2M180ZHR0G

Reverse bias, a type of diode, is one of the most widely used types of active components. The diode itself is composed of a narrow region of semiconductor material between two aligned conductive layers. The two terminals, an anode and a cathode, are wired into an appropriate circuit, and the electrical current is then reversed in order to obtain a desired effect.

A diode is a two-terminal electronic device designed to rectify current in one direction and block current in the opposite direction. It is made up of two p-n junction diodes interconnected back to back, and typically used for AC to DC conversion (rectifying), voltage regulation or clamping and voltage switching applications. Diodes have many types and applications, and Zener diodes are one of them. Zener diodes are specially designed to take advantage of their characteristic reverse breakdown voltage.

2M180ZHR0G is a single Zener diode in 2-pin DO-214AA surface mounting package. It\'s designed specifically for general purpose applications. 2M180ZHR0G semiconductor diode is made of high-grade silicon material. Unlike switching diodes, Zener diodes conduct current in both directions. When the voltage across the Zener diode is greater than its Zener voltage, a Zener breakdown occurs and causes the diode to conduct in the reverse direction.

The 2M180ZHR0G Zener diode is particularly suitable for power management applications, linear voltage regulation and voltage clamping. It is widely used in DC-DC converters, battery chargers and monitors, power supplies, back up power supplies, mobile devices, industrial machines and electronic appliances. It\'s capable of providing high reliability and maximum efficiency in various electrical systems.

Apart from application purposes, the 2M180ZHR0G Zener diode also has its unique working principle. While diodes are generally used for rectifying AC signals, Zener diodes have an extra PN junction, allowing them to also conduct in reverse. Applying a reverse voltage across a diode that is greater than its breakdown voltage, known as its Zener voltage, will cause an avalanche breakdown, resulting in a small current flow that regulates the voltage across the diode. As such, the 2M180ZHR0G diode is designed to be used in reverse bias, and can produce a constant voltage output at the Zener breakdown voltage.

In conclusion, the 2M180ZHR0G Zener diode is a type of single diode in 2-pin DO-214AA surface mounting package and is designed specifically for general purpose applications. Its application fields include power management, linear voltage regulation and voltage clamping. It is also used in DC-DC converters and other electrical devices. The Zener diode works in reverse bias and its principle is that a certain voltage threshold, which is the Zener voltage, will cause current to flow through in order to produce a constant voltage output.
