PLZ10C-HG3/H

The PLZ10C-HG3/H is a single Zener diode commonly used in various applications. It is engineered to have a high energy-efficiency Zener regulation profile, and the main types of applicability can be complete with the following.

The PLZ10C-HG3/H is designed for use in AC/DC and Power Supplies, Voltage Regulators, Linear Voltage Regulator Modules, Ground Fault Control Modules, System Power Supply Monitors, AGC Control Modules, and Rectifiers.

The PLZ10C-HG3/H is equipped with a reverse breakdown voltage of 9.0V and has a current regulation of 20mA. It features a Zener voltage threshold of 10V and has a total power dissipation of 500mW. The operating temperature range is -20ºC to 85ºC and the storage temperature range is -40ºC to 110ºC.

In AC/DC and power supplies, the PLZ10C-HG3/H is responsible for regulating the output voltage. The diode acts as an overvoltage protection device and prevents excessive voltage from coming through the power supply. This same property of the diode ensures that the voltage is stabilized. In linear voltage regulator modules, systems power supply monitors, and rectifiers, the PLZ10C-HG3/H follows similar principles, maintaining voltage stability and preventing excessive amounts of power from reaching the components.

In ground fault control modules, the Zener diode works as a reference node and monitors the system’s voltage levels. As the voltage increases, the Zener diode limits the amount of current traveling through the system. This helps control circuit fault conditions and prevents the voltage from exceeding predetermined thresholds. With AGC (Automatic Gain Control) modules, the PLZ10C-HG3/H also operates as a reference node, but in this application, the diode works by providing feedback information to the control circuit. This helps to maintain a stable voltage during fluctuations.

The operation of the PLZ10C-HG3/H is based on the Zener effect, which states that when a Zener diode is connected in reverse bias, the depletion layer created between the P-type and N-type regions will greatly widen. This results in a large majority charge carriers being present in this depletion layer, allowing for a higher amount of current to flow when compared to a regular diode. The current travels through the diode and is a result of a potential difference between the anode and the cathode, created when the diode is connected backwards.

In summary, the PLZ10C-HG3/H is a single Zener diode that can be used in a variety of applications such as AC/DC and power supplies, linear voltage regulator modules, ground fault control modules, system power supply monitors, AGC control modules, and rectifiers. Its operation is based on the Zener effect, where a potential difference and current flows through the diode when it is connected in reverse bias.
