2EZ6.8D5/TR12

The 2EZ6.8D5/TR12 is a single Zener diode. It is a type of semiconductor component that acts to limit the voltage that either passes through it or can be applied to it. It is placed in series with a voltage source in order to protect sensitive circuitry from overvoltage and other potential issues due to high-voltage transients.

Application Field and Working Principle

The 2EZ6.8D5/TR12 is used in electronic circuits to provide protection against overvoltage. It can also be used prevent harmful interference from external sources such as lightning strikes or power line surges. It is used for various purposes such as protection for microprocessors, voltage stabilization, current regulation, and more. It is also commonly used in commercial, military and medical applications.

A Zener diode operates based on the reverse breakdown voltage that occurs when the applied voltage is higher than the specified breakdown voltage. In the 2EZ6.8D5/TR12, once the reverse breakdown voltage is reached, a large current begins to flow. This current will become constant as long as the applied voltage remains above the specified breakdown voltage and will be limited if the voltage rises or falls. The maximum reverse current that can flow through a Zener diode is determined by its power rating.

The 2EZ6.8D5/TR12 is rated at 680 mW with a breakdown voltage of 12 V. This means that The maximum current that can be passed through it is 57.6 mA with minimum reverse leakage current of 200 nA. The device is capable of providing stable and precise voltage regulation, making it suitable for use in applications that rely on accurate voltage regulation.

The 2EZ6.8D5/TR12 is also designed with low at-temperature diode capacitance and low deterioration rate. These features extend the working lifespan of the device as well as improve its overall performance. In addition, the device is also rated for surge and ESD protection, making it suitable for use in applications such as industrial control systems and consumer electronics.

In summary, the 2EZ6.8D5/TR12 is a single Zener diode with a breakdown voltage of 12 V, a power rating of 680 mW, and a maximum allowable current of 57.6 mA. It is designed to provide reliable and precise voltage regulation, as well as protection against overvoltage and interference. It is suitable for use in a wide range of applications such as industrial control systems, consumer electronics, microprocessors, and more.
