It can also be used in TV sets that require voltage regulation, experimental circuitry, and any other application that requires low voltage regulation.

Working Principle of 3EZ9.1DE3/TR12

The working principle of a 3EZ9.1DE3/TR12 is relatively simple. When the diode is forward biased, a very small voltage is applied to the diode and current flows freely. When the current increases and reaches the reverse breakdown voltage point, the current flow is stopped and the voltage remains constant at a predetermined level. This is due to the Zener characteristic of the diode, which prevents the voltage from rising above the Zener breakdown level.

The 3EZ9.1DE3/TR12 is a great device for low voltage regulation, as it is able to maintain a low voltage regulation point, while keeping the current flowing. Additionally, it has a built-in avalanche breakdown protection that makes it even more reliable and robust. As such, it is suitable for a variety of low voltage regulatory applications.
