VLZ3V0-GS08

The VLZ3V0-GS08 is a single Zener diode typically used for electro-static protection in high-accuracy systems. Its widely used in power electronics to prevent overvoltage or breakdown. This diode is designed to protect sensitive onboard components from voltage spikes or EMI (electromagnetic interference) signals. The VLZ3V0-GS08 has a forward voltage drop of 3V, a capacitance of 0.08pF and a current rating of 800mA. It is mainly used in the automotive, medical and industrial sectors. This Zener diode is a two terminal, two-state device. It allows current to flow in the forward direction, but blocks current in the reverse direction. The voltage level at which the current starts to flow in the reverse direction is called the breakdown voltage. The breakdown voltage of the VLZ3V0-GS08 is 3V. When the voltage across the diode is lower than this breakdown voltage, the diode will block any current from flowing. When the voltage across the diode exceeds the breakdown voltage, it allows the current to flow in the reverse direction. This is known as Zener breakdown. The capacitance of the VLZ3V0-GS08 is 0.08pF which is quite low. This helps to reduce its susceptibility to EMI signals and therefore makes it a good choice for protecting sensitive components from these signals. Furthermore, the diode has a high current rating of 800mA, which makes it suitable for use in automotive applications where large currents are required. Additionally, the VLZ3V0-GS08 has a relatively small physical size and can fit into tight spaces. In general, the VLZ3V0-GS08 Zener diode has a number of uses in the automotive, medical and industrial sectors. It can be used to protect sensitive components from voltage spikes or EMI signals, and its small size means it can fit into tight spaces. Furthermore, its low capacitance and high current rating make it suitable for a variety of applications.
