PZU15B,115

Diodes - Zener - Single

The PZU15B,115 is a diode that falls into the category of a single Zener diode. It is primarily used to produce a constant voltage between two terminals, and its working principle is based on the use of a reverse breakdown voltage. It is often used for applications that need to maintain a certain level of voltage or prevent a voltage from exceeding certain limits.

All single Zener diodes have the same basic structure, which can be broken down into two distinct layers. The first layer contains an n-type semiconductor material. The second layer is composed of a p-type semiconductor material. These two layers form a junction. Under normal circumstances, electrons in the n-type layer Repel the electrons in the p-type layer, Thus maintaining a uniform electric potential.

When the applied voltage across the junction exceeds the reverse breakdown voltage, current starts to flow. This current is known as the "Zener effect." During this process, electrons in the n-type layer become depleted, and the electric potential across the junction is no longer uniform. This allows current to flow in both directions, an operation that is known as "breaking down."

The main application for a single Zener diode is to regulate and maintain a constant voltage level. When used to regulate the output of a power supply, the resultant voltage will be approximately the same as the reverse breakdown voltage that is specified for the diode. Because the PZU15B,115 can be used in a variety of applications, it is often used in such areas as power supplies, audio amplitude control, and voltage regulation.

In order to increase the range of application possibilities, the PZU15B,115 is equipped with several features. It has an RMS voltage rating of 15V, a peak inverse voltage of 30V, and an maximum allowable dissipation of 0.8W. It also has a zener breakdown voltage of 11V, making it suitable for use in a variety of voltage regulation applications.

The PZU15B,115 is a highly reliable diode that was designed for use in a variety of applications. It is capable of maintaining a constant voltage level, and its features make it suitable for a wide range of applications. Its highly reliable performance makes it an ideal choice for those who need a dependable solution for their voltage regulation needs.
