UDZVTE-173.9B Discrete Semiconductor Products

The UDZVTE-173.9B is a type of diode known as a Zener diode which is specifically designed to operate in a reverse-biased electrical state and function as a voltage regulator by allowing current to flow in the reverse direction when a certain voltage value is exceeded. As part of the larger class of single diodes, this type of diode can be used for a variety of different applications in a variety of different circuits, such as in power supplies, transformers, voltage dividers and signal processing circuitry.

The UDZVTE-173.9B operates by allowing a specified amount of current to flow in the reverse direction, i.e. when the reverse voltage is exceeded, while the forward-bias voltage remains unchanged and the voltage stays exactly the same. This current is small enough that it does not damage the diode itself, yet it is able to perform the essential role of regulating the voltage. By regulating the voltage, it ensures that all other components connected to the circuit remain at the correct voltage, so that they are not damaged, and that the circuit is stable and has the desired output.

As a single-zener diode, the UDZVTE-173.9B can be used in a variety of applications. One of the most common uses is in the design of power converters, where the diode is used to provide a steady output voltage regardless of fluctuations in the input voltage. The diode can also be used in AC-DC rectifiers, voltage isolators, and other converters, and can even act as a surge protector, preventing damage caused by sudden surges in the input voltage. It is also suitable for use in motor control circuits, and as part of high power switching applications.

The UDZVTE-173.9B has a number of specific features that make it suitable for use in a variety of power applications. The diode has a high forward-bias voltage drop of 0.9V, a low reverse-bias voltage drop of 173.9V, and a very low leakage current of 2μA. This means that it is able to withstand higher voltages than many other types of diodes, making it ideal for use in high voltage environments. It also has a high current rating of 1.0A, allowing it to handle loads up to this value in order to maintain the desired output values.

In summary, the UDZVTE-173.9B is a single-zener diode specifically designed for use in reverse-biased electrical operations, such as regulating voltage and providing surge protection. Its specific features, including its high forward-bias voltage drop, low reverse-bias voltage drop, and high current rating, make it suitable for use in a variety of power applications. It can be used in power converters, AC-DC rectifiers, voltage isolators, motor control circuits, and other types of high-power switching applications, making it an invaluable component for any electrical system.
