CZRU52C2

The CZRU52C2 is a 5.2V Zener diode designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment in numerous applications and working environments. It is a high-performance device that can sustain up to 1mA of average current and 2mA of pulsed current. It offers a relatively low forward voltage drop at a high terminal current, making it ideal for power supply protection, regulator and circuit protection, clamps, and general loop stabilizing, among other uses.The device consists of a p-type Zener diode, which is essentially a reverse-biased diode made of two different layers of doped semiconductor material. When current flows in one direction, it can easily pass through the p-type layer, and when current flows in the other direction, the junction between the layers suddenly jumps from a low impedance to a high impedance, essentially blocking the reverse flow of current.When the CZRU52C2 is used as a protection device, the reverse-biased diode acts as a voltage clamp. When the voltage across the diode reaches a certain point (in this case, 5.2V), current begins to flow in the reverse direction, thus limiting or clamps the voltage to a safe level. On the other hand, when the two pins of the diode are connected to a circuit, the device can be used to regulate the voltage at the load, as the terminal current is maintained at the preset value. This makes it ideal for use as a voltage regulator.The CZRU52C2 is a reliable and robust device, with an application temperature range of –65°C to +125°C. It is manufactured with a dielectric breakdown voltage above 6V and has an operating temperature of –55°C to +150°C. Furthermore, it is available in a wide range of packages, allowing the user to select the size and mounting configuration best suited for their application.To conclude, the CZRU52C2 is a 5.2V Zener diode designed for use in numerous applications where voltage protection, regulation and/or stabilizing is required, including power supplies, regulators, and clamps. It offers a high terminal current, low forward voltage drop and a wide range of packages, making it an ideal choice for projects where performance, reliability and temperature range are critical.
