ACZRW5232B-G

Diodes are devices that allow current to flow in one-way direction. Zener diodes are a type of diode that acts as a voltage regulator when reverse-biased. They are commonly used in power supplies, to protect sensitive electronics from voltage spikes. The ACZRW5232B-G Zener diode is a single diode designed for general-purpose voltage regulation.

Application Field: The ACZRW5232B-G is designed for general-purpose use in power supplies. It can be used to create a voltage regulator circuit for stabilizing the output of a power supply. It is also used in voltage protection circuits to protect sensitive electronics from over-voltage.

Working Principle: The ACZRW5232B-G Zener diode utilizes the principle of Zener breakdown. When the reverse bias voltage exceeds the diode’s breakdown voltage (also known as the Zener voltage), the diode enters a region of low resistance. This low resistance facilitates current flow and provides a stable voltage level. The diode can be used in a simple voltage regulator circuit where a fixed voltage is desired.

The ACZRW5232B-G Zener diode is a cost-effective solution for creating a voltage regulator or voltage protection circuit. It has a nominal Zener voltage of 5.2 V and a Zener impedance of 46 mΩ, thus allowing current to flow at lower voltages. It is also rated for operation up to a maximum voltage of 6.5 V and a maximum current of 500 mA. The diode has a high temperature range of -55C to +150C and is UL recognized.
