CZRU3V3B-HF

A common type of diode is the Zener single, where the CZRU3V3B-HF variant is an example of one such diode. While it may not be the most common, the CZRU3V3B-HF is surprisingly capable and has proven to be a robust solution.

In terms of its application field, the CZRU3V3B-HF is typically used for voltage regulation, in order to protect electronic components that could be damaged by fluctuations or overloads. The peak power dissipation of this powerful component is 500mW although it typically runs much lower than that. This makes it an ideal choice for situations where DC stabilization is paramount.

As for its working principle, the CZRU3V3B-HF implements the function of a Zener diode, which is to help regulate the voltage. It can be connected in either series or parallel mode to create a more stable and reliable circuit.

The forward voltage of the CZRU3V3B-HF is 3.3V and its reverse voltage is 42V. It has a slew rate of two volts per microsecond with the current capability of up to 1A. When it comes to the useful parameters of this component, the thermal resistance is 35 degrees Celsius per watt and the junction-to-ambient capacitance ratio is 4.7pF/K.

All in all, the CZRU3V3B-HF is an excellent choice of Zener single, due to its solid fundamental performance, as well as its low footprint, small size and reliable service. Its uses range from simple voltage regulation, to more sophisticated applications such as over voltage protection and signal switching. As with many other diode variants, the CZRU3V3B-HF stands out from the competition.
