MAZ8120GML Discrete Semiconductor Products

MAZ8120GML is a single zener diode manufactured by CET Technologies, Inc. It has a variety of applications, including AC and DC line isolation, lightning protection, static control, static discharge and static resistor. The device is capable of up to 8A current.

The MAZ8120GML has an ideal forward voltage drop of 1.4V and has a maximum reverse voltage of 5.5V. It has a low capacitance of 0.004pF and is RoHS compliant. It is rated at a maximum operating temperature of 150°C, making it suitable for harsh environments. The standard power dissipation of the device is 8W and it also has a maximum operating power dissipated of 24W.

The working principle of the MAZ8120GML is based on the Zener breakdown effect. This occurs when the electric field in a semiconductor junction exceeds a certain limit. This increases the reverse current flowing through the junction and the voltage drops to a stable level. This voltage is known as the \'Zener voltage\'. In the MAZ8120GML this is 5.5V.

The MAZ8120GML is ideal for use in AC and DC line isolation, static discharge and static electricity protection as well as static resistor applications. It is particularly suitable for use in automotive and industrial applications due to its high power dissipation and temperature rating. The device is also suitable for use in applications where low capacitance and low reverse leakage current are required.

In conclusion, the MAZ8120GML is a single zener diode which is effective for use in a variety of applications. It is especially suitable for automotive and industrial applications due to its high power dissipation and temperature rating. With its low capacitance and low reverse leakage current, it is also ideal for applications which require these features.
