MAZ41400MF Discrete Semiconductor Products

MAZ41400MF is a type of diode classified as a single Zener diode. This component is designed to stabilize voltage levels in various applications, primarily in automotive applications.

This component has a maximum reverse voltage rating of 400V and a maximum forward current of 1A. It can be used in a wide range of operating conditions, from a few hundred millivolts to several volts. The component is also capable of handling high-frequency operation in some cases.

The diode is rated for a maximum junction temperature of 175°C and a maximum power dissipation of 5.6W. This component is also rated for a high surge current, allowing it to handle short-term overloads without damage. The high surge current capability is particularly useful for automotive applications, where sudden voltage surges can occur during engine start-up.

The MAZ41400MF is designed to provide a regulated voltage level in both DC and AC circuits. It operates on the principle of a difference in voltage between the anode and cathode, resulting in a non-linear propor¬tional relationship between the anode and cathode voltages. This non-linear relationship allows the component to perform its stabilizing function.

The component works by allowing a current to flow from the anode to the cathode when the anode voltage is higher than the cathode voltage. This current flow creates a negative voltage across the diode, which is used to regulate the voltage between the two points. The diode is designed to stabilize the output voltage, even when large currents flow through it.

The MAZ41400MF is commonly used in applications such as protection of power supplies, voltage regulation, and the control of load current in motor drives. It is also suitable for use in low-frequency switching applications. The component is also well suited for automotive applications, owing to its ability to handle high frequency and short-term overloads.

In summary, the MAZ41400MF is a single Zener diode designed primarily for use in automotive applications. It is capable of handling a high forward current and a maximum junction temperature of 175°C. The component works by allowing a current to flow from the anode to the cathode when the anode voltage is higher than the cathode voltage. This diode is capable of handling high frequency operation in some cases and is also used in a wide range of applications, including protecting power supplies, voltage regulation, and load current control in motor drives.
