CZRQR13VB-HF

The CZRQR13VB-HF diode is a type of single Zener diode that is used in many applications and works by relying on a special breakdown voltage characteristic. This diode is generally used in situations where transient voltage protection from reverse currents is necessary, as a voltage reference in circuits, or in battery-powered devices for reverse polarity protection. The CZRQR13VB-HF can also be used as a reference element for regulating a fixed voltage, or for the protection of a circuit where a high surge of voltage or current is anticipated.

The CZRQR13VB-HF diode uses the Zener Effect, which occurs in diodes used in electrical circuits to regulate voltage. This effect is caused by a breakdown of the diode\'s depletion layer, allowing current to “block” and flow through the device in the reverse direction when this depletion layer becomes narrower than the required voltage. This process, called reverse breakdown, will cause the voltage drop across the diode to remain close to a fixed value, thus regulating the voltage in the circuit.

The CZRQR13VB-HF is designed to handle high surge and current, with a rated power dissipation of up to 500 mW. It has a reverse breakdown voltage range of 3.2 to 13 volts, a reverse leakage current of 100 μA and a maximum forward current of 5.5 amps. The CZRQR13VB-HF also comes with an extended operating temperature range from -55 to +125°C, and is available in both axial and surface mount designs.

The CZRQR13VB-HF diode is primarily used as a regulator, or reference element, in applications such as computers and other microcircuit applications. It can also be used for RF switching, voltage reference circuits or for protection against surge, spike and overvoltage. The CZRQR13VB-HF can be used in an array of devices, including power supplies, motor control units, telecommunications systems, printers, portable audio devices and automotive electronics.

The CZRQR13VB-HF diode is a versatile device that is capable of providing stable and reliable power, monitoring and protection to a range of applications and circuits. With its extended operating temperature range and wide input voltage range, the CZRQR13VB-HF makes a great choice for a variety of uses. The CZRQR13VB-HF is an excellent choice for any circuit application in need of transient voltage protection with excellent current stability.
