• Automotive - The PZU5.6B2A,115 can be used as a clamping device to protect circuits from overvoltage transients (such as those produced by lightning strikes) in automotive applications.
• Telecommunications - This diode can be used as a voltage regulator in telecommunications circuits, as it can provide a stable output when subjected to overvoltage conditions.
• Consumer electronics - The PZU5.6B2A,115 can be used in consumer electronics applications that require a low-profile circuit protection device, as its small form factor is ideal for products with tight space constraints.

Working Principle

The PZU5.6B2A,115 is a Zener diode, which is essentially a silicon diode that has been specifically designed for voltage regulation purposes. A Zener diode relies on a specific breakdown voltage to achieve regulation. When the voltage at one of its terminals exceeds the breakdown voltage, the diode switches from a non-conductive to a conductive state, enabling current to flow in either direction.

By connecting a resistorin series with the diode and applying a voltage to the junction, the current through the diode is limited. When the voltage increases until it is equal to the breakdown voltage of the diode, the diode will start to conduct and the voltage across the diode will be limited to the Zener voltage.

The PZU5.6B2A,115 diode is designed to remain in a steady-state, non-conductive condition until the voltage at one of its terminals reaches the breakdown voltage. At this point, the diode will begin to conduct and the voltage across the diode will remain at the breakdown voltage.
