EDZVT2R5.6B Application Field and Working Principle

The EDZVT2R5.6B is a Zener diode that can be used for a variety of applications. It is a single diode with two leads with a zener breakdown voltage of 2.5V. This diode can be used for various types of protection, like providing reverse bias voltage protection for power supplies when used with a regular diode. It can also be used to help stop static electricity from being transferred between components.

Working Principle

A Zener diode utilizes the Zener effect to control the voltage across a diode. When a Zener diode is forward biased, electrons are allowed to flow and current is allowed to flow through the diode. When the diode is reverse biased, the Zener voltage is used to oppose the flow of current and voltage is reduced. As the reverse voltage increases the forward voltage of the diode increases, providing a sort of "barrier" between the two terminals of the diode. When the reverse voltage reaches a certain point, the "barrier" is broken and current flows from the cathode to the anode. This is known as Zener breakdown and allows for the regulation of voltage in circuits.

Applications

The EDZVT2R5.6B has a wide range of applications, from controlling the voltage in circuits, providing reverse bias voltage protection for power supplies, and helping to reduce static electricity transfers. It can be used in power supplies, oscillators and protection circuits for various types of equipment.
