NZX4V7D,133

A diode, specifically a Zener diode, is an electronic component designed to conduct electrical current in one direction only. They have a very distinct design and feature a highly specialized resistance to current flow within a certain circuit. The NZX4V7D,133 is a Zener diode specifically designed to be used in the power supply line of high-voltage circuits.

Applications Field

The NZX4V7D,133 is a general-purpose Zener diode used in the power supply line of various high-voltage systems. It is mostly used in switching power supplies as well as consumer electronics. It is also used in the power-on circuit of some sensitive electronic equipment, particularly computers, to maintain the voltage stability on the power supply line.

Working Principles

The basic principle behind a Zener diode is that it will only allow current to flow one way. When current is running the positive charge runs from anode to the cathode, and no current is allowed to flow from cathode to anode. This is known as a reverse-breakdown.

When a Zener diode is used in the power supply line of a high-voltage circuit, it ensures that the voltage of the line does not exceed a certain level, which is determined by the diode itself. This is accomplished by regulating the flow of electrical current which causes it to maintain a certain level of resistance in order to keep the flow of current in check.

The NZX4V7D,133 Zener diode features a higher breakdown voltage than the standard Zener, with a rated voltage of 4.7 volts. This makes it ideal for power supply lines in high-voltage circuits, where reliability and stability are important.

Conclusion

The NZX4V7D,133 is a general-purpose Zener diode used in the power supply line of various high-voltage systems. It is designed to only allow current to flow one way and regulate the flow of electrical current in order to maintain a constant voltage and prevent voltage spikes in the power supply line. This makes it the ideal choice for power supplies in sensitive electronic equipment, such as computers.
