2EZ160D5E3/TR12 Application Field and Working Principle

The 2EZ160D5E3/TR12 diode is a single, Zener-type diode. It is a rugged, low-power silicon device typically used in various types of applications and circuits. This device is designed to protect sensitive electrical components and/or circuits against excessive input voltages, and can be used in various circuit boards, such as AC/DC converters.

The 2EZ160D5E3/TR12 diode measures between 0.13 A and 0.6 A, with a power factor at 48 VDC of 22.2 W and an average on-state voltage drop of 0.2 V. Its dynamic impedance at 7 VDC is 18 mOhms and its forward-voltage drop at 7 A is 1.4 V.

The 2EZ160D5E3/TR12\'s general operation is a two-terminal voltage regulator device. In this case, the anode acts as the input and the cathode acts as the output. When a voltage is applied across the terminals, the diode begins to conduct and hence the output voltage is regulated. This is because the leakage current is limited and the Zener breakdown voltage remains constant under normal electrical stress.

The 2EZ160D5E3/TR12 can be used in various applications and industries, such as in communication equipment, instrumentation systems, AC/DC power conversion, and PC boards. The device\'s ability to act as a voltage regulator in the presence of short-term voltage spikes makes it ideal for protecting sensitive components and circuits.

The working principle of the 2EZ160D5E3/TR12 involves a two-terminal voltage regulator device that regulates output voltage by limiting the leakage current and maintaining the Zener breakdown voltage. When a reverse-biased voltage is applied to the diode, the breakdown voltage is reached, allowing current to flow from the anode to the cathode, thus limiting the voltage to the Zener breakdown voltage. This ensures the component remains within its rated power dissipation even under high-voltage conditions.

The 2EZ160D5E3/TR12 is a robust and reliable electronic component for use in a variety of applications. Its robust design and ability to regulate voltages make it ideal for protecting sensitive components and circuits. It can be used in various industries, such as communications and AC/DC power conversion.
