DDZX18C-7

The DDZX18C-7 is a single Zener diode, used to protect electrical circuits from overvoltage and to stabilize voltage levels when desired.

The maximum reverse breakdown voltage of the DDZX18C-7 is 18 V, making it suitable for many applications such as computer systems, telecommunications, automotive and military equipment.

The DDZX18C-7 is composed of two sections: an anode and a cathode, with a p-type region between them. Inside these components, a high electric field causes electrons to leave the anode and move towards the cathode, resulting in current flow. When a voltage greater than the breakdown voltage is applied across the diode, electric current starts to flow from the anode to the cathode without any increase in the applied voltage.

This current flow is limited by the resistance of the p-type region between the anode and the cathode. As a result, the DDZX18C-7 prevents high voltages from damaging electrical circuits. In addition, the diode can be used to regulate the voltage level of an electric circuit to a fixed value.

The DDZX18C-7 is commonly used in applications such as computer systems, telecommunications, automotive and military equipment. In these applications, the diode is used to protect circuits from overvoltage, as well as to regulate voltage levels. The device is also suitable for the protection of semiconductor devices, such as transistors and integrated circuits, from overvoltage.

The DDZX18C-7 is a highly reliable device with a low forward voltage drop and a fast recovery time. It is available in a wide range of packages, making it suitable for a variety of applications.

In conclusion, the DDZX18C-7 is a single Zener diode used to protect circuits from overvoltage and to regulate voltage levels.
