DFLZ36-7

The DFLZ36-7 is a single Zener diode that can be used in a variety of electronic applications. It has a wide operating voltage range and low reverse voltage leakage current. It\'s commonly used in voltage regulation, voltage stabilizing and protection circuits.

The DFLZ36-7 is a single, low-voltage Zener diode with a capacitance of about 7 picofarads. It is constructed from an N-type substrate, surrounded by a P-type doping layer. The doping layer forms a barrier between the N-type substrate and the anode. The cathode is connected to the P-type doping layer, and the anode is connected to the N-type substrate, forming a junction.

The diode has a reverse breakdown voltage of 36 volts and a peak inverse voltage of 70 volts. The current flow through the diode is linear up to its peak inverse voltage, and then it will drop sharply from the breakdown voltage down to 0 volts. It has a maximum power rating of 500 milliwatts. The Zener voltage variation is about 1% over a temperature range of -50°C to +125°C.

The DFLZ36-7 can be used in a variety of applications such as voltage regulation, voltage stabilization and protection circuits. In voltage regulation applications, the voltage of a power source is kept quite constant despite variations in its load current. The diode also helps protect a circuit from over-voltage conditions. It can be used to drop the voltage on a signal line, or can be used as a transient protection device in power supplies.

The operating principle of the DFLZ36-7 is based on the Zener effect. In the Zener effect, when the reverse bias voltage exceeds the threshold value of reverse breakdown voltage, the resistance of the diode suddenly drops and large amount of current flows through the diode. This current flow helps to regulate the voltage across the diode, resulting in a nearly constant voltage output irrespective of the variations in the load current.

The DFLZ36-7 can be used in a wide variety of applications requiring efficient voltage regulation or protection from over-voltage conditions. It is a reliable and highly efficient component that can help ensure optimal performance of any circuit.
