DDZ10BQ-7

Diodes - Zener - Single are diode types that are used in many electronic components to control the current flow by creating a reverse breakdown voltage. This type of diode is suitable for regulating the voltage of an electronic circuit. The DDZ10BQ-7 is a single zener diode, which is used to regulate the voltage in a circuit and provides protection against reverse voltages. The DDZ10BQ-7 has a low breakdown voltage of 7.5V, making it suitable for environmental protection and high current applications.

The DDZ10BQ-7 has a variety of applications, such as providing protection from transients and short circuit situations, enabling voltage regulation in an LED light head, supplying input to a 7.5V regulator and enabling constant voltage in a clock circuit. This diode is also used to protect power supplies from over-voltage and in other applications that require voltage regulation. The DDZ10BQ-7 has a maximum power dissipation of 125mW, which means that the diode can take up to 125mW of power and has good heat dissipation characteristics that enable efficient operation.

The working principle of a zener diode is based on the fact that it is a reverse connected diode which means that the anode is connected to the negative side of the voltage source and the cathode is connected to the positive side of the voltage source. When a zener diode is forward biased, the current goes through the diode and the diode behaves like a normal diode. However, when the voltage increases, the diode begins to break down and will allow reverse current to flow, thus regulating the voltage. This is known as the "breakdown voltage" and it is the voltage at which the diode starts to conduct in the reverse direction.

The DDZ10BQ-7 is designed to break down at a specific voltage, 7.5V in this case, in order to regulate the voltage in the circuit. The breakdown voltage determines the regulating voltage, so it is important to choose the right type of diode for the application. The diode will be in off-state when the voltage is below 7.5V, and will be in on-state when the voltage is above 7.5V, providing constant protection against over-voltage.

In summary, the DDZ10BQ-7 is a single zener diode that is used to regulate the voltage in a circuit and provide protection against reverse voltages. This type of diode can be used for environmental protection, high current applications, and many other applications that require voltage regulation. The diode is designed to break down at a specific voltage and can provide stable voltage regulation as long as the voltage is below this breakdown voltage.
