The MAZ41800MF is a type of single Zener diode. Its application field and working principle are described herein.

Application Field

The MAZ41800MF is typically used as a voltage regulator and terminator in many electronic applications. It can also be used in overvoltage protection, as well as other protection circuits. It can also serve as any other Zener diode, with its typical voltage rate of 18V and small zener breakdown voltage of 4.8 volts.

Working Principle

MAZ41800MF is a single Zener diode that works in the same principle in which a normal diode works. It is composed of two leads typcially. The anode lead is connected to the positive power source and the cathode lead is connected to the negative power source. When a voltage of equal to or higher than its Zener voltage is applied to the anode lead, the device will conduct the current, allowing the current to flow from the anode to the cathode at a constant voltage, regardless of any variations in the voltage applied by the power source.

The Zener voltage of the MAZ41800MF is typically 18V. This voltage can not be exceeded; if these voltages are exceeded, it could cause damage to the diode. The diode also has a knee current, which is the minimum current that is necessary for the diodes to operate at the specified voltage. The knee current of the MAZ41800MF is typically 0.5mA.

In summary, the MAZ41800MF is a single Zener diode. Its application field includes overvoltage protection, voltage regulation, and terminators. Its working principle is the same as the normal diode where it will allow the current to flow from the anode to the cathode when a voltage equal or higher than its Zener voltage is applied, and at a constant voltage regardless of any variations in the voltage applied by the power source. It has a Zener voltage of typically 18V and knee current of typcially 0.5mA.
