The BZD17C100P RUG Diode is categorized as a single Zener diode. It is a semiconductor device used for voltage regulation and as a reference for electrical components. One of its primary functions is protecting electronic parts from overvoltage, making it an important part of electrical circuit systems. It is often found in power supplies, electric motors, cars, industrial equipment and consumer electronics.

The BZD17C100P RUG diode is usually composed of a P-type semiconductor material with an anode and a cathode. The anode is the positive-connected end and the cathode is the negative-connected end. It is also known as a Zener diode because of its ability to "Zener" or direct a reverse voltage to specific tolerance or reference levels. The main feature of this type of diode is that it acts as a voltage regulator, providing constant voltage levels when a load is connected between the diode’s anode and cathode. When the voltage on the anode exceeds the breakdown voltage (Vbr), the diode will conduct and a regulated voltage will be delivered to the load.

When a Zener diode is connected in reverse bias, an electric field component will occur. This field component between the anode and cathode causes a Zener breakdown voltage to rise as the current increases. As a result, the diode will start to conduct and current will flow from the anode to the cathode. The amount of current that can flow through the diode is limited because the diode acts as a resistor.

Despite its robust nature and usefulness in numerous applications, Zener diodes have some limitations and should never be used as a replacement for a Linear regulator. While they are not as good at regulating voltage as Linear regulators, they are one of the most common types of DC regulators since they are inexpensive and easy to use.

The BZD17C100P RUG diode offers a high level of voltage protection and provides a very stable voltage source that can be used in applications such as power supplies, voltage references, and current regulators. Additionally, this diode is ideal for use in thermopiles, sensors, viatrans, high-voltage testing, power regulation and other general electronic components.

The working principle of a BZD17C100P RUG diode is simple and efficient. When a forward voltage is applied to the diode, it will act as a resistor and convert the current into heat. Conversely, if a reverse voltage is applied, the electric field component between the anode and cathode will cause Zener breakdown voltage to rise and the diode will start to conduct. As the current increases, the diode will provide a regulated voltage, ensuring a stable voltage source.
