Diodes, such as zener and single, are widely used in power supplies, motor controls, semi-conductor device designs, and many other applications.

The PLZ15C-HG3/H is an example of a single zener diode. Its purpose is to provide a consistent regulated reference voltage with maximum current and power dissipation rating. It utilizes a junction barrier to control current and create a constant reference voltage. The anode terminal of the diode is connected to the positive voltage source, such as a power supply. The cathode is connected to the negative voltage source and becomes the reference voltage source.

The PLZ15C-HG3/H has a variety of applications. It is frequently used as a voltage reference in a regulated power supply. It is also used as a protection device in various different electrical circuits. This diode is often used to provide a limited reverse-voltage protection, which helps prevent damaging currents from flowing from a power source.

The PLZ15C-HG3/H is also well suited for precision electronic applications where a stable reference voltage is required. This diode can also be used in circuits as an attenuator to hold a steady reference voltage. The diode is also used to protect sensitive circuitry by limiting the amount of current that can flow in either direction through the circuit.

The working principle of the PLZ15C-HG3/H is based on the PN junction barrier of the diode. When the diode is biased in the forward direction, the junction barrier prevents current from flowing. The barrier consists of a thin layer of insulating material between the connected p-type and n-type semiconductor materials. This barrier enables current to flow from the anode to the cathode in one direction only.

When a reverse bias is applied to the diode, the barrier will become more resistant to current. This is due to the increased electric fields that suppress the carriers from crossing the barrier. The voltage that is required to stop the current is referred to as the zener voltage, and will remain constant regardless of the current. The zener diode also has a characteristic leakage current that can flow when the reverse voltage is applied. This current is typically very low, and will not affect the functioning of the diode.

The PLZ15C-HG3/H has a maximum power dissipation of 1 watt, and a maximum reverse voltage of 7.0 V. It is typically available in DO-15 style packages. The diode has a maximum operating temperature of 100°C and a thermal resistance junction to case of 1.4 °C/W. The diode also has a maximum surge current of 5A.

In summary, the PLZ15C-HG3/H is an example of a single zener diode that is used for applications requiring a stable reference voltage with a maximum power dissipation rating of 1 watt and a maximum reverse voltage of 7.0V. Its working principle is based on the PN junction barrier, which prevents current from flowing in one direction only. The diode is often used as a voltage reference in a regulated power supply, or as a protection device to limit the amount of current that can flow in either direction. It is typically available in DO-15 style packages, and has a thermal resistance junction to case of 1.4 °C/W.
