Diodes - Zener - Single - RLZTE-1124B Application Field and Working Principle

The RLZTE-1124B is single Zener diode developed by RLZTE. It is widely used for reversing polarity protection, ESD protection and voltage, current regulation.

The RLZTE-1124B is a PN junction diode. It consists of two leads. It has an anode and a cathode, which are also known as a positive and a negative terminal respectively. The current flow is from the anode to the cathode. The diode has an intrinsic semiconductor that is made up of a P-type silicon and an N-type silicon. The P-type silicon has a majority of holes, while the N-type silicon has a majority of electrons.

The RLZTE-1124B is a Zener diode, which is a type of PN junction diode designed for voltage regulation. It has a wide operating voltage range, from 3V up to 25V. It is widely used for reverse polarity protection, ESD protection, and voltage, current regulation.

The way Zener diode works is that, when voltage is applied to the diode, the intrinsic semiconductor layer will have electric current passing through it. The electric current will cause some electrons to move from the N-type silicon side to the P-type silicon side. This will result in having a positive charge on the P-type silicon side, and a negative charge on the N-type silicon side. This will then form a depletion layer and act as a barrier between the two sides, preventing further current flow.

The Zener diode will then work as a voltage regulator. When the voltage across the diode exceeds its Zener breakdown voltage, current will start to flow in the reverse direction, thus regulating the voltage across the diode. This is known as the Zener effect.

The RLZTE-1124B Zener diode is a popular choice among engineers due to its high performance and low cost. It has an operating voltage range from 3V up to 25V, with a breakdown voltage of 12V. It has a wide operating temperature range from -50°C up to + 125°C. It also has a low junction capacitance of 0.2pF, making it ideal for frequency regulation and ESD protection.

In summary, the RLZTE-1124B is a single Zener diode which is widely used for reversing polarity protection, ESD protection and voltage, current regulation. It has an operating voltage range from 3V up to 25V, and a breakdown voltage of 12V. It has a wide operating temperature range from -50°C up to +125°C, and a low junction capacitance of 0.2pF.
