Diodes - Zener - Single: PLZ5V1C-G3/H Application Field and Working Principle

The PLZ5V1C-G3/H is a single Zener diode that is used in a variety of applications to regulate electric currents and act as a protective device. It is made from silicon and is essential for providing a constant voltage in order to maintain proper operation of a circuit or device. This diode can be used in multiple areas such as automotive and industrial applications.

The PLZ5V1C-G3/H is made from an N-type silicon substrate and has a diameter of 6.5mm and a total height of 0.6mm. It is designed to be reverse-biased, meaning the positive terminal is connected to the cathode and the negative terminal is connected to the anode. When a reverse-bias is applied to the diode, it will slowly build up a voltage called the Zener Voltage. Unlike a standard diode, the Zener diode does not have a maximum breakdown voltage. It will continue to increase up to the specified Zener voltage thus creating a reverse breakdown. This allows the diode to regulate the voltage and current within the circuit and provide protection from surges and spikes.

The breakdown voltage of the PLZ5V1C-G3/H can be adjusted and is typically set to 5V. The max forward current rating is 120mA, while the max reverse current is 40μA. When the diode is in reverse-bias, the voltage will reach 5V after 1 second and remain at 5V until the current is exceeded. The operating temperature range of the diode is between - 55°C to +125°C. The device will also have a wide tolerance range ranging from 5% to 10%.

The PLZ5V1C-G3/H is often used in automotive applications such as lighting systems, voltage converters, and circuit protection. It is also used in industrial applications such as power supplies, instrumentation, and communication systems. The device is an effective protection device due to its low leakage, high current rating and adjustable voltage. Furthermore, it is stable, reliable and easy to handle.

In summary, the PLZ5V1C-G3/H is a single Zener diode that can be used in a variety of applications such as automotive and industrial. It is made from silicon and is designed to be reverse-biased with a breakdown voltage of 5V and a max forward current rating of 120mA. The diode is effective in providing a constant voltage and protecting against voltage and current surges. Additionally, it is a reliable, stable and easy to handle device.
