2EZ140D10/TR8

The 2EZ140D10/TR8 is a single Zener diode suitable for a variety of applications. This device is widely used in communications, automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics. The 2EZ140D10/TR8 is a three-terminal device with a maximum peak-forward current (at a given temperature) of 1.0 A.

The 2EZ140D10/TR8 is a low-power Zener diode developed for the purpose of providing protection against electrical noise, overvoltage and other common electrical disturbances. It has a maximum Vz breakdown voltage for an economical constructions. Its high ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) rating helps it protect against physical damage from static electricity. Its low profile and beveled lead make it suitable for multi-layer boards (MLBs), saving end-users time and money during assembly and soldering.

The 2EZ140D10/TR8’s working principle is relatively simple. When forward biased, the diode acts as a conduit, allowing electrons to freely flow through the central P-type semiconductor material. When reverse biased, the voltage applied to the diode is not enough to overcome the “built-in voltage” in the diode, at which point the diode will prevent electrons from passing through it. If a higher reverse voltage than Vz is applied, the diode will break down and act like a low-resistance, allowing a low current to pass through. This low current will then regulate the voltage to a level close to Vz.

The 2EZ140D10/TR8 is most commonly used for voltage regulation applications in automotive, computer, video and audio, and communications. In these applications, the 2EZ140D10/TR8 is connected in reverse bias to a load, and works to regulate the voltage coming from the power supply. This voltage regulation is critical for avoiding damage to sensitive electronic hardware. The diode can also help protect circuits against destructive, high-voltage transients, and prevent circuits from exceeding their operating voltage.

The 2EZ140D10/TR8 is an ideal choice for applications in which reliability, ESD protection, and high performance are required. For instance, the device can be used in automotive systems to ensure that a low and regulated voltage is maintained in order to protect the car’s electrical system. It can also be used in computers and other electronic devices to prevent the user’s system from being overloaded. The 2EZ140D10/TR8’s small size and low cost make it an optimal choice for a variety of applications.
