3EZ24D5E3/TR8 Discrete Semiconductor Products

3EZ24D5E3/TR8 application field and working principle

The 3EZ24D5E3/TR8 is a type of Zener Diode, which is an electronics component that has positive and negative current-carrying terminals that are used to control the flow of electricity in the circuit. The 3EZ24D5E3/TR8 has a maximum reverse voltage of 24V and a maximum power dissipation of 5W. It is packaged in a SOD-323 package, with a breakdown voltage of 40 V.

This Zener Diode is widely used in power supply circuits, audio amplifiers, rheostats, and other electronic equipment. It is ideal for stabilizing voltage levels in circuits, as well as providing reliable protection against overvoltage and reverse currents. The 3EZ24D5E3/TR8 functions as a voltage regulator, by breaking down when the voltage exceeds its limit. It then begins to conduct current across its junction, allowing the excess current to pass through safely.

The Zener Diode allows current to flow in either direction, depending on the external voltage applied. When voltage is applied on the cathode (negative) side and reaches the breakdown voltage, the diode switches from high impedance to low impedance, allowing the current to flow. Conversely, the diode will remain open until the voltage is reduced to a safe level below the breakdown voltage. The 3EZ24D5E3/TR8 is useful for its ability to provide a constant voltage level by clamping the output of the circuit to a specific value.

The Zener Diode is also used in thermistor applications. It is used to limit the maximum current passing through the thermistor. The diode is connected in series with the thermistor and the other components of the circuit. It will turn on when the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage, and will allow the current to safely pass through, limiting the amount of heat generated by the thermistor.

The 3EZ24D5E3/TR8 is also used in LED lighting applications, for clamping of LED voltages, as well as in RF amplification where it is used to protect against reverse currents. Overall, the 3EZ24D5E3/TR8 is a versatile device, ideal for use in a variety of electronic and electrical applications where a convenient and reliable way to limit or control the flow of current is required.
