3EZ75D2/TR8 Package and Construction

The 3EZ75D2/TR8 diode is a DIL or flat lead Zener diode with a minimum breakdown voltage of 75V. It features a low leakage current rating of 1 µA and a total maximum power dissipation rating of 200mW. The diode measures 0.454 inches by 0.430 inches and is compatible with both automated soldering and manual assembly. This diode is constructed with an opaque epoxy package containing a single Zener diode with a unique internal design.

Working Principle

A Zener diode is an example of a breakdown diode. It is designed with a heavily doped p-n junction specifically designed to breakdown when a voltage higher than its rated voltage is applied. When reverse biased, the device limits the amount of current that can flow across it. The diode clamps the reverse current to the regulated value set by its breakdown voltage. In the case of the 3EZ75D2/TR8 Zener diode, this voltage is 75V.

The 3EZ75D2/TR8 Zener diode features a unique internal construction that allows it to deliver highly accurate voltage regulation. The unique construction ensures that the breakdown point of the diode is consistent and uniform, thus allowing for precise voltage regulation. In addition, the diode features a low leakage current which ensures that current does not leak through the diode in situations where the voltage is below its specified breakdown voltage.

Applications

The 3EZ75D2/TR8 Zener diode can be used in a wide range of applications. These include protecting electrical circuits from overvoltage, powering specialized devices, and transforming AC to DC power. It is also used in LEDs and other light-emitting devices to regulate their intensity.

The diode can also be used for voltage spike protection for devices such as computers, TVs, and other electronics. In such cases, the diode helps protect electronic components from sudden increases in voltage. It may also be used for voltage noise protection, where it absorbs transients or spikes before they cause damage. Other applications include voltage regulation, current regulation, and frequency regulation.

Conclusion

The 3EZ75D2/TR8 Zener diode is a single Zener diode designed to provide precise voltage regulation in electronics applications. Its special internal construction ensures that it delivers consistent and uniform breakdown point. It can be used for various applications, including voltage spike protection, voltage noise protection, LED intensity control, and frequency regulation.
