2EZ15D10E3/TR12

The 2EZ15D10E3/TR12 is a single Zener diode component typically used in semiconductor applications. A Zener diode is a type of diode that has been specially designed to have a very low breakdown voltage level.

Application Field

The 2EZ15D10E3/TR12 has a wide range of applications in the semiconductor industry. It is designed to prevent excessive current from flowing through a circuit, protecting the components from damage due to excess energy. The component is also used for voltage regulation, as it allows for a steady voltage level to be maintained across a circuit.

They are often used in devices that require low voltage and high current, such as AC adapters and computer motherboards, and in circuits that include high-speed switching components, such as in motor drives. They also play an important role in providing protection to important components such as LEDs and diodes.

Working Principle

The basic principle of operation for the 2EZ15D10E3/TR12 is relatively straightforward. The component has two electrodes; the cathode and the anode. The anode is connected to the positive voltage source, whereas the cathode is connected to the negative line. When a positive voltage is applied across the diode, the diode will allow current to flow in the forward direction, from the anode to the cathode.

Once the voltage across the diode reaches the Zener breakdown voltage level, the diode will enter a breakdown mode, allowing current to flow in the reverse direction. This allows the diode to act as a voltage regulator, as the voltage across the circuit will remain constant, while the current will be reduced.

The 2EZ15D10E3/TR12 has a reverse leakage current of 5 mA, and a Zener voltage of 15V, which makes it a versatile component for a variety of applications, ranging from AC/DC power supply regulation, to data line protection and medical devices.
