2EZ18D5-TP

Diodes are electrical components that allow electric current to flow in one direction and block it the opposite way. Zener diodes have a reversed breakdown voltage, which means they allow reverse current when the voltage reaches a certain value. The 2EZ18D5-TP is a type of single component Zener diode. It is mainly used for voltage limiting, protection from transients, and many other applications.

The 2EZ18D5-TP is created with a silicon planar construction, which is a patented structure allowing the device to remain reliable and rugged even at high dissipation levels. The diode body is made with a special material that can withstand mechanical stress and other external influences for a long period of time, making this component an ideal choice for industrial applications where extreme conditions are present. Other features of this component include a low forward voltage drop and a high peak current surge.

The working principle of the 2EZ18D5-TP is relatively simple. When the cathode of the diode is at a higher voltage than the anode, a forward current is allowed to pass through the component. However, when the anode is at a higher voltage than the cathode, the component blocks any further current. The reverse breakdown voltage is set at 5 volts, meaning that if the voltage between the anode and cathode reaches 5 volts or higher, the component will allow current to pass in the opposite direction.

As mentioned above, the 2EZ18D5-TP has a wide range of applications. It is mainly used for protection from transients and for limiting the peak voltage of power supply lines. It is also used for voltage regulation, current regulation, over-voltage protection, high voltage rectification, and more. Additionally, this component can be used for digital logic and switching applications, as it can quickly transition from low to high impedance.

In conclusion, the 2EZ18D5-TP is a single component Zener diode with a variety of uses. It is made with a silicon planar construction, making it highly reliable in extreme conditions. Its reverse breakdown voltage is set at 5 volts, and it can quickly transition from low to high impedance. This component is ideal for applications such as protection from transients, voltage regulation, and more.
