The PLZ36D-HG3/H is a single Zener diode which can be used in a range of low-voltage applications. It is constructed with a combination of two P and N-type layers which act as a rectifying junction. The standard operating voltage range of the diode is 6 to 36V and the maximum reverse breakdown voltage is 40V.

The primary use of a Zener diode is in a voltage regulation circuit, where it helps maintain a constant voltage level by protecting against excessive voltage. To do this, the Zener diode clips away excess voltage, maintaining the desired level via a breakdown mechanism.

The PLZ36D-HG3/H has a maximum reverse current of 50μA and a maximum forward current limit of 100mA. It can operate at a maximum junction temperature of 150°C, as specified by the manufacturer.

In its most basic configuration, the PLZ36D-HG3/H can be connected to a power source in a simple series circuit. The current flows from the power source, through the Zener diode and then to the load. The Zener diode’s breakdown voltage clips away the excess voltage, leaving the load with a constant voltage.

The PLZ36D-HG3/H can also be used in a voltage supply regulator circuit. In this configuration, the Zener diode is placed between the AC power supply and the load. The output voltage is controlled by the current, which is limited by the Zener diode’s forward voltage limit. The diode also helps protect against overloads, as any excess current is clipped away by the diode’s breakdown voltage.

The PLZ36D-HG3/H can also be used in power supply ripple reduction circuits, where it aids in the effective regulation of the output voltage by damping voltage ripples. The Zener diode is placed in parallel with the load, where it clips away the ripple signals before they reach the load, helping to maintain a clean and consistent output.

The PLZ36D-HG3/H makes an ideal choice for voltage regulation and ripple reduction applications as it offers a stable operating voltage range, low leakage current and high current carrying capacity in a small package.
