PLZ6V2A-HG3/H

Diodes - Zener - Single

The PLZ6V2A-HG3/H diode is a single Zener diode, a type of rectifying diode that is operated in reverse bias, allowing it to provide voltage regulation by preventing voltage from exceeding a certain level.

It is made up of two semiconductor materials, p-type and n-type, that are connected together in a structure known as a PN junction. This structure allows the diode to carry current in one direction, while blocking it in the other direction.

This diode is often used in applications that need to regulate voltage levels, such as power supplies and voltage regulators. The operating principle of this diode is based on the fact that, when the voltage across the PN junction reaches a certain level, it causes the current to be diverted into the n-type material, allowing the voltage to be regulated.

This diode also has a relatively low forward voltage drop, which makes it well suited for applications that require high efficiency. It can also handle high peak currents, making it suitable for applications such as voltage surge protection.

This diode is also well suited for use in smaller circuit designs, due to its small size. It is available in various packages, including the SOT-23, SOT-223, SOT-343 and SOT-89. It is rated for operation in temperatures up to 150°C, and its maximum reverse voltage is 6V.

In conclusion, the PLZ6V2A-HG3/H diode is a single Zener diode that is well suited for use in applications that require voltage regulation and high efficiency. It offers a low forward voltage drop, high peak current capabilities and a small size, which makes it suitable for use in small circuit designs.
