FLZ36VC Application Field and Working Principle

The FLZ36VC is an axial-leaded, 36 Volt Zener diode with a wide variety of applications. This single diode is designed for automotive, appliance and industrial lighting, and other general purpose applications. It is available in both glass, ceramic and plastic sections.

A Zener diode is an electronic device that is used to regulate voltage. It consists of two sections: an anode and a cathode. When forward biased, current flows from the anode to the cathode and when reverse biased, current will still flow, but in the opposite direction, from the cathode to the anode. The most important feature of the Zener diode is that it has a breakdown voltage, which is the voltage at which the diode begins to conduct reverse current and the current flow is limited by the resistance in the diode.

The FLZ36VC Zener diode has a breakdown voltage of 36 Volts and is designed to become conductive when the reverse voltage applied to it is greater than 36 Volts. This makes it ideal for applications where very accurate, regulated voltages are required. The device is also capable of dissipating up to one watt of power, making it suitable for higher power applications.

The FLZ36VC Zener Diode can be used to regulate the voltage in a variety of applications, such as lighting, satellite systems, amplifiers, RF systems, computers, and telecommunications. The diode can also be used as a voltage reference device, allowing circuits to maintain a precise voltage as the operating temperature changes.

The FLZ36VC Zener Diode is a robust, reliable device and is a cost-effective solution for many voltage regulation applications. It is an essential component of any electronic circuit and is used in a wide variety of electronic devices.
