NZX36X,133 Discrete Semiconductor Products

Introduction

NZX36X, 133 is a single Zener diode whose application field and working principle are discussed in this article. It works on the principle of allowing current flow in one direction, but not in the other. This is made possible by a junction of two differently doped semiconductor materials or two different metals.

Application Field

NZX36X, 133 is used in a variety of applications, including voltage regulation, surge protection, and voltage clamping. In these applications, the diode must be able to withstanding high reverse voltages and also channel any excess current away from the circuit. Additionally, these types of diodes can be used for temperature control, electrical instrumentation, or other sensitive circuits.

NZX36X, 133 is also is made of two pieces of semiconductor material, with different doping values and different effective resistances.

When the forward bias of the circuit is greater than the threshold voltage (VT), the diode will conduct, allowing current to pass through. However, if the reverse bias of the circuit reaches a certain voltage, then the diode will break down, allowing current to flow in both directions.

The Zener diode can be used to regulate voltage in a circuit by allowing a controlled amount of current to “leak” through the diode, regulating the voltage to the desired value.

Conclusion

The NZX37X, 133 is a single Zener diode used in a variety of applications, including voltage regulation, surge protection, and voltage clamping. It works on the principle of allowing current to flow in one direction, but not in the other. It allows a controlled amount of current to “leak” through the diode, regulating the voltage to the desired value.

This diode has a variety of uses, including in communications applications, switches, transistors, and other feedback control systems. It requires no power to switch on and off, making it energy efficient, as well as allowing it to withstand high reverse voltages.
