Z4KE180-E3/73 diodes are among the most popular Zener diode models available on the market. Zener diodes function as a type of semiconductor device used to regulate or maintain voltages at desired levels. The Z4KE180-E3/73 Zener diode is a single diode device with a low power rating and a moderately high voltage rating. It is normally used for low current applications.

These diodes are constructed from heavily doped p-n type semiconductor material. This material provides a low resistance to electrons, allowing them to flow easily in one direction. However, the resistance to current flow in the reverse direction is very large. When the reverse voltage applied to this diode is increased, it begins to “breakdown”; a phenomenon known as Zener breakdown. During Zener breakdown, current is able to flow easily in the reverse direction. This allows the diode to regulate the voltage applied to the device at the rated breakdown voltage.

The Z4KE180-E3/73 series diodes are designed to have a reverse breakdown voltage of 180 volts. This breakdown voltage is very important in determining the current limiting value and voltage regulating value of the part. The breakdown voltage also affects the power dissipation of the diode and ultimately limits the maximum current that can flow through the diode; this is known as the maximum power dissipation rating. Thus, it is important to use a diode with an appropriate breakdown voltage for your application.

In addition to regulating voltage, these diodes are also often used as a protective device. By allowing only a certain amount of current to pass through it, any excess current is effectively blocked and prevented from entering the system or circuit. This is especially important for circuits that require very precise and stable voltages. In such cases, the Z4KE180-E3/73 series diodes can act as a safeguard that ensures any over-voltage or short-circuit does not cause damage to the circuit.

Overall, the Z4KE180-E3/73 series diodes are an essential component for any low power voltage regulation and protection circuit. With its moderately high breakdown voltage and low power rating, these diodes are perfect for a wide variety of applications. Their simple construction makes them easy to install and use. In a world where precise voltages and currents are more important than ever, the Z4KE180-E3/73 series diodes will continue to prove their worth.
