It is an efficient electronic element when compared to other diodes. In this article, we will discuss in detail the application field and working principle of FLZ7V5C.

Application Field

FLZ7V5C finds its application in providing linear regional regulation for a variety of electronic circuits. It can be used for operations like calibration and measurement in the fields of telecommunications, power electronics, automotive electronics and industrial electronics. FLZ7V5C is also used in voltage stabilizers, sensing circuits and overvoltage protection circuits. FLZ7V5C has maximum current rating from 600mA to 1600mA, depending on the operating temperature. The internal structure of FLZ7V5C is designed for high reliability and long service life.

Working Principle of FLZ7V5C

FLZ7V5C, like other diodes, works on the principle of junction electroluminescence. In a Zener diode, the Zener voltage, also known as knee voltage, is the breakdown voltage at which the diode begins to conduct in the reverse-biased condition, typically 0.7V for a silicon diode. The Zener voltage is determined by two physical characteristics, the junction barrier voltage and the internal electric fields. In the forward-biased condition, a Zener diode behaves exactly like a regular diode. However, when the reverse-biased voltage is greater than the Zener voltage, the diode starts to conduct in the reverse direction.

In the case of FLZ7V5C, when a given voltage is greater than its Zener voltage (7.5V), the diode starts to break down and conducts Zener current in the reverse direction. This current passes through the diode, and the energy generated heats up the diode and dissipates in the form of heat. The maximum current rating of the FLZ7V5C is 1600mA and the breakdown voltage is 7.5V. The maximum power dissipation for this diode is 5W.

In conclusion, FLZ7V5C is an efficient and reliable electronic element which finds applications in providing linear regional regulation for a variety of circuits. It operates on the principle of junction electroluminescence and helps in protecting circuits from damaging effects of overvoltage. The maximum current rating for FLZ7V5C is 1600mA, and the power dissipation is 5W.
