Diodes - Zener - Single

The PLZ2V2A-G3/H is a Zener diode designed for single polarity voltage regulator circuits in portable and mobile radio communication devices. It is available in a SOT-323 miniature surface-mount package with a total of five terminals.

The PLZ2V2A-G3/H is composed of a PN junction formed by the semiconductor materials zinc and indium (InZn), and is biased in one direction. When a positive voltage is applied to the diode, a potential barrier is formed. Although it will not allow the current to flow in the reverse direction, the potential barrier formed by the applied voltage is relatively small.

The PLZ2V2A-G3/H diode has a maximum power rating of 600 mW and a zener voltage range of 2.2 V with a tolerance of ± 5%. This device provides an integrated on-state forward voltage of 15 mV at 10 mA, with a maximum reverse current of 2.2 mA. These characteristics make the PLZ2V2A-G3/H ideal for protecting electronic circuits from transient voltage spikes.

The PLZ2V2A-G3/H is a commonly used in a wide range of applications. It is commonly used in automotive equipment, test and measurement electronics, industrial equipment, medical equipment, telecommunications equipment, UPS systems, RF power transistors, and HVAC systems.

The working principle of the PLZ2V2A-G3/H involves controlling the voltage by deliberately producing a reverse bias in the diode, using the voltage-sensing properties of the P-N junction. When the external voltage supply is applied to the diode, the junction will become reverse-biased and a potential barrier will form. Beyond this barrier, the electrons cannot flow in the reverse direction.

This potential barrier helps to regulate the voltage level that passes through the diode, as the voltage drops when the current reaches the P-N junction. This amount of drooping is known as the “zener voltage” and can be calculated by subtracting the forward voltage from the applied voltage. This allows the diode to maintain a stable voltage level when the current passes through it.

The PLZ2V2A-G3/H can also be used as a voltage stabilizer in AC circuits. It is designed to operate as a shunt regulator, effectively bypassing the applied AC current when it is within the specified range of the Zener voltage rating. This prevents unwanted AC components from being passed through the circuit and disrupting its performance.

Overall, the PLZ2V2A-G3/H Zener diode is an invaluable component in a wide range of applications, especially those that require reliable voltage regulation and isolation from AC disturbances. Its ability to operate in a wide range of temperatures, coupled with its high power rating and low forward voltage, make it an ideal choice for many engineering applications.
