2EZ39D2E3/TR12

Diodes are the elements allowing current to flow in only one direction in an electrical circuit, thus providing several levels of protection on the circuit from current levels higher than a certain threshold. Zener diodes are a type of diodes which can be specially used to protect the circuit by regulating the voltage levels of the circuit, preventing them to go above a certain voltage. The 2EZ39D2E3/TR12 is a single Zener diode with a breakdown voltage of 12 volts.

The application field of the 2EZ39D2E3/TR12 ranges from manufacturers of electronic products, to designers and engineers, who work on the development of electronic circuits and need to protect the components of their circuit from potential damages. To this end, the 2EZ39D2E3/TR12 is suitable for use in power supplies, rectifiers, voltage regulators and signal clamping boards.

2EZ39D2E3/TR12 Zener diodes have a working principle which is, in simple words, that of a voltage limiter. When the voltage levels in the circuit reach 12 volts, the Zener diode restricts the current flow so that the voltage does not increase above this value. This is possible because the diode conducts the excess current and in doing so, converts it into heat.

This way, the 2EZ39D2E3/TR12 ensures the protection of the circuit, since voltage levels which are too high are responsible for extreme heat and potential damages in the microcomponents of the circuit. This type of single Zener diodes can also replace two or more regular diodes in applications which require the clipping of excessive current in the power supply part. In addition, the 2EZ39D2E3/TR12 is also suitable for usage in voltage multipliers, voltage clamping circuits and LED flashers, among other applications.

The 2EZ39D2E3/TR12 is a reliable and cost-efficient solution for both industrial and hobbyist fields, who need to protect their circuits from high voltage levels and who require an accurate and reliable regulation of the current levels. With a maximum total power dissipation of 200mW in 8-pin DO-213AA package and 500mW in the 8-pin Gullwing SMD package, the 2EZ39D2E3/TR12 has a maximum operating temperature at which it can feely operate of 125°C. Furthermore, the 2EZ39D2E3/TR12 is a RoHS compliant single Zener diode featuring a maximum rating of 500mW and an always constant Zener voltage of 12 volts.

All these features make the 2EZ39D2E3/TR12 the ideal choice for any application field which requires a reliable protection of the circuit components from excess current and voltage levels. The diode can be integrated into a wide range of electronic products, from medical and measuring equipment, to those used in the industrial or hobbyist field and its affordability adds to its attractiveness to the consumers.
