Diodes - Zener - Single and 3EZ8.2D10E3 / TR12

Diodes, Zener Diodes, Single indicates that the device is in a discrete form and can be used for various applications and operate with a zener effect. 3EZ8.2D10E3 / TR12 is an example device for such application field.

Application field

3EZ8.2D10E3 / TR12 is suitable for use in general purpose frequency control circuits applied in television and radio communication technology, automotive electronics and instrumentation. It can also be used in any other applications where a high-current rectifying or detecting diode is required.

Working Principle

The Zener diode is an electronic component that acts as a voltage regulator. It is a type of rectifier in which the forward direction of current is rectified, but the reverse direction, when the voltage is exceeded, will become an open circuit and the energy stored in the form of heat. In the case of 3EZ8.2D10E3 / TR12, it is a breakdown diode with a reverse voltage of 10V and a forward current rating of 8 amperes. It is commonly used as a voltage-stabilizing element, as it will limit the output voltage to a desired level, no matter how much the input may vary.

The working principle of this diode is based on the Zener effect, which is a type of electrical breakdown that occurs when the reverse voltage across the PN junction of a diode is increased beyond its breakdown voltage. The diode is then said to be “Zenering out”. As the voltage across the diode increases, more and more current passes through the diode, resulting in an increase in the amount of energy dissipated by it. The Zener effect is referred to as “Zener clamping” because the voltage across the diode will be clamped to a certain level.

When this diode is used as a voltage regulator, it will allow the current to flow in one direction until the voltage reaches a certain level, then it will clamp the voltage to that level. This allows for the output voltage to remain stable, no matter what the input voltage may be. The fact that this diode can also withstand high levels of current makes it well suited to applications like motor control and power supply regulation.

Conclusion

The 3EZ8.2D10E3/TR12 is an example of a Zener diode which is suitable for use in a wide range of applications. It is able to regulate the output voltage by clamping the current to a certain level, even when the input varies, which makes it an ideal component for voltage stabilizing. Furthermore, it has a high current rating which makes it suitable for applications like motor control and power supply regulation.
