MMSZ4715-HE3-18

The MMSZ4715-HE3-18 diode is one of the many single Zener diodes that are available on the market. This particular diode has been designed with in-line passivations to ensure better noise immunity and total power rating of 18 milliwatts. It also boasts a peak reverse blocking voltage rating of 47.5 volts, which is one of its greatest advantages.This Zener diode has a wide variety of applications in both digital and linear circuit designs such as voltage regulation, voltage reference, voltage clamping, over-voltage protection, buffer circuits, reset circuits, and more. The diode is also used in power supplies. It can be used as an adjustable voltage regulator for circuits that need a stable voltage supply.Being a single diode, the MMSZ4715-HE3-18 diode has a two-terminal construction, consisting of an anode and a cathode. The anode is marked with a band stripe, while the cathode is unmarked. When the anode is connected to the positive voltage and the cathode to the negative voltage, it allows electricity to flow in one direction, thus providing the desired power regulation. In Zener mode, electricity flows in both directions, but with a difference. The flow of electricity is maintained at a certain level. This is referred to as the Zener breakdown voltage, which should be lower or equal than the peak reverse blocking voltage.In linear applications, the Zener breakdown voltage is also referred to as the Zener reference voltage. This voltage is used as a reference source for other transistors and integrated circuits which do not require a high breakdown voltage. This diode\'s ability to regulate voltage makes it a great choice for circuits that need accurate stabilization.The MMSZ4715-HE3-18 diode also has some interesting characteristics. It features a low dynamic resistance, which means that it can handle a wide voltage range of 47.5 volts. In addition, it has a high peak frequency, which makes it suitable for high frequency applications such as radio and television equipment. Furthermore, it has low power dissipation and can handle up to 10 watts and high junction temperature up to 125 degrees Celsius.In summary, the MMSZ4715-HE3-18 diode is a reliable and useful component that can be used in various electrical and electronic applications. Its excellent performance in terms of high peak blocking voltage, low dynamic resistance, and low power dissipation make it a great choice for a wide range of projects. Its excellent characteristics make it suitable for digital and linear circuit designs, voltage regulation, voltage reference, voltage clamping, over-voltage protection, buffer circuits, reset circuits, and other power supplies.
