It is intended for use in modules, ASICs, and discrete applications. This diode has a 0.35A rated power and a 1.3 forward voltage drop in order to provide low-cost, high-reliability operation.

The 3EZ24D2E3/TR12 allows for a maximum dissipation of 1W and provides accurate and stable zener voltage characteristics. This diode is available in both through-hole and surface mount versions, providing easy installation while achieving reliable dipping performance. It is also reverse voltage protected, and its integrated components are designed to withstand high temperature variances.

The working principle of the 3EZ24D2E3/TR12 is based on the characteristic operation of a zener diode. A zener diode is a diode that allows current to flow in one direction (forward) when connected in an electrical circuit. When the Zener diode is forward biased beyond a specific reverse breakdown voltage, it begins to conduct current in both directions. This is called the breakdown voltage, and is determined by the doping level in the diode. As the voltage increases above the breakdown voltage, the current passing through the diode increases. This is the "zener effect", and it allows the diode to regulate a precise voltage in the circuit.

The 3EZ24D2E3/TR12 is generally used for protection, and to provide precision regulation of small load currents. In general, it is used to limit voltage transients, increase circuit reliability and accuracy, reduce device power dissipation, and extend device life. This diode is especially useful in applications such as supply connections that require a constant current over a wide range of temperatures and line voltages. It may also be used in DC-DC converters, voltage switching power supplies, and many other applications that require voltage or current regulation.

The 3EZ24D2E3/TR12 is a reliable, cost effective Zener diode that can be used for a variety of voltage or current regulation applications. Its design is optimized to withstand temperatures up to 150°C, and provides accurate and stable zener voltage characteristics. This diode is also suitable for use in ASICs and discrete applications.
