MTZJ36SD R0G

Introduction

MTZJ36SD R0G is a type of single zener diode which is mostly used for its many applications in the electrical industry. This diode can be used for a quite wide range of uses, such as rectification, voltage regulation, voltage limiting and reverse voltage protection.

Features

MTZJ36SD R0G is rated with a voltage range between 6.2V and 36V. It has an operating temperature range of -55°C to 200°C and it has a current rating of 300mA. It has a junction capacitance of 5pF. Its build quality is quite good and it has an ESD contact and induced air gap discharge of 2000V.

Applications

MTZJ36SD R0G is mostly used as a regulating device to protect other components from electric shock and to prevent their breakdown due to high voltage. It can also be used to regulate voltage for efficient power management. In addition, this diode can be used for voltage limiting and reverse voltage protection. It can also be used in LED lightings, automotive electric circuits and power supply circuits.

Working Principle

MTZJ36SD R0G is a zener diode and it works in the same way as a normal diode. It comprises two layers, p and n-type, between which an electric current can flow when a forward voltage is applied to the diode. The voltage at which the electric current starts to flow is known as the breakdown voltage. However, the difference between a normal diode and a zener diode is that, when the voltage is reversed, the zener diode will breakdown at a much lower voltage and the current will flow in the opposite direction.

The advantage of this is that it can be used as an efficient regulating mechanism or to limit the voltage in a circuit. This is because when the voltage rises above the threshold voltage, the diode will start to conduct and discharge the excess energy, thus keeping the voltage in the circuit within the desired range.

Conclusion

In conclusion, MTZJ36SD R0G is a type of single zener diode which is popularly used for its various applications in the electrical industry, such as rectification, voltage regulation, voltage limiting and reverse voltage protection. It works in the same way as a normal diode, but has the added benefit of having a much lower breakdown voltage when the voltage is reversed.
