GLL4746-E3/96

GLL4746-E3/96 is a single Zener diode. It is widely used in low voltage control applications such as voltage regulation, current limiting, current stabilization and power supply voltage regulation. It has a wide range of operating temperature ranging from -5°C to +75°C.

A Zener diode is an electronic component that can be used as a voltage regulator by allowing current to pass in one direction, but not in the other. This type of diode typically has a breakdown voltage of 5V to about 200V, and is able to maintain a reasonably constant voltage drop across its terminals even when the voltage applied to it exceeds its breakdown voltage. This controlled breakdown is what enables it to be used as a regulator.

The working principle behind the GLL4746-E3/96 Zener diode is that of a rectifying diode. When forward biased with a positive voltage, it acts much like a normal diode, allowing current to flow in one direction. However, when reverse biased with a voltage greater than its breakdown voltage of 5V, it enters a breakdown region and will cause a voltage drop of 5V across its terminals. This results in a controlled flow of current even when the applied voltage exceeds its breakdown voltage.

The GLL4746-E3/96 Zener diode has a number of applications, including low voltage and power control, current limiting, voltage spike suppression, voltage regulation, current stabilization, and power supply voltage regulation. It can also be used for high frequency rectifiers and as a stabilizer for various digital circuits.

The GLL4746-E3/96 Zener diode is typically used in sensitive electronic circuits. Due to its ability to maintain a consistent breakdown voltage, it can be used in powering LEDs and other components without the need for a large energy source. As it is able to regulate voltage and current, it is also ideal for use in safety circuits, protecting sensitive components from sudden surges in voltage or current.

The GLL4746-E3/96 Zener diode is also a very reliable component, with a long lifetime, and is able to operate within a wide temperature range. Its small size and light weight also make it ideal for use in portable devices, as it can easily be fitted into small spaces. Overall, the GLL4746-E3/96 is a versatile and reliable component suitable for a wide range of low voltage control applications.
