2M170Z A0G Diodes - Zener - Single Application Field and Working Principle

The 2M170Z A0G is a single type Zener diode specifically designed and developed for quick, efficient and reliable control of current flow. It is usually used a shunt voltage regulator to protect circuits from over voltage surge. It can regulate a 20 V voltage to a lower voltage of 18.5 V, for improved protection and stability of your circuits.

The 2M170Z A0G is a single type Zener diode with a reverse breakdown voltage (BV) of 17.2V. This unit features a working voltage of 180V, a power dissipation of 0.4W, a capacitance of 16mF and a current rating of 200mA. It has a thermal resistance of 6K/W, which means it can dissipate heat effectively and ensure proper operation at higher temperatures.

The 2M170Z A0G application field includes holding, controlling, and setting the supply voltage level in electronic systems. In addition, it can also be used to protect electronic devices from overvoltages and/or transients, and as a voltage-setting clamp. Because of its low zener voltage and low dissipation capability, this diode is also suitable for battery protection, especially in sensitive circuits that rely on precision protection.

The 2M170Z A0G is a unidirectional diode, meaning it can only allow current to pass through it in one direction. It can also be used to prevent current from entering one side to the other. The working principle of the Zener diode is based on the Zener breakdown that occurs when the reverse voltage is greater than the Zener breakdown voltage. When the reverse voltages increases, the current through the diode increases, which reduces the forward voltage of the diode.

When the voltage across the diode is reversed, the diode will act as a perfect electrical insulator and no current flows. When the voltage across the diode increases to a point close to the breakdown voltage, the diode breaks down and the current starts to flow.

The Zener breakdown phenomenon is based on the fact that a free electron absorbs energy from an external electric field. When the electric field is large enough, electrons become sufficiently energetic to start to move from the cathode to the anode, resulting in a flow of current. This current is the opposite of that normally flowing through a diode in the forward direction.

In addition to being used as a voltage regulator, the 2M170Z A0G can also be used as a temperature sensor or as a relay. It is also used in other applications such as protection circuits, logic circuits and noise suppression. It is available in a wide range of packages and is suitable for a wide range of operating temperature ranges.

The 2M170Z A0G is a reliable, efficient and easy to use Zener diode that can protect your electronic devices and systems from overvoltages and transients. Its unique design and low dissipation characteristics make it ideal for use in high-voltage sensitive and sensitive circuits. The Zener breakdown ensures that the device remains stable and reliable over a wide range of temperatures and voltages.
