3EZ8.2DE3/TR12 Application Field and Working Principle

A 3EZ8.2DE3/TR12 is a type of single Zener diode, specifically a planar Zener diode, which is most commonly used in regulator and switching applications, as well as general rectification purposes.

A Zener diode has a forward bias voltage applied to it, which means that the electrons of the diode are accelerated through the barrier between the n-type and the p-type material. This flow of electrons sets up an electric field, called the Zener field, which causes the electron, then the hole, to continue to move in a reverse direction. In the process of reverse flow, the voltage applied to the diode is reduced, and then becomes stable due to the Zener field.

The 3EZ8.2DE3/TR12 diode provides excellent reliability due to its temperature coefficient and high breakdown voltage tolerance. These Zener diodes have a good reverse power rating, which makes them ideal for use in applications such as rectifiers and regulators. Additionally, the 3EZ8.2DE3/TR12 features a wide operating temperature range, a high open-circuit voltage, and low forward voltage drop.
