SZNZ3F5V1T1G

Diodes - Zener - Single

The SZNZ3F5V1T1G is a single Zener diode in a SOT-23 package. It is a type of diode that works in reverse breakdown and has a fixed, reverse-blocking voltage.

Application Field

The SZNZ3F5V1T1G is primarily used for voltage regulation. The diode will act as a regulator for the voltage supplied to the circuit, creating a stable and consistent voltage level. It can also be used as a controller for car power supplies as well as voltage limiters and transient voltage suppression devices. The SZNZ3F5V1T1G is also ideal for noise mitigation purposes, where unwanted signals are blocked or parts of the waveform are allowed to be shown, depending on the application.

Working Principle

The working principle of the SZNZ3F5V1T1G single Zener diode is based on the voltage drop in the reverse direction. When the diode is forward biased and a current passes through it, it acts like a normal diode and allows for a low resistance current flow. When the diode is reverse biased, there is an electric field that has enough force to break the reverse barrier and a voltage drop will be observed. This voltage drop is called the Zener voltage, which is a very important characteristic of this type of diode. The fixed voltage on the SZNZ3F5V1T1G is 5V and the maximum reverse current is 2buA at 25°C. This ensures that the diode can handle any voltage surges that may be present in the circuit.

The SZNZ3F5V1T1G single Zener diode is suitable for many applications, ranging from voltage regulator, voltage limiter, noise mitigation, and transient voltage suppression. This diode is an easy to implement and reliable solution for these applications.
