3EZ190D2E3/TR8 Discrete Semiconductor Products

The 3EZ190D2E3/TR8 is a single 1N5231B Zener diode normally used for functional and general-purpose electronics applications. It is similar to the standard 1N5231B 5W Zener diode, except that its maximum power dissipation is lower, at 3W. The 3EZ190D2E3/TR8 is a reliable and cost-effective way to design and use a standard 5W Zener diode and is available in small-size packages for easy installation.

The 3EZ190D2E3/TR8 diode is a cost-effective solution for protecting sensitive electronic components, with a wide range of features including reverse voltage protection, reverse current blocking, and surge voltage limiting. The reverse current blocking feature allows the device to protect other components from damage by preventing the passage of large voltages and currents in the reverse direction. The surge voltage limiting prevents overvoltages from damaging the protected components. This is done by dissipating the surge voltage, as well as limiting the amount of energy that is present in the circuit.

The 3EZ190D2E3/TR8 diode is commonly used in functional and general-purpose electronic applications, including the protection of circuits and components against the effects of transient overvoltage and surges. For instance, it can be used in telephone lines and electronic circuits, as well as in microprocessors and data circuits. This makes it a versatile and cost-effective protective device, as it can be used to protect both static and dynamic electronic circuits. In addition, it can also be used in automotive and power switching applications.

Its working principle is based on the Zener effect, wherein the breakdown voltage of the diode is higher in the reverse direction compared to the forward direction. When a large reverse voltage is applied to the diode, a rapidly increasing electric current flows through it, followed by a rapid decrease. This so-called "Zener voltage," when combined with the reverse current blocking feature, blocks the reverse passage of large voltages and currents.

The 3EZ190D2E3/TR8 diode can also be used for other applications requiring Zener diode protection. Its small size makes it ideal for use as a connector when a standardized or traditional connector is not available. Its wide range of features makes it an excellent choice for use in a variety of electronic devices. Its high resistance to current in the reverse direction also makes it ideal for use in power switching applications, where it can protect the components of the circuit from overvoltage and surge damage.

The 3EZ190D2E3/TR8 diode is an efficient and cost-effective solution for Zener diode protection, in a wide range of functional and general-purpose electronics applications. With its small size and wide range of features, it is an ideal solution for protecting sensitive electronic components, as well as providing efficient power switching protection. It is a reliable and cost-effective way to design and use a standard 5W Zener diode, available in a small-size package for easy installation.
