Diodes - Zener - Arrays

AZ23C43-E3-18 is a type of diode considered to be within the Zener-array family. Zener diodes are used primarily for voltage regulation, and AZ23C43-E3-18 is no exception. While current is not necessarily routed through the diode itself, when sufficient voltage is applied it will turn on, allowing a current to flow as needed for potential rectification, protection and regulation depending on the design of the circuit.

This particular diode can stand up to peak currents of 3 Amps, with an average of 283 mA, and is constructed and rated to last up to 63 Volts. This makes the AZ23C43-E3-18 a viable option for power sources, amplifiers, and other various circuitry that require higher levels of durability and reliability than other diodes may provide.

The principle of operation is simple: when the diode is forward biased, current is easily allowed to flow in the forward direction, while when it receives a reverse biasing, current is prevented from flowing. The Zener effect – or avalanche - occurs when the reverse bias is appropriate enough to breakdown the depletion region, allowing a determined current to flow, regardless of the polarity.

The AZ23C43-E3-18 diode has many applications in electronic circuitry, as it is capable of working at a wide variety of voltages, ranging for 37 V to 63 V. This makes it an exceptionally suitable companion for many types of circuits, some of which include:

• Surge suppressors
• High-temperature circuits
• Voltage regulation
• DC to DC converters
• Clipping, peak rectification and other related circuitry

The AZ23C43-E3-18 is unique for its ability to provide a low-level current capacity, paired with the possibility of usage in more demanding fields such as high temperature circuits and DC to DC converters. This versatility makes it one of the best Zener-array diodes available, able to serve duty in a wide variety of projects from low-power circuits to more demanding ones.

Above all, the AZ23C43-E3-18 is designed to offer reliable and consistent protection against any hiccups in the current flow. When low-voltage and controlled current flow are desirable, this diode excels due to its ability to regulate voltage spikes and conductivity while protecting the circuit from unneeded electrical energy.

When applied correctly, the AZ23C43-E3-18 is a reliable, efficient and long lasting diode, able to handle higher-voltage and current-intensive tasks with the same level of proficiency it displays in more basic applications. Its versatility, reliability and performance make it a preferred choice for many engineers building electronic circuitry.
