Diodes, especially Zener Diodes, are commonly used in many technologies, especially as regulators of electric current. The GDZ7V5B-G3-18 is a single Zener Diode, designed for applications that use a regulated current. It is rated at 500mW, and its operating temperature is between -25°C and 85°C.

The GDZ7V5B-G3-18 diode is mainly used in applications that require the steady regulation of a current. As current passes through the diode, the voltage is maintained at a set level. This is known as the breakdown voltage, or the Zener Voltage. The GDZ7V5B-G3-18 has a Zener Voltage of 7.5V, making it suitable for applications that require a steady 7.5V source.

The diode is built with an anode and a cathode, and current can only flow through the diode in one direction. When the current flows in the correct direction, it passes through the diode without any resistance, creating a standard forward bias. If the current is reversed, the diode creates a reverse bias, and the voltage quickly rises as the current passes through. This is known as the Zener effect, and is the basis of Zener Diodes. In the GDZ7V5B-G3-18, when the reverse bias reaches the Zener voltage of 7.5V, it triggers the Zener effect, and the diode begins to regulate the current, keeping the voltage at 7.5V.

This regulated voltage is used in many applications, such as voltage buffers, voltage converters, modulators, signal overload protection, etc. It can also be used to create an adjustable voltage, by adding a base resistor to adjust the current flowing through the diode. This can also be used as a reference voltage in a larger circuit, or to offset the voltage in a signal or power supply.

In addition to its use in regulating current, the GDZ7V5B-G3-18 can also be used as a power switch in some applications. This is done by using the diode as a reverse biased current limiter. When the current reaches the Zener Voltage, the diode acts as a conductor, and allows the current to pass through. When the current drops below the Zener Voltage, the diode acts as an insulator, and prevents any further current from passing through.

The GDZ7V5B-G3-18 is a single, regulated Zener Diode, designed to control and regulate current in a range of applications. By reversing the current flowing through the diode, the Zener Voltage is triggered, and the diode begins to regulate the current, keeping it at the designated voltage. As well as its use in regulating current, the diode can also be used as a power switch, as it acts as a conductor or an insulator depending on the level of current.
