2EZ13D5/TR8

The 2EZ13D5/TR8 is a low power Zener diode which falls into Zener diode\'s single category. This diode features a power dissipation of 500 mW, a maximum operating temperature of 150 degree Celsius and a breakdown voltage of 6.8V with a tolerance of +/- 5%.

The diode is manufactured using a solid state process on high quality silicon wafers. The wafers are polished and prepared with dielectric layers between the two conducting areas, which enhances its long life and reliability. The diode construction is based on a high-temperature alloy-zinc-oxide (AZO) bridge that is formed between the two conducting areas, preventing the current from escaping into the atmosphere.

The diode can be used in a wide range of applications due to its low power consumption and high breakdown voltage. It can be used as a voltage regulator for controlling voltage levels in a circuit, for in-circuit protection; over current protection; and noise reduction to eliminate interference from devices and signals. It is also commonly used for in-circuit protection devices such as TVS, MOV, transient suppressors, and other protection circuits. Additionally, it can be used as a voltage dropper in applications such as automotive, telecommunication, computers and power supplies.

The working principle of this diode is based on the PN junction formed between the two conducting areas. As voltage increases on the PN junction, electrons are injected into the conduction band of the junction. This eventually causes the breakdown of the Zener diode, thus regulating the voltage level to match the breakdown voltage. The reverse breakdown voltage is determined by the characteristics of the diode and the external circuit parameters.

Overall, the 2EZ13D5/TR8 is a reliable, low power Zener diode which can be used for a wide range of applications. It is a single-diode with a maximum power dissipation of 500mW, breakdown voltage of 6.8V and operating temperature up to 165°C. The diode is highly robust and efficient, making it suitable for a variety of applications, from controlling voltage levels in a circuit to noise reduction.
