CZRUR52C12

CZRUR52C12 diodes are a type of single Zener diode that are used in a variety of electronic applications, from low-voltage DC power supplies to high-voltage applications where insulation and voltage protection are paramount. The versatile nature of this diode offers great flexibility and usability, benefiting a broad range of industries and application scenarios.

The CZRUR52C12 is a single Zener diode. It is a two-electrode device with a Zener junction between the anode and the cathode. This junction is designed to “break down” at a precise reverse-bias voltage, allowing a small amount of current to flow in the opposite direction (i.e., in the “reverse-bias” direction). This current provided the basis for Zener voltage regulation.

The Zener junction exhibited by the CZRUR52C12 is characterized by a reverse-bias voltage breakdown, whose voltage is typically set by the manufacturer and is imprinted on the diode as VZK (breakdown voltage). For the CZRUR52C12, this value is typically around 2.4V. The breakdown voltage of the diode is determined by the design of the diode’s chip and can vary from device to device. Zener diodes can be used to protect circuits from over-voltage conditions, such as those produced by ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) events and other phenomena. They can also be used in linear voltage references and as series-voltage limiters.

The CZRUR52C12 has several distinct features that contribute to its versatile potential:

• Low-voltage cutoff: designed to remain open when the reverse-bias voltage applied is greater than the breakdown voltage, while the forward current remains below 1uA.
• Built-in Zener voltage regulation: designed to maintain the reverse-bias voltage within a certain range when a small signal is applied to the cathode.
• High-pulsed current capability: designed to allow currents of up to 5A to pass through it without any degradation.
• High-power rating: designed to withstand temperatures up to 150°C without any damage.

The CZRUR52C12 can be used in a variety of applications, from low-voltage DC power supplies and linear voltage references, to high-voltage applications where voltage protection and insulation are of utmost importance. Moreover, its low forward voltage drop and high pulsed-current capability make it suitable for use in pulse and switch-mode power supplies.

Overall, the CZRUR52C12 is a versatile single Zener diode that offers a reliable and efficient solution to a wide variety of electronics applications. Its simple and efficient design allows it to be used in applications where voltage protection and insulation are paramount, while its wide operating range and high pulse-current capability make it suitable for a broad range of industry applications.
