MTZJT-7712B

Introduction

MTZJT-7712B is a single Zener diode directed towards making protection against the electrostatic discharges. It prevails the characteristics of high operating temperature and long service life. It meets the criteria of enhanced reliability and has good solderability.

Application field and Working Principle

The Zener diode such as MTZJT-7712B is primarily used to protect sensitive semiconductor devices from the overvoltage surges. It is usually connected in reverse bias across the transistor’s collector-emitter junction to be able to stop electrostatic discharges from entering the circuit. It has a high resistance when compared to other kinds of diodes and does not allow a flow of current when it is not exposed to intense temperature.

When the MTZJT-7712B Zener diode has no voltage applied, the current flow is reversed and the junction between the anode and the cathode is blocked in a state known as ‘reverse bias’. However, if the voltage applied to the diode is greater than the punch-through voltage, the diode will pass current and is said to be in the ‘forward bias’ state. This happens whenever the diode is exposed to intense temperature because of the electrons being excited, the entire junction is shifted towards a neutral point lower than the zener voltage.

The MTZJT-7712B Zener diode works by allowing current to flow into the circuit when a voltage higher than the breakdown voltage is reflected. This allows the diode to stop surges from entering the circuit and damaging the components. It is also used in other applications such as supplying reference voltages, wave shaping, clipping, and crossovers. Moreover, it can be used in both AC and DC circuits.
