VLZ6V2-GS18

The operating principle of the VLZ6V2-GS18 Diode is simple. It is based on the Zener effect, which occurs when the voltage applied to a diode exceeds its reverse breakdown voltage. This causes a large current spike to occur, which is passed through the diode and dissipates, thus protecting the transistor or other components in the circuit.

The VLZ6V2-GS18 diode has an improved Zener breakdown voltage over traditional Zener diodes, which makes it suitable for use in circuits with higher voltages. This type of diode can be used in high voltage and medium voltage circuits, such as power supplies and surge protectors. The Zener breakdown voltage of the VLZ6V2-GS18 diode is 7.2V, which is higher than the typical ratings of 5.6V to 6.4V for a typical Zener diode.

The VLZ6V2-GS18 diode is available in a variety of package sizes and can be used in a wide range of applications. It is suitable for applications requiring low power dissipation, such as noise suppression and transient voltage suppression. This diode can also be used in rectifier circuits and in power management applications. It is an excellent choice for applications that require reverse voltage protection.

In summary, the VLZ6V2-GS18 Diode is a useful and versatile device that can be used in a variety of applications. It is suitable for voltage regulation, surge protection, and noise suppression in a variety of electrical circuits. With its improved Zener breakdown voltage, it can be used in circuits with higher voltages, making it an ideal choice for many applications.
