TZMC7V5-M-08

The TZMC7V5-M-08 is a single zener diode of the power series from Diodes Incorporated. It has a maximum power dissipation rating of 250 mW and is designed to be used in voltage regulation, transient suppression, and reverse bias protection applications. In voltage regulation applications, the TZMC7V5-M-08 is designed to function as a voltage-limiting device, regulating the output voltage to hold a predetermined value regardless of the input voltage. The device can be used as a current-limiting element to ensure that the amount of available current never exceeds a certain limit. The device can also be used as a reverse bias protection element, blocking excessive voltage from passing through the diode and damaging electronic components or circuit boards.In transient suppression applications, the TZMC7V5-M-08 serves as an energy-absorbing element, limiting voltage transients (spikes in voltage) and providing protection against electrical overstress and equipment damage. When a high voltage transient occurs, the zener diode clamps the voltage to a predetermined level so that the sensitivity of the circuit components is not exceeded.The TZMC7V5-M-08 diode\'s working principle is based on the "Zener Breakdown" phenomenon, a process in which the diode\'s internal resistance is temporarily reduced when the diode is exposed to a voltage above the device\'s breakdown voltage (VZ). When the Zener voltage (VZ) is exceeded, a small current flows through the diode, and the voltage across the diode is clamped to the VZ value. The TZMC7V5-M-08 also features a unique "trimmed Zener" design that allows the user to fine-tune the desired voltage by adjusting the Zener voltage of the device. A precision resistor is included in the diode which allows users to trim the breakdown voltage of the device to the desired value. In summary, the TZMC7V5-M-08 single zener diode from Diodes Incorporated is designed for use in voltage regulation, transient suppression, and reverse bias protection applications. It features a maximum power dissipation rating of 250 mW and a "trimmed Zener" design for fine-tuning the breakdown voltage of the device. The diode\'s working principle is based on the Zener Breakdown phenomenon, reducing the device\'s internal resistance when exposed to voltages above the breakdown voltage.
