AZ23B36-HE3-08

The AZ23B36-HE3-08 is a type of ubiquitous diode array. It is commonly used in various electronic applications, such as voltage regulation and protection, AC/DC conversion and signal switching. This diode array is especially useful in applications where a wide range of voltages need to be regulated.

The AZ23B36-HE3-08 consists of eight zener diodes connected in series. It is designed for a forward voltage up to 3A, and the zener voltage ranges from 6.1 to 36V. It also has an operating temperature range from -55 to +125°C. Each diode can effectively absorb transients up to 8V and maintain total voltage regulation across the array.

The working principle of the AZ23B36-HE3-08 is relatively simple. Each individual zener diode within the array is connected in series. This means that when a higher than recommended voltage is applied, it will be split between the diodes and the excess will be dissipated as heat. This allows the array to regulate the voltage across all eight diodes and maintain a steady voltage.

The AZ23B36-HE3-08 is often used in a variety of situations where a wide range of voltages are encountered. It can be used in AC/DC converters, voltage regulators, electronic strobes and current limiting circuits. It is also commonly used in automotive and aerospace applications, providing reliable voltage regulation for sensitive systems.

The AZ23B36-HE3-08 is a relatively simple and cost-effective solution for voltage regulation and protection in a variety of applications. It is designed to absorb transients and provide steady voltage regulation across the array. This makes it an excellent choice in a variety of applications and environments.
