Diodes - Zener - Single - 2EZ15D2/TR8 application field and working principle

The 2EZ15D2/TR8 is a single Zener diode product manufactured by Wurth Electronics Midcom. This diode product features a 20 V zener voltage break down and a 5.6 mW maximum power dissipation.

In general, Zener diodes are used in a variety of applications such as voltage regulation, electromechanical instrumentation, and overvoltage protection. In particular, this 2EZ15D2/TR8 product is especially suitable for portable device applications where a low voltage break down is required to ensure reliable operation. Furthermore, this diode product is available as a surface mount package with a maximum operating temperature of 150°C.

Working Principle

The working principle behind a Zener diode is based on a voltage- reversal mechanism. This allows the diode to operate in a “reverse bias” mode, meaning that the Zener diode will only conduct when the applied voltage is higher than its breakdown voltage. In this reverse bias mode, the diode behaves like a resistor, allowing a limited current to flow through it. This limited current is maintained until the breakdown voltage is achieved, at which point current flow is increased and a protective action is taken.

Once the breakdown voltage is exceeded, the diode quickly begins to reduce the flow of current, providing the desired regulating effect on the voltage and current of the circuit. This regulating effect is useful in applications that require a regulated voltage and current, and it is especially beneficial in cases where the input voltage may vary substantially.

Conclusion

The 2EZ15D2/TR8 from Wurth Electronics Midcom is a single Zener diode product with a 20 V zener voltage break down and a 5.6 mW maximum power dissipation. This diode product is suitable for portable device applications where a low voltage break down is required to ensure reliable operation, and it is available as a surface mount package with a maximum operating temperature of 150°C. The working principle behind this diode product is based on a voltage- reversal mechanism, whereby it can provide a regulated voltage and current level in cases where the input voltage may vary substantially.
