DZ2716000L

The DZ2716000L diode is a high voltage linear voltage regulator of the Zener diode variety manufactured by WEITRON. This device is known as a constant voltage source mainly used in power supply equipment and it is also used in various other systems where over-voltage protection is required. This article will discuss the various application fields of the DZ2716000L as well as its working principle.

Application Fields

The DZ2716000L is mainly used in power supplies such as AC/DC and DC/DC models. These power supply units are designed to provide the correct voltage and current for a wide range of electronic appliances. The DZ2716000L diode is used in these power supply systems to maintain regulated output levels and make sure that no overvoltage occurs. The DZ2716000L is also widely used in automotive applications as well as telecommunications. The DZ2716000L can be used for protection against lightning induced surges. Various surge protection modules used in protecting sensitive electrical equipment such as lightning coils and mountain lightning towers contain the DZ2716000L diode. It is also used in certain military applications where the device can protect electronic equipment from sudden power supply surges.

Working Principle

The working principle of the DZ2716000L is similar to that of other Zener diodes. It consists of two main components, the emitter and the cathode. The emitter is connected to the gate terminal of a PN junction transistor. The emitter-cathode junction is also connected to a Zener diode that acts as a reference voltage. When an input voltage is applied to the gate terminal of the PN junction transistor, the electrostatic field between the emitter and the cathode of the diode increases. This increases the current flowing from the emitter to the cathode. At the same time, a potential difference is created between the cathode and the gate terminal of the PN junction transistor. This potential difference is the Zener voltage of the diode. When the input voltage reaches the Zener voltage, the diode stops conducting current, thus regulating the voltage and preventing overvoltage.

Conclusion

The DZ2716000L is a popular high voltage linear voltage regulator used mainly in power supply systems and other sensitive electronic components requiring overvoltage protection. Its working principle is based on the Zener diode, which regulates the current flowing from the emitter to the cathode. This diode can also be used in surge protection modules, automotive applications and military applications. Due to its ability to regulate current and protect against voltage overloads, the DZ2716000L is a very important device in the electronics industry.
