Working Principle

The DZ23C3V9-HE3-08 is designed to be a two terminal device with 8 volt protection capability .A two piece construction allows for high power handling capability. The diode array consists of two subunits, each consisting of at least one zener diode. When the device is exposed to a ΔV of 8V, it passes the current through to the output and the voltage drops from 8V to the Vz of the application. This mechanism provides protection from overvoltages and potentially faulty signals in a wide range of applications.
