MAZ41600MF

Diodes - Zener - Single

The MAZ41600MF series devices are zener single diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor. These semiconductor components are used in various applications and their working principle is based on a zener voltage regulator.

General

The MAZ41600MF is an in-line, four-lead surface mount device measuring 2.3 mm by 2.6 mm. The device exhibits a temperature coefficient of -0.05 %/K and has a maximum working voltage of 100 V. It also has a breakdown voltage of 5.6 V and a peak current ratings of 50 mA.

Applications

The MAZ41600MF is most commonly used in applications requiring a reliable and efficient zener regulator. Due to its small size, it is ideal for low profile applications such as handheld electronic devices, cell phones, MP3 players, laptops and other similar items. The MAZ41600MF is also used to regulate power supplies in automotive and industrial applications, making it a suitable solution for various voltage regulation needs.

Working Principle

The MAZ41600MF is a zener single diode which operates on the principle of zener voltage regulation. When a voltage is applied from the anode to cathode, electrons move from the cathode to anode at a controlled rate, creating a zener voltage determined by internal characteristics. This zener voltage is then regulated by the MAZ41600MF device and the current flowing through it is reduced. This is known as the zener effect, and it is the principle upon which the MAZ41600MF device operates.

Conclusion

The MAZ41600MF series is a reliable and efficient zener single diode manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor. The device is most commonly used in low profile electronic devices and automotive and industrial applications, due to its small size and high voltage ratings. It operates on the principle of zener voltage regulation, and is capable of providing a reliable and accurate voltage regulation.
