EU 2ZV1

Diodes - Rectifiers - Single

The EU 2ZV1 diode is a single-phase, three-pin, shunt rectifier ideal for general purpose low power applications such as in AC and DC circuits, as well as in auxilaries, like junction regulators.

This diode boasts an impressive average rectified forward current of 1 Ampere with a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 Volts and a maximum surge of 30 amperes. It supports a maximum operating temperature of 150⁰C and a thermal resistance junction to ambient of 250K/W. In addition, its maximum forward voltage drop of 1.1 volts at 175 volts is ideal for devices sensitive to current draw.

The EU 2ZV1 works best when its aluminum oxide passivated silicon chips are attached to an epoxy resin body. This provides an unrivalled level of stability, allowing for an outstanding load life expectancy of 1000 hours at full load. Furthermore, its industry leading output is maintained for up to a full 10-year period in temperature extremes ranging from - 40⁰C to +125⁰C.

The EU 2ZV1 diode uses the principle of rectification to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC). The forward bias of the diode allows current to flow from the anode to the cathode, resulting in positive charge on the anode and negative charge on the cathode. When the current increases, so does the voltage drop across the diode, causing the current to drop without any additional losses.

The main applications of the EU 2ZV1 diode include industrial, automotive, telecom equipment, lighting and electrical equipment, medical and aerospace applications, and small electronic devices. As this diode has a wide variety of uses, it is an excellent choice for many projects that require high efficiency and reliable operation. At 175 volts, the EU 2ZV1 offers an industry-leading reliability and performance that can be put to use in a range of applications.

The EU 2ZV1 diode provides an unparalleled level of efficiency, stability, and reliability to its users. Its unrivalled performance characteristics, along with its broad application field, make it the go-to choice for any project requiring high quality rectification.
