Diodes - Zener - Single

CZRW55C6V2-G is a kind of zener diode, which is a type of diode that conducts current in one direction, like a normal diode, but also allows current to flow in the opposite direction when the voltage is above a certain breakdown voltage, called Zener breakdown voltage.

Application Field

CZRW55C6V2-G is widely used in various applications. It is typically used as a voltage regulator to maintain a relatively constant voltage across a circuit. It can also be used in circuits to provide overvoltage protection and voltage reference. Due to its ability to regulate voltage, it is often used in a variety of automotive, aviation, and industrial applications, and the telecommunications industry.

Working Principle

The most important factor that affects the electrical properties of CZRW55C6V2-G is the band gap of the semiconductor material from which it is constructed. This band gap serves to block any current passing through the diode from exceeding a specific voltage, as determined by the band gap of the material. When the voltage is applied to the diode, the electrons in the valence band can gain sufficient energy to move to the conduction band, thus creating an electron-hole pair which carries current. As the voltage continues to increase beyond the breakdown voltage, current can continue to pass through regardless of the applied voltage.

The breakdown voltage, known as Zener voltage, of CZRW55C6V2-G depends on the band gap of the material it is made of, and its temperature coefficient (TC). Generally, the wider the band gap and the higher the TC, the higher the Zener voltage. In addition, the Zener current is also affected by temperature, with a higher temperature increasing the Zener current.

CZRW55C6V2-G is designed to allow reverse current to pass when a breakdown voltage is reached. The breakdown voltage is the voltage at which the current does not increase when increasing voltage is applied. The breakdown voltage of CZRW55C6V2-G is 6 volts and the maximum surge current it can handle is 10 milliamp. The exact value of the Zener voltage varies due to temperature and other factors, so it may be different from the specified value.

Conclusion

In conclusion, CZRW55C6V2-G is a kind of Zener diode, used in a variety of automotive, aviation, and industrial applications. It allows current to pass in one direction like a normal diode, and also allows reverse current to pass when the voltage is above a certain breakdown voltage, called Zener breakdown voltage. The breakdown voltage is determined by the material from which the diode is built and its temperature coefficient (TC). Zener voltage is also affected by temperature, with a higher temperature increasing the Zener current.
