TFZVTR2.7B Discrete Semiconductor Products

The TFZVTR2.7B is a single Zener diode, which is a form of diode designed to protect circuits from overvoltage and to regulate the current in circuits. It belongs to a family of diodes known as voltage regulator diodes, which have become important electronic components in a variety of applications.

A diode is an electronic component that allows current to flow in one direction, but not in the other. There are different types of diodes, each with a particular application. Zener diodes, of which the TFZVTR2.7B is an example, are voltage regulator diodes which are placed in circuits to protect them from excessive voltage. A Zener diode acts as a voltage ‘clamper’, preventing the voltage in a circuit from going above a certain level. This makes them particularly useful for protecting sensitive circuits from overvoltage.

The TFZVTR2.7B is a single Zener diode designed for applications that require high-temperature operation, with a permissible operating range of -55 to +150°C. It has a maximum voltage of 2.7v and a maximum power dissipation of 350mW. It is also designed to provide excellent clamping performance for static or dynamic transients.

The working principle of the TFZVTR2.7B is based on the Zener effect. When the Zener diode is connected in the ‘reverse bias’ direction (with the anode connected to the negative terminal and the cathode connected to the positive terminal), the electric field across it will cause electrons to be displaced across the junction. This ‘Zener breakdown’ causes a sudden increase in the current through the diode. The diode then acts to limit the maximum voltage of the circuit.

The TFZVTR2.7B is ideal for use in any application that requires high-temperature operation and protection from overvoltage. It is especially suited for use in automotive, digital, and optical circuitry, as well as telecom, computer, and consumer electronics applications.

In summary, the TFZVTR2.7B is a single Zener diode designed to protect circuits from voltage overload, while also providing excellent clamping performance during static and dynamic transients. Its operating temperature range is -55 to +150°C and its maximum voltage is 2.7v. It is a versatile and reliable component, ideal for use in a variety of applications.
