The PZU11B3A,115 diode is a uni-directional semiconductor device, with a nominal reverse voltage of 11.5 volts, a maximum forward current of 400 mA and a reverse current leakage of <5 µA. It has a typical capacitance of about 4 pF and a breakdown voltage range of 11.0 - 12.5 volts, depending on the current.

The PZU11B3A,115 diode is ideally suited for voltage-regulating roles, and its frequency response is excellent. It is able to function effectively in areas requiring a wide range of temperature operating conditions, with a band gap voltage of 0.7 volts, permitting the use of lower current limiters.

The working principle of this diode is relatively simple and can be explained as follows: when connected in forward bias, a voltage is applied between the anode and the cathode, which causes electrons to move from the n-type region through the p-type region, and thus creating a current flow. When reverse polarity is applied, the current decreases with increasing voltage, until a certain “breakdown” voltage is reached. Above this voltage, the diode begins to conduct current, allowing most of the applied voltage to pass through without any resistance.

The PZU11B3A,115 is a highly efficient and robust component, and it can be used in a wide range of applications. It is used for voltage regulating in RF applications, for clamping action in switching power supplies and for limiting in audio/video circuits. It is also used for ESD protection, overvoltage protection and voltage regulating in applications such as automotive equipment and communications systems.

In conclusion, the PZU11B3A,115 is a highly efficient single Zener diode, capable of providing a reliable and cost-effective solution in a wide variety of electronic devices, circuits and applications. Its simplicity and excellent performance make it a popular choice for engineers and technicians in a range of industries.
