2EZ200D5

The 2EZ200D5 diode, classified under the Single - Zener - Diodes category, is a versatile component which can be used in many application fields depending on its features and work principle.

It is a commonly used silicon zener diode, with a breakdown voltage of 5.тV, an average power dissipation of 200 mw, and its polarity denoted by the appearance of its cathode side being marked. This component has a total clamping voltage of 7.0 Volts, and a non-repetitive peak surge of 50 amps (at 8.3 milliseconds). Its bulk capacitance is measured at 4.5 pF.

The primary purpose of the 2EZ200D5 diode is to protect circuits from excessive voltage, thereby preventing overheating and other potential damage. It is also a very effective device for regulating current flow, and provides some protection from surges and transients in the associated circuit. These functions are made possible with the particular working principle of the component.

When a suitable reverse voltage is applied to the diode, electrons are attracted to the positively charged plate, and current then flows through the diode in the forward direction. As the voltage increases, the diode begins to conduct more current. Once the breakdown voltage is exceeded, the diode conducts current almost freely until the current reaches the maximum allowable limit. This breakdown voltage can typically range from several volts up to thousands of volts depending on the application.

In addition to its use for current regulation and protection against excessive voltage, the 2EZ200D5 diode can also be used for signal clamping, waveform shaping, and voltage monitoring. Depending on the application, the diode can be used to limit the amplitude of a waveform, effectively determining the peak and minimum of a waveform. It also can be employed for voltage monitoring, in situations where it is necessary to ensure that the supply voltage or signal does not exceed a certain threshold.

The 2EZ200D5 diode is a highly versatile component which can be used in a wide range of applications. Its comprehensive features and working principle make it ideal for use in current regulation and voltage protection, signal clamping and waveform shaping, and other related functions.
