2EZ180D5/TR8

When considering the application fields and working principle of the 2EZ180D5/TR8, one must look to the general purpose of the device, which is a single Zener diode. It is a diode that is specifically designed to work as a voltage regulator or a clamping device. The Zener diode is typically used to provide a voltage reference or to protect vulnerable circuits from overvoltages.

A diode is the simplest type of semiconductor device and is created by putting two different layers of semiconductor material together. One of the layers is made of either an N type material, which has an excess of electrons, or a P type material which has an excess of holes. These two joined layers together then create a junction between the N type and the P type material. This junction can conduct current when a voltage is applied and when the voltage across the diode exceeds a certain level, the diode will stop conducting current. This is known as the dynamic resistance of the diode.

A Zener diode, in this case a 2EZ180D5/TR8, is a type of diode that is specifically designed to operate in reverse bias mode and has a very low dynamic resistance when under reverse voltage. In reverse bias mode, the depletion layer in the diode does not contain enough carriers to conduct current, so the Zenner diode will act as a voltage clamp, restricting the power source from sending excess voltage to the circuit. This will allow the circuit to remain safe from overvoltages.

The 2EZ180D5/TR8 single Zener diode has a voltage rating of 180V and a power dissipation rating of 5W. It has an operating temperature range of -65⁰C to 150⁰C and a maximum junction temperature of 150⁰C. The peak reverse current of the diode is 11mA and the reverse recovery time is 10ns. The diode is housed in a TO-220 5-pin package and is designed to provide protection in general purpose AC applications and DC circuits.

The 2EZ180D5/TR8 single Zener diode is a versatile device that can be used for a variety of different applications. It can be used as a voltage regulator or to provide protection from overvoltages. The diode is able to provide a very low dynamic resistance when in reverse bias mode and can be used to maintain a steady voltage in the circuit. In addition, the device can handle high power dissipation and still provide stable and reliable results. This makes the diode a great choice for power supplies, switching power supply, P.C. board application, and high voltage circuits.

Overall, the 2EZ180D5/TR8 single Zener diode is a great choice for AC and DC circuits as a voltage regulator or for high voltage protection. With a wide operating temperature range, low dynamic resistance, and high power dissipation capability, the device is well suited for a variety of different applications.
