ACZRM5260B-HF

The ACZRM5260B-HF belongs to the diodes - zener - single family. Diodes are semiconductor devices that allow an electric current to pass in one direction and are commonly used for their rectification properties. As such, single zener diodes are used in a variety of applications and offer a wide range of uses in electronics.

The ACZRM5260B-HF is a single zener diode with a breakdown voltage of 5.260V, a maximum forward voltage of 8V, and a reverse leakage current of 200nA. It is suitable for applications where a reliable, low noise and high efficiency operation is needed. The ACZRM5260B-HF is capable of operating in a wide range of temperatures and is also available in both bare die and packaged options.

One of the most common uses for single zener diodes such as the ACZRM5260B-HF is in voltage regulation. The diode is connected in series with a load and acts as a variable resistance enabling the user to set a certain voltage across the load. The zener breakdown voltage sets the level of the voltage and the reverse leakage current controls the amount of current to be regulated by the diode.

Single zener diodes can also be used for other purposes than just voltage regulation. The diodes are capable of providing the opportunity for circuit protection against excessive current surges. In applications such as this, the zener diode is generally connected either in series or parallel with the load. By connecting the diode in series, the excessive current would be diverted to the diode, thus protecting the load. By connecting the diode in parallel, it would act as a shunt, allowing current to be diverted away from the load and ensuring that a current spike is not caused.

The ACZRM5260B-HF is also capable of providing protection against overvoltage and the destruction of sensitive equipment. When used in this manner the ACZRM5260B-HF is connected in parallel with the sensitive equipment and is oriented such that its reverse breakdown voltage is equal to or lower than the breakdown voltage of the equipment. This ensures that if the voltage of the equipment exceeds its breakdown voltage, the diode will absorb the voltage and protect the equipment from destruction.

The ACZRM5260B-HF is an example of a high quality single zener diode capable of providing reliable, low noise and high efficiency operation. It is suitable for applications such as voltage regulation, circuit protection, and overvoltage protection, and is a valuable component in a wide range of electronic systems.
