EDZVT2R3.6B Discrete Semiconductor Products

EDZVT2R3.6B diodes are designed for various industrial, commercial, and personal applications. As with any diode, its primary purpose is to allow current to flow in one direction and block it from flowing in the opposite direction. EDZVT2R3.6B diodes, however, have a few special characteristics that make them different from conventional diodes. These characteristics are what give EDZVT2R3.6B diodes the ability to fulfil the requirements of more specialized tasks.

Characteristics

At the heart of the EDZVT2R3.6B diode lies a unique zener breakdown voltage which allows the diode to have both a high breakdown voltage and low dynamic impedance. This characteristic allows the diode to handle higher current without experiencing significant power losses. In addition, the EDZVT2R3.6B diode features a reverse voltage protection of 500V, which means that it is able to withstand a large amount of power in reverse direction before breakdown.

Another feature of the EDZVT2R3.6B diode is its temperature range. The diode is designed to remain stable at temperatures between -55C and +125C.

Applications

Due to its unique characteristics, EDZVT2R3.6B diodes are used in a variety of applications. They can be used in overvoltage protection circuits, as well as in DC-DC converters, battery chargers and power supplies. EDZVT2R3.6B diodes are also used in various types of switching applications, such as power switch controllers or power MOSFETs. Finally, the diode is also used in various electronic resistance heating systems.

Working Principle

In order to understand how an EDZVT2R3.6B diode works, it’s important to understand the concept of a Zener breakdown. A Zener breakdown occurs when an electric field is applied to a semiconductor material and the electric field exceeds a certain threshold value. At this point, electrons in the semiconductor material become excited, causing them to cross the potential barrier and create an “avalanche” of current.

In the case of the EDZVT2R3.6B diode, the Zener breakdown voltage is precisely specified, allowing the diode to have a consistent performance regardless of temperature. When the Zener breakdown voltage is exceeded, the diode allows current to flow in the reverse direction. This current is then used to protect the component from overvoltage.

In addition, the EDZVT2R3.6B diode also features a reverse voltage protection of 500V, which means that it is able to withstand a large amount of power in reverse direction before breakdown.

Conclusion

The EDZVT2R3.6B diode is designed to handle a wide range of applications, from overvoltage protection circuits to power switch controllers. With its unique characteristics, the diode is able to protect components from overvoltage and reverse voltages, as well as providing consistent performance over a wide temperature range. As such, EDZVT2R3.6B diodes are an essential component when it comes to protecting circuits and keeping them running smoothly.
