BZD27C36PHMHG - Single Zener Diodes

The BZD27C36PHMHG is a single Zener diode, a form of diode that acts as a form of voltage regulator that helps maintain stability on both DC circuits and light wave circuits. It is a reliable and worthwhile purchase for both hobbyists and those users requiring functionality from the circuit. Below we will look at the application field and working principle of the BZD27C36PHMHG.

Application Field

The BZD27C36PHMHG can be used in any circuitry where a diode is needed, however, it is ideal for any application that requires a stable quasi-regulated DC supply. It is designed to be mounted on a printed circuit board and will handle high-efficiency electrical power systems such as power supplies, converters, voltage regulators and lighting control systems. The BZD27C36PHMHG works with both general circuits and sensitive microcircuits. Additionally, it is commonly used as an active element in switching power circuits, making its application field extremely versatile.

Working Principle

The BZD27C36PHMHG works through the principle of Zener breakdown. This refers to the breakdown of a junction due to the application of voltage across it. When the voltage across the diode reaches a certain point, the diode begins to conduct electricity in the reverse direction. This sets a limit on the maximum voltage across the junction, corresponding to the Zener voltage of the particular diode. This makes the BZD27C36PHMHG an ideal component for regulating both AC and DC current in power supply units.

Many commercial designs of the diode exist, each tailored to the specific requirements of the required function. Although the BZD27C36PHMHG cannot be used in every situation, its ability to maintain a maintain a stable voltage in a circuit makes it indispensable for power supplies, voltage regulators and light wave circuits.
