PLZ18C-HG3/H Discrete Semiconductor Products

The PLZ18C-HG3/H is a single zener diode that is ideal for use in applications such as voltage regulation, reverse battery protection and line protection. This diode has a wide range of operating temperatures and can withstand higher currents and voltages for extended periods of time. It is designed for surge protection, temperature compensation, and even protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI).

The PLZ18C-HG3/H is a Zener type diode, which is a form of a semiconductor diode designed to provide a specific voltage level. When direct forward voltage is applied to the diode, it allows current to flow freely. If the forward voltage is increased, the diode reaches its breakdown voltage point, which is the voltage at which it starts to conduct current in the reverse direction. The diode is capable of regulating the power of a circuit, allowing the current to pass through the diode when the voltage exceeds a certain level. When the reverse voltage is applied, the Zener diode will clamp the voltage at a predetermined voltage, preventing the voltage from exceeding that level.

The PLZ18C-HG3/H is ideally suited for applications that require reliable, robust and stable voltage regulation. It is popular with power supply design engineers and is suitable for a range of industrial applications that require a robust, low noise and low ripple or high voltage stability. This diode is capable of providing reliable surge protection and protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) for electronic systems. It is also used for temperature compensation in applications such as temperature sensors and power supplies, as well as providing protection against EMI from radio frequency interference (RFI).

The PLZ18C-HG3/H is designed for use in a wide range of applications. It is used in lighting systems, automotive systems, telecom systems, electronic circuits, and industrial control systems. It is also used in medical and military applications that require high reliability and robustness. The low capacitance and wide operating temperature range make it suitable for use in a variety of demanding applications.

The PLZ18C-HG3/H is a robust and reliable diode that can handle high voltages and currents while providing excellent protection against EMI and RFI sources. The wide operating temperature range allows it to be used in extreme temperatures without having to worry about the current or voltage performance degrading. Its versatility and ease of use make it a popular choice for a range of industrial and consumer applications.
