CZRNC55C4V7-G

Diodes - Zener - Single

The CZRNC55C4V7-G diode is a single zener diode used for voltage regulation, clipping and clamping, and other given applications. It consists of anode and cathode terminals, which are usually identified by color-coding. It is used to protect circuits from over-voltage, or to provide a reference voltage when other parameters such as temperature or load change.

Application Field

The CZRNC55C4V7-G is suitable for any voltage regulation, clipping, or clamping applications. It is particularly compatible with high-frequency circuits and power supplies, as it is incredibly stable. It is also useful in AC-DC applications such as automotive or consumer electronics, or in any other situation where a controlled voltage is necessary.

Working Principle

The CZRNC55C4V7-G is an example of a stander zener diode. It uses the reverse breakdown voltage of the diode junction to operate as an efficient voltage regulator. This happens when the voltage across the diode increases above the junction breakdown voltage (also called the zener voltage). The reverse current in the diode then increases exponentially, and the voltage drop across the diode stays constant, creating a stable voltage reference.

The diode can also be used for other applications, such as an AC/DC converter, or a voltage limiter. It can also be connected in series with a DC voltage source in order to limit the voltage and protect the circuit. This is possible because the reverse current is clamped to a certain level, ensuring the current never exceeds a certain amount.

The CZRNC55C4V7-G is a great choice for voltage regulation and other applications due to its low cost, low noise, and consistent performance.
