SMAZ47-13

Diodes - Zener - Single

The SMAZ47-13 is a single zener diode, which is commonly used for regulating power supplies and for providing overvoltage protection for electronic circuits. It is a low voltage general-purpose zener diode that is designed for use in a variety of applications, such as voltage regulation, clipping, and clamping. The device has a reverse breakdown voltage of 13 volts.

Application Field:

The SMAZ47-13 is widely used in power supplies, voltage regulators and other circuits that require overvoltage protection. It is also often used in circuits where it provides a reference voltage to other components, such as in LED displays. The device is widely used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, medical and military.

Working Principle:

The SMAZ47-13 has a reverse breakdown voltage of 13 volts. When the voltage across it exceeds the specified breakdown voltage, it acts as a short circuit and conducts current in both directions. This allows it to protect circuits from overvoltage and helps control the flow of current in circuits.

The device also acts as a voltage regulator. When the voltage across it is lower than the specified breakdown voltage, it only allows a certain amount of current to pass through it. This helps regulate the voltage in circuits and ensures that it does not exceed specified limits.

In addition, the SMAZ47-13 can be used as a voltage clamp or limiter. When the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the device, it will limit the amount of current that can pass through it. This helps protect sensitive components from high-voltage spikes.
