SZMMSZ4682T1G

Diodes - Zener - Single

The SZMMSZ4682T1G is a single Zener diode, which is commonly used in a wide range of different applications. It is a semiconductor diode, and its electrical characteristics enable it to perform a variety of functions, including rectification, voltage regulation, and protection against over-voltage.

A Zener diode is a particular type of semiconductor diode which operates in reverse bias, and allows current to flow in a reverse direction with a specific minimum breakdown voltage limit. This is because, when an electrical field is applied, the conduction path through the junction of the reverse-biased PN junction changes. Therefore, the SZMMSZ4682T1G is able to provide a reliable source of power in situations where sudden surge in voltage can cause damage to the underlying electrical systems.

Applications

The SZMMSZ4682T1G is mainly used in applications which require voltage regulation and protection against transients or noise. It is commonly used in AC/DC converters, power supplies, voltage regulators, and other power circuits. The diode is also suitable for low leakage current applications, such as high impedance amplifiers. Furthermore, it can be used in telecommunications and signal conditioning, as well as for reversing polarity of direct current, signal switching, and signal rotation.

Working Principle

The working principle of the SZMMSZ4682T1G is based on the PN junction diode, which allows current to flow through in one direction only. When voltage is applied to the diode, it becomes forward-biased, and current can flow through it. When a reverse voltage is applied, the current flow is blocked. However, when the voltage increases above a certain breakdown voltage, the electric field is strong enough to breach the depletion layer and enable the current to flow in a reverse direction.

Given its unique characteristics, the SZMMSZ4682T1G can be used to provide a reliable regulated voltage in a wide range of applications. Moreover, it provides protection against over-voltage, transients, and voltage spikes, making it an ideal choice for a variety of systems which need reliable and continuous power.
