2EZ14D2/TR8

Diodes - Zener - Single

A 2EZ14D2/TR8 refers to a single zener diode. It is a semiconductor device with a reverse breakdown voltage, or Zener voltage, whereby current increases exponentially with a given voltage across its terminals in the range of 5.1V-6.2V. This diode is also capable of conducting in both directions (anode-to-cathode, or cathode-to-anode), emitting very low voltage.

The 2EZ14D2/TR8 is useful for a number of applications, including the stabilization of voltages in electronic circuits, the generation of reference volts, and power supplies. It consists of semiconductor materials, such as Zinc Selenide, Silicon Carbide and Silicon. The Zener diode is particularly useful in radio components, circuit protection, and as clipper circuits.

The working principle of the 2EZ14D2/TR8 involves the introduction of a reverse-biased voltage across the area semiconductor junction, usually referred to as the PN junction. This PN junction acts as a barrier between the two materials, and this gives the device its ability to functions as a diode. If a positive voltage is applied to the diode, the current flow is restricted, however when a negative voltage is applied, the diode acts as a short circuit.

When placed in a proper circuit configuration such as a Zener regulator, the 2EZ14D2/TR8 can be triggered to emit a constant voltage. This voltage is established by the current flow in the PN junction, and the exact voltage depends upon the characteristics of the diode. The device also has a variable reverse breakdown voltage when different amounts of current are applied to the junction used.

To conclude, the 2EZ14D2/TR8 is a single zener diode which finds its main applications in electronic components and circuit protection. Its working is based upon the PN junction and its ability to limit the voltage emitted from it. The device is very useful for stabilizing the voltage in electronic circuits, generating reference voltage, and for clipper and protection circuits.
