RLZTE-1115B

Diodes - Zener - Single

RLZTE-1115B is a Zener single diode often used in voltage regulation, across the line suppression, or both. It has an integral trigger or detachable trigger, and is hermetically sealed in a hybrid flat-pack epoxy mold case. This diode is composed of a diode anode and a diode cathode and requires a minimum operating temperature of -65°C and a maximum of 175°C. The RLZTE-1115B can handle up to 1.5 amperes of current and is designed to operate within a specific voltage range.

Application Field

Due to its high reliability and temperature tolerance, the RLZTE-1115B is mostly used in voltage regulation and in the regulation of AC and DC current. It is also often used in industrial, medical and aerospace applications, such as in power plant, test control, and monitoring systems. This diode also plays an important role in automotive industries, where it is used for motor vehicle and off-road vehicle electrical safety and system reliability. As the RLZTE-1115B is immune to a wide frequency range of noise signals, it is suitable for high frequency and high voltage applications, such as those found in advanced communications and automotive systems.

Working Principle

The RLZTE-1115B is a Zener diode, which means that it is used for voltage regulation and to protect electronics from voltage surges. This diode works by allowing current to flow in one direction but preventing it from flowing in the opposite direction. This occurs when the circuit voltage exceeds the diode’s reverse break-down voltage. When this happens, the diode breaks down and the current begins to flow in the opposite direction, reducing the excess voltage and maintaining the voltage level in the desired range. When the voltage falls below the diode’s break-down voltage, the diode’s current direction is reversed, allowing the current to flow in the original direction, restoring the circuit voltage to its pre-surge value. This is known as the Zener effect, and is the basis of the RLZTE-1115B’s voltage regulation.

The RLZTE-1115B is also a single diode, meaning that unlike a rectifier diode, it has only one anode and cathode. It is also an epoxy mold case, which means that it is hermetically sealed for a more reliable performance. The diode also has a trigger feature, which allows for the remote triggering and resetting of the diode’s voltage or current. This feature is particularly useful in industrial applications, where a remote system can reset the voltage or current to its original state.

Conclusion

The RLZTE-1115B diode is a single Zener diode commonly used in voltage regulation and across the line suppression applications. It is hermetically sealed and immune to frequency noise, making it ideal for high frequency applications. It also has a detachable or remote trigger for easy voltage and current regulation and resetting. This diode is also highly reliable and is largely used in industrial, medical, and aerospace applications.
