PZU12B,115

PZU12B,115 is a type of single zener diode composed of a single diode layer. It has a wide range of applications in both commercial and industrial applications.

Application Fields

The PZU12B,115 can be used in voltage regulation and the isolation of circuits. It can also be used in the control of reverse current and the protection of circuits from being exceeded. In addition, it can be used for the control of electric fields, the stabilization of voltage and the limitation of surge voltages.

Working Principle

The PZU12B,115 works by supplying a current across two ends. As this current passes through it, electrons are drawn away from the other end by the electric field, creating a diode effect in which electrical charge can only flow in one direction. This means that the current can only pass through the diode in the direction of the gap between the semiconductor materials. This property of the diode ensures that it only allows current to pass in one direction.

It also has a ‘zener effect’, which is where the voltage across the diode decreases to a certain value, known as the zener voltage, as the current through the diode increases. This is due to the depletion layer at either end of the diode, which acts as a barrier, preventing current from crossing the gap from the other side of the diode. This effect can be used to regulate the voltage across circuits.

The PZU12B,115 is a high voltage diode, typically used for applications that require a wide range of voltages for different levels of current. Its properties enable it to provide reliable, efficient and stable performance.
