2EZ20D5E3/TR12

Application Field

2EZ20D5E3/TR12 is a type of Zener diode which is widely used in various electronic applications. It is specially designed to provide stable and precise voltage in a wide range of temperatures, while being able to operate at a lower current input. This particular diode is useful in a wide range of applicaitons, such as providing precise voltage sources, voltage regulation, and current limiting in audio, video, and communication systems.

Working Principle

2EZ20D5E3/TR12 utilizes the principle of zener breakdown to provide a stable voltage source or to regulate current. In a normal circuit, the current flows from anode to cathode, and resistance is usually low for electron conduction across the diode. In the case of Zener diode, however, the diode manufacturers adjust the impurity levels of their semiconductor materials in purpose, so that, when the voltage reaches a certain threshold, the impedance of the diode suddenly drops, resulting in a fast and large rise of the current. This process is known as Zener breakdown, and the voltage at which the breakdown occurs is called the “Zener voltage”. This Zener voltage is highly predictable, and is adjustable by choosing the proper type and rating of the diode. By adjusting the Zener voltage of2EZ20D5E3/TR12 and having it monitored, the circuit can obtain a stable and regulated voltage source.

As for applications of current limiting, 2EZ20D5E3/TR12 is also capable of stopping excessive current from passing through the device. This can be achieved by connecting the diode in the reverse direction. When the voltage over the diode is sufficient, the diode still allows current to pass, but if the voltage gets too large, the diode will conduct in reverse direction and limit the leakage current, preventing damage of the components and the circuit.

In summary, 2EZ20D5E3/TR12 is a highly reliable and adjustable Zener diode, capable of a wide range of applications like providing voltage source, voltage regulation, and current limiting. This precision component can be used in a variety of electronic devices to ensure their proper operation in various conditions.
