Diodes are electronic components that allow electricity to flow in one direction only, making them one of the most widely used components in electronic circuits. A Zener diode is a type of diode that is specifically designed to allow current to flow in the reverse direction when the voltage across the diode reaches a certain value. A single Zener diode, such as the 3EZ11DE3/TR8, is a single component that has all the necessary characteristics of a Zener diode, such as a reverse breakdown voltage, breakdown current, and a maximum power rating.

Application Field

The 3EZ11DE3/TR8 diode is primarily used in voltage regulation applications, particularly where space and cost are a factor. It is often used in conjunction with an input voltage source and current limiting resistor, which work together to limit the current that can pass through the diode while still allowing the diode to regulate the current. The diode can also be used in AC current applications, as its reverse breakdown voltage level is unaffected by frequency changes. Additionally, it can be used as a transient voltage suppressor, to protect sensitive electronics from voltage spikes.

Working Principle

The reverse breakdown voltage of a Zener diode is the voltage at which the diode begins to allow current to flow in the reverse direction. This is known as the Zener breakdown voltage. The 3EZ11DE3/TR8 diode has a rated breakdown voltage of 3.6 volts, which is the voltage at which it begins to allow current to flow in the reverse direction. The breakdown current is the amount of current that can flow through the diode when the voltage is at the breakdown voltage. The 3EZ11DE3/TR8 diode has a maximum breakdown current of 11 mA. This is the maximum amount of current that can flow through the diode without damaging it. The power rating is the maximum amount of power that can be applied to the diode without damaging it. The 3EZ11DE3/TR8 diode has a maximum power rating of 7.2 watts. This means that if the current and voltage across the diode exceed the maximum breakdown current and voltage, respectively, then the diode will be damaged.

Conclusion

The 3EZ11DE3/TR8 single Zener diode is an ideal choice for voltage regulation applications, as it is small, cost effective, and is suitable for AC current applications. It has a reverse breakdown voltage of 3.6 volts, a maximum breakdown current of 11 mA, and a maximum power rating of 7.2 watts. It is an invaluable component in protecting sensitive electronics from voltage spikes and ensuring current is kept within safe levels.
