2EZ17D5

Diodes are vital components in electronics. They come in many varieties and serve a wide range of functions. A particular diode of note is the single-Zener Diode. This type of diode is represented by the 2EZ17D5 model. Its application field and working principles will be expounded upon in this article.

The single-Zener Diode, 2EZ17D5 model, can be used in a wide variety of applications. Since they are semiconductor devices, they are ideally suited for applications involving current regulation. The 2EZ17D5 is commonly used in circuitry requiring voltage stabilization, waveform clipping, waveform shaping, and noise suppression. Additionally, the diode can be used to construct reference circuits, to help ensure the reliability of the system. Moreover, the single-Zener Diode can also be employed in reverse-biased current-limiting applications.

As a semiconductor device, the single-Zener Diode consists of many semiconductor elements, such as a semiconductor junction, a cathode, and an anode. The junction possesses a voltage threshold level, known as the breakdown voltage. When the breakdown voltage is exceeded, a large current passes through the device and the voltage is thus regulated. In forward-biased applications, the diode behaves much like a standard diode, allowing current to pass through in the forward bias direction. When connected in reverse mode, however, the diode turns into a voltage regulator. In this condition, the voltage at the junction stabilizes at a steady value, and current passes through freely. The 2EZ17D5, in particular, has a breakdown voltage of 5V.

The 2EZ17D5 single-Zener Diode is also capable of withstanding quite wide range of power levels. Its power rating is 7.5 W, with a forward-biased voltage rating of 1kV, and reverse- biased voltage rating of 18V. The two pins of the device are embedded in an epoxy-molded plastic case. This case serves two functions. Firstly, it helps protect the diode from short-circuits, and secondly, it insulates the diode from external conditions. The diode is also capable of operating at a wide range of temperatures.

In conclusion, the single-Zener Diode 2EZ17D5 is a vital component in many applications, such as voltage stabilization, waveform clipping, waveform shaping, noise suppression, and reference circuit construction. Its ability to operate at wide range of power levels, as well as temperatures, make it suitable for use in a range of applications.
