RLZTE-1122A

The RLZTE-1122A is a single Zener diode, a device used in electrical circuits as a voltage regulator. It limits the maximum voltage in a system by providing a “breakdown” voltage at which the diode begins to conduct, thereby relieving the excess voltage from the system.

The RLZTE-1122A is composed of a semiconductor material, usually silicon. It works by allowing electrons to flow through the material in one direction, known as a forward biased junction, and to be blocked in the opposite direction, known as a reverse biased junction. When a voltage which is greater than the breakdown voltage of the diode is applied to the diode, the reverse biased junction will open and begin to conduct, thereby limiting the voltage applied to the diode.

The RLZTE-1122A is mainly used in the power supply stage of electrical circuits, as a means of controlling the output voltage of the power supply. It can also be used in other applications, such as controlling the voltage applied to transistors, as a voltage-limiting device, or as a temperature sensing device. In all of these applications, the RLZTE-1122A operates on the same principle, limiting the voltage applied to a certain level.

The RLZTE-1122A is capable of handling voltages from 5 to 25 volts, with a current rating of 50 milliamperes.

The RLZTE-1122A is a reliable, low-cost device, and is widely used in applications where a precise and stable voltage needs to be regulated. In power supplies, it can be used to limit the output voltage of the power supply to a precise value, ensuring that no voltage spikes occur, which could otherwise cause damage to sensitive components. In temperature sensing applications, it can be used to sense and limit the temperature of a device to a safe operating range, preventing overheating and resulting damage. In voltage limiting applications, the RLZTE-1122A can be used to ensure that no overvoltage is applied, reducing the risk of component damage due to excessive voltages.

In conclusion, the RLZTE-1122A is a reliable, low-cost device, commonly used in power supplies, temperature sensing, and voltage limiting applications. It is capable of handling voltages from 5 to 25 volts, with a current rating of 50 milliamperes.
