A RB715ZT2L, or RB715, is a family of surface mount, single-row rectifier diode arrays. It contains two rectifier diodes that are mounted inside a compact SMD-style package and configured in an opposing, common cathode configuration. The RB715ZT2L is designed to provide electrical protection against mains voltage transients, as well as providing a low forward voltage drop for most applications.

RB715ZT2L’s are designed to protect sensitive devices from high voltage transients and currents, this is referred to as "crow-barring". RB715ZT2L’s are capable of providing a low forward voltage drop for most applications, making them ideal for use in low-voltage and low-power applications. Additionally, the RB715ZT2L can be used in applications where reverse-blocking is required, eliminating the need for an additional component such as a zener diode.

The RB715ZT2L is ideal for use in low-voltage electronics, such as AC/DC power supplies, solar chargers/inverters, appliances, computers, and industrial control systems. It can handle high surge currents, making it ideal for mains-voltage protection. It is also suitable for applications in the automotive sector, such as DC/DC converters and power supplies.

The working principle of the RB715ZT2L is based on the flow of current through the diode array. In the electrical circuit, current flows from the anode of the first diode to the cathode of the second diode in the array, creating what’s known as a reversed-blocking effect. This is the same principle used in the basic diode, where current flows from anode to cathode but is blocked from flowing backwards. In the case of the RB715ZT2L, this reversed-blocking effect is enhanced due to the in-line configuration of the two diodes.

The benefit of the RB715ZT2L’s reversed-blocking effect is that it allows the entire array to handle much higher surge currents than a single-diode protection circuit. When the protection circuit is triggered, the protected device will remain fully protected, even under extreme conditions. Additionally, due to the low forward voltage drop of the RB715ZT2L, power loss is minimized, further enhancing its efficiency.

In summary, the RB715ZT2L is an ideal solution for low-voltage, low-power applications that require reverse-blocking capability and/or protection from mains voltage transients. Its compact size and low forward voltage drop make it an economical choice for applications in the consumer, automotive, and industrial sectors.
