D2E3/TR12 diode can also be used as a voltage division component, allowing for a pre-set voltage division to be achieved using a single component. When used for rectification, the 2EZ12D2E3/TR12 diode allows for an AC voltage to be converted to a DC voltage by only allowing current to flow in one direction and blocking current flow in the opposite direction.

In summary, the 2EZ12D2E3/TR12 diode–zener–single component is designed for low current applications, offering effective voltage regulation and voltage division, with the ability to provide voltage clamping and rectification. Its wide operating temperature range makes it ideal for use in a variety of applications.
