Diodes - Zener - Single

SMZG3801BHE3/52 is a single Zener diode with a current rating of 3.0A and maximum voltage ranging between 6V and 52V. This diode is capable of regulating current and voltage levels by allowing current to flow in either direction, depending on the voltage and the current. Zener diodes are commonly used for voltage-regulating purposes, such as protecting against power surges and stabilizing an alternating current in a circuit.

Application Field

The SMZG3801BHE3/52 device is often used for voltage regulation and surge protection in industrial electronics. It is capable of being used as a voltage regulator in power supplies, radio transmitters and receivers, and thermoelectric cooling applications. Some notable applications include telecommunications applications, low-noise amplifiers, and data communication line protection.

Working Principle

The SMZG3801BHE3/52 is a diode, meaning that it only allows current to flow in one direction, which is determined by the voltage and current level of the circuit. A fully functional diode only allows current to flow through its anode to cathode side - no current is allowed to flow from cathode to anode. When the voltage of the circuit is higher than the Zener voltage, the Zener diode is said to be in the breakdown region and current will flow in both directions.

In the breakdown region, the diode still works as a simple diode, allowing current to flow in one direction before it is reversed due to the higher voltage. This phenomenon is called theavalanche effect. The SMZG3801BHE3/52 diode is specialized in degrading this current to a certain level. This voltage-clamping feature enables the diode to regulate the voltage and current levels in the circuit and prevents it from damaging other components due to sudden surges.

Because the device alone can handle up to 3.0A current, it is capable of providing protection without the help of a Zener stabilizing transistor. Additionally, the built-in temperature protection feature safeguards the diode from being damaged by excessive temperature variation. Thus, in addition to voltage-regulating, the SMZG3801BHE3/52 is also suitable for current limiting, temperature regulation, and surge protection.

In conclusion, the SMZG3801BHE3/52 is a highly efficient single Zener diode device with a current rating of 3.0A, a voltage range of 6V-52V, and various applications such as voltage regulation, current limiting, temperature regulation and surge protection.
