CDZFHT2RA8.2B Discrete Semiconductor Products

Diodes - Zener - Single

A CDZFHT2RA8.2B diode is an example of a Zener diode. A Zener diode is a semiconductor device that has a reverse breakdown voltage that allows it to absorb large surges of electrical current without failing. The CDZFHT2RA8.2B is a small component measuring only 11.85 mm by 6.37 mm. It is a high-performance device that is ideal for applications that require extremely low leakage current and temperature stabilities.

A Zener diode works by creating a very narrow, highly conductive region near its anode. This acts like a diode, allowing positive current to travel forward through the diode, but preventing negative current from doing so. This creates an extremely low voltage "window" that is less than the reversed breakdown voltage of the diode. As a result, the part can resist large amounts of current when placed in a circuit.

The CDZFHT2RA8.2B is popular for its low leakage current, making it suitable for logic circuits, power supplies, and other situations where the component\'s ability to keep out incoming current is critical. It is also popular for its temperature stability; the device functions smoothly as temperatures range from -55°C to 125°C.

CDZFHT2RA8.2B diodes are most commonly used in high-z loads, voltage dividers, transient suppression circuits, and where a large amount of current needs to be blocked or “clamped” to a voltage level. By using the device, engineers can protect delicate components within the circuit, while still allowing the application to handle high levels of power.

In summary, the CDZFHT2RA8.2B diode is a high-performance Zener device excellent for low-current and high-temperature applications. Its ability to withstand large surges and clamp voltages makes it ideal for protecting delicate components and ensuring reliable operation of electrical circuits.
