The 2EZ160D2E3/TR8 diode, a single Zener diode, is primarily used as a voltage regulator in low- and medium-power applications. It is a P-N junction diode that is designed to operate when reverse-biased and with a reverse voltage that is higher than the normal break-down voltage.

The 2EZ160D2E3/TR8 diode has a breakdown voltage of 160V, and a maximum power rating of 0.5W. The diode also features a high thermal resistance of 170°C/W, high capacitance rating up to 1.5pF, and a low-noise, low-profile package design. The diode is also RoHS-compliant and meets the IEC 64-2 standards.

In its simplest form, the 2EZ160D2E3/TR8 diode acts as a one-way gate for a current to pass from anode to cathode. The diode is reverse biased; meaning that the anode is positively charged and the cathode is negative. Reverse bias creates a barrier for current to pass and causes the applied voltage to build until the specified breakdown voltage is reached. At this point, the diode is “saturated” and current is allowed to pass. Due to the diode’s low thermal resistance, power dissipation is kept at a minimum.

Common applications of the 2EZ160D2E3/TR8 diode include voltage clamping in power switching circuits, voltage regulation in auto-regulation circuits, and voltage control in DC-to-DC converters. In automotive applications, the diode is used to regulate battery charged currents and to prevent voltage spikes caused by high-power impulse currents.

The 2EZ160D2E3/TR8 diode is a versatile, reliable, and cost-effective single Zener diode well suited for various electrical applications. Its low-noise and low-profile package, high thermal resistance, and compliance with IEC 64-2 standards make this diode a perfect choice for low- and medium-power applications. It is also important to note that the diode must be properly rated for the application, and must be connected in reverse bias to take advantage of its Zener characteristics.
