2M36Z B0G

Diodes - Zener - Single

A 2M36Z B0G is a single zener diode typically employed for voltage regulation, clipping, and protection applications.  It is capable of handling high currents of up to 7.5 amperes, making it a suitable choice for providing power to circuits that draw heavy loads.  The maximum breakdown voltage for this diode is 36 volts.

Application Field

A 2M36Z B0G diode is usually employed in the area of power management, particularly when a low-voltage, high-current power source is required.  Common applications include the use of the diode in voltage-regulation circuits, such as the power supplies used in computers, or to provide overvoltage protection, or to create rectangular or clipped waveforms in order to filter or shape an input signal.  It can also be used to provide an impedance matching network, allowing a power source to be connected to a load.

Working Principle

A 2M36Z B0G diode works on the principle of zener breakdown, which is a type of reverse breakdown in which the voltage-current curve dips sharply with the increase in voltage.  When the applied voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage, the current through the diode sharply increases, causing a reduction in the total voltage across the diode.  This low voltage is then used to regulate the output voltage in a power circuit.

The 2M36Z B0G diode is a rugged piece of equipment and can handle high currents of up to 7.5 amperes, making it a suitable choice for providing power to circuits that draw heavy loads.  It can also be used to regulate the output of a power circuit, allowing the user to get the desired voltage.  As such, it is a highly versatile component that can be used in a variety of applications.
