3EZ24D2/TR8

The 3EZ24D2/TR8 is a type of single Zener diode, a special kind of diode which is widely used in various applications. It is used to maintain a constant voltage level and is widely used in protecting circuits against overvoltage and power supply line noise.

A Zener diode consists of a p-n junction that is reverse biased, meaning that the n-side is connected to the positive supply while the p-side is connected to the negative supply. In this reverse-biased state, the diode looks like an open circuit, meaning that current can not flow through it. However, when the reverse voltage applied to the diode gets too high (known as the Zener voltage) a reverse current starts to flow. This current is regulated by the Zener diode and is capable of keeping the voltage across the circuit constant, allowing the circuit to maintain a steady power supply.

The 3EZ24D2/TR8 is a popular choice of Zener diode because of its low leakage current of 1.6 µA, which is the amount of current that the diode can leak when it is in its reverse biased state. This small amount of current helps to ensure that the circuit is protected from overvoltage and power supply noise. The diode also has a power rating of 0.2 Watts, which is suitable for most applications.

The 3EZ24D2/TR8 is suitable for many different applications, ranging from power supplies to radio frequency circuits. It is also used in overvoltage protection circuits and in voltage regulator circuits. As a single Zener diode, it can be used with other diodes in a bridge circuit to regulate a higher voltage. This makes the 3EZ24D2/TR8 a versatile and reliable choice for powering circuits and protecting them from overvoltage.
