Diodes are an essential component in most electronics circuits, as they are used to control the flow of electrical current and can prevent the flow of current in one direction. Zener diodes, in particular, are used to regulate the voltage across a circuit. A UDZSTE-176.2B diode is a single Zener diode designed to operate in the 176.2V range. It is an ideal solution for voltage regulation in industrial, consumer and automotive applications.

A Zener diode is a type of diode with an intentional reverse breakdown voltage. When the voltage across the diode exceeds the breakdown voltage, reverse current begins to flow and the voltage across it remains virtually constant. This breakdown voltage can be controlled by choosing the type of semiconductor used. The UDZSTE-176.2B diode is a silicon Zener diode which can operate at a fixed voltage of 176.2V with the appropriate series resistance.

The UDZSTE-176.2B diode can be used in a wide range of applications due to its fixed, reliable breakdown voltage. The fixed voltage makes it ideal for voltage regulation in consumer and industrial electronics, automotive equipment, and other applications where a fixed voltage is required. Its small size and low weight make it suitable for use in portable and handheld devices. Additionally, its robust design ensures a long life and high reliability in harsh operating conditions such as extreme temperature and vibration.

The working principle of the UDZSTE-176.2B diode is based on the principle of avalanche breakdown. The diode is constructed with a heavily doped p-n junction that is surrounded by a dielectric material. When a forward voltage is applied across the diode, the electric field near the junction becomes strong enough to cause electrons to accelerate and collide with atoms, creating electron-hole pairs. This phenomenon is known as avalanche breakdown and the voltage at which it occurs is the Zener voltage.

Once avalanche breakdown is reached, the potential barrier at the p-n junction is lowered, allowing a large reverse current to flow through the diode. This current is limited only by the series resistance of the diode, making the UDZSTE-176.2B an ideal solution for voltage regulation. The fixed reverse breakdown voltage ensures that the voltage across the diode remains at a fixed level, regardless of the magnitude of the forward current.

The UDZSTE-176.2B diode is an ideal solution for applications requiring reliable voltage regulation. Its small size and low weight make it suitable for use in handheld and portable devices. Additionally, its robust design ensures a long life and high reliability in harsh operating conditions. Its fixed voltage and low series resistance are ideal for voltage regulation applications in consumer and industrial electronics, automotive equipment, and other applications.
