NZX10D,133 Discrete Semiconductor Products

The NZX10D,133 is a single Zener diode which is used in a wide range of applications. The primary purpose of this diode is to provide a steady, stable voltage source for use in different types of circuits. The diode has a wide range of applications and can be used for protection, for voltage regulation, or for noise suppression.

The NZX10D,133 is a Zener diode, meaning that it has two distinct modes of operations. The first mode is its reverse bias mode, which is when the diode is operating in reverse and draws current. In this mode, the diode provides a stable voltage and can be used to protect other components from voltage overshoots. The second mode that the NZX10D,133 can operate in is its forward bias mode, which is when the diode is operating in forward and is pushing current. In this mode, the diode can be used to regulate the voltage in a circuit, by smoothing out the voltage waveforms and preventing voltage spikes.

The diode has a broad operating temperature range, from -55 to +125 degrees Celsius (-67 to +257 degrees Fahrenheit), allowing it to be used in a wide variety of applications. It is also able to withstand large amounts of current, with a maximum power rating of 2 watts.

The working principle of this diode is relatively simple. When the diode is exposed to a voltage higher than its Zener breakdown voltage, it will conduct current in the reverse direction. This current is called the Zener current and is limited to a safe level. The diode will then act as a voltage regulator, where the voltage across it is stable and does not increase or decrease significantly. The Zener current will also provide some noise suppression, which is useful in sensitive electronics.

The NZX10D,133 is a reliable and robust single Zener diode, which is capable of providing steady and stable voltage in a wide range of applications. It is well suited to applications where a stable voltage is essential, and its wide temperature range and power rating makes it a great choice for many applications. Its reverse and forward bias modes also make it extremely versatile, allowing it to be used for protection, voltage regulation, and noise suppression.
