In practical use, this device requires a junction temperature of 125℃ and tolerates an operating temperature range of -55℃ to +150℃. The diode is epoxy molded in propylene plastic between 1.6mm and 2.0mm, which makes it highly resistant to mechanical shock, moisture, heat and pressure.

2EZ16D5E3/TR8 single Zener diode is primarily used in rectifiers, voltage regulation, and surge suppression in different kinds of electronic systems. Additionally, this device is also applied to protect sensitive equipment from high-voltage and static discharge. 2EZ16D5E3/TR8 device is applicable for use in the majority of digital circuits like microcomputers, circuit control, power switching, and signal control.

The operation of 2EZ16D5E3/TR8 diode is based on the principle of reverse breakdown, in which a diode is forward biased at constant voltage and current. When the voltage across the diode reaches a certain threshold level, it starts to conduct current in the backward direction; and this condition is considered as a reverse breakdown. The Zener diode, 2EZ16D5E3/TR8 is designed for this purpose; at this reverse breakdown voltage, current is allowed to flow from the Cathode to Anode in the form of electrons, instead of from Anode to Cathode like every other diode. Therefore, the 2EZ16D5E3/TR8 diode is responsible for regulating and controlling the voltage, which further prevents the equipments from overvoltage or transients.

2EZ16D5E3/TR8 Zener diode is an excellent choice for a variety of applications in the field of electronics, due to its features like maximum surge current, epoxy molding and temperature tolerance. This single diode also offers effective voltage regulation, which makes it suitable for a vast range of usages in protecting sensitive equipment.
