2EZ4.3DE3/TR12

A diode is an electrical component that allows current to flow in only one direction. It’s one of the most basic elements used in electronic circuits, and there are many types of diodes with different characteristics. The 2EZ4.3DE3/TR12 is a type of diode specifically known as a Zener diode. It is usually used to provide a stable reference voltage and is a single, low power, voltage regulator.

The 2EZ4.3DE3/TR12 is a single, 3.3 Volts Zener diode with a power rating of 500 milliwatts. It is most commonly used in portable electronics such as laptops, smartphones, tablets and MP3 players, as well as low voltage power supplies and linear regulators. It can also be used in circuit protection applications such as reverse voltage, over-voltage and noise suppression.

The 2EZ4.3DE3/TR12 has two basic operating principles which define the way it functions. The first is Zener regulation, which is the process of controlling the voltage in a circuit. In Zener regulation, the Zener diode is connected in reverse bias, allowing it to act as a voltage reference. If the voltage in the circuit rises above the Zener voltage, the diode will conduct, allowing current to pass and dissipating the excess voltage.

The other operating principle is avalanche effect. This is the process by which the diode will break down and conduct when the voltage across it is greater than its breakdown voltage. This breakdown process can occur very quickly and with very low power dissipation, making it useful for circuit protection.

The 2EZ4.3DE3/TR12 tackles a wide range of applications within the fields of portable electronics and circuit protection. How it works is based on basic principles of diodes which have been around for decades. The added voltage and power stability it provides is essential in any electronics application where precision and efficiency is required.
