CZRFR36VB-HF

Diodes are widely used in electrical circuits and systems, due to their ability to regulate current or voltage by providing a conducting path in one direction while blocking current in the opposite direction. Zener diodes are a special type of diode that are used to control the voltage of a circuit. Among the variety of Zener diodes, the application field and working principle of the CZRFR36VB-HF single Zener diode will be discussed in this article.

Overview

The CZRFR36VB-HF is a single Zener diode, with an average forward current of 1A and a max forward voltage of 1.4V. It is capable of withstanding up to 25W of power dissipation within the operating temperature range of -30 ºC to + 130 ºC. The CZRFR36VB-HF has a surge current rating of 8A and a maximum power rating of 30W. The device is packaged with a DO-203AA package that is suitable for a variety of applications.

Working principle

The CZRFR36VB-HF is a Zener diode device, which uses an optimized Zener breakdown voltage and tight dynamic impedance tolerance to stabilize the output voltage of an electrical circuit. During forward bias, the device acts like a regular diode allowing current to flow in the forward direction. However, when the voltage across the diode exceeds the Zener threshold, the dynamic impedance of the device decreases sharply and the current passing through increases. This flow of amplified current will maintain the voltage across the diode at the Zener breakdown voltage, thus stabilizing the output voltage.

Application field

The CZRFR36VB-HF is suitable for voltage stabilization and voltage clamping applications due to its low dynamic impedance, high power handling capability, wide operating temperature range and Zener breakdown voltage which ranges from 6 to 36V. Generally, the CZRFR36VB-HF can be used in electronic circuits as a voltage regulator, wave shaping circuit and overvoltage protection circuit. It can also be used in power supplies, telecommunications, automotive and other industrial and consumer applications. In automotive applications, it can be used to protect the circuit from surge voltages and overvoltages.

Conclusion

The CZRFR36VB-HF single Zener diode has a wide range of applications and is suitable for a variety of scenarios. It is designed to withstand up to 30W of power dissipation, allowing it to be used in a variety of industrial, automotive, and consumer applications. Furthermore, its low dynamic impedance and wide operating temperature range make it an ideal choice for voltage regulation and stabilization, wave shaping, and overvoltage protection.
