2EZ24D5/TR8

Diodes - Zener - Single

A 2EZ24D5/TR8 is an individual single zener diode. It is designed as an efficient silicon-based electronic component specifically used to regulate positive and negative voltage levels. The diode is made up of two main parts, a cathode, which is the negative part, and an anode, which is the positive part. It functions by introducing a predetermined level of conduction to the circuit, allowing the current to flow in one direction while limiting the current in any other direction. This is especially important to a variety of circuit applications as it enables them to maintain their desired voltage levels and also prevents circuit components from damage due to excessive voltage.

This type of diode is typically available in a variety of physical shapes and sizes. The 2EZ24D5/TR8 uses a DO-41-type case and has an axial lead for easier mounting. The diode has an maximum working current of 500mA, maximum power of 375mW, and is able to withstand a maximum reverse voltage of 24V. It also has an operating junction temperature of up to +125°C with a maximum thermal resistance of 250°C/W.

This type of diode is used in a variety of applications, both industrial and domestic. In the industrial sector, it is used to regulate the voltage levels in power circuits, communication systems, power converters, amplifiers, meters, and various automotive electronics, as well as its intended purpose, regulating switch-mode power supplies.

In the domestic market, it enables the regulation of voltage levels in various appliances such as TVs, computers, DVDs, and other electrical devices. It is also the main component used in modern solar panels and wind turbines to ensure that the voltage levels in the grid stay within a certain range.

The Zener diode works on the principle that when current is passed through it in a forward bias, it will allow current to remain in one direction with limited current coming in any other direction. This means that it will act as an insulator and serve to keep the voltage levels in the circuit at the same. In addition, when a reverse current is applied, it will saturate, meaning that the current will flow freely in both directions and the voltage is limited to a predetermined value.

The 2EZ24D5/TR8 is a reliable and efficient diode that can be used in a variety of different industrial and domestic applications. It offers the advantages of a significant reverse voltage tolerance, a wide temperature range and a low thermal resistance. Its ability to support up to 500mA working current and 375mW of power makes it a great choice for many different applications, both in the industrial and domestic sectors.
