ZGL41-100A-E3/97

ZGL41-100A-E3/97 diodes belong to the Zener diode unit family. They are characterized by the energy they generate and their ability to regulate voltages and current between two circuit points. This specific combination of characteristics is particularly useful when creating a junction between two circuits that have different voltages. Furthermore, these diodes are also useful in voltage-regulating applications, such as in a voltage regulator.A Zener diode unit is a form of a semiconductor, which is a material used to create electrical circuits. In a Zener diode, the semiconductor material is doped with a substance like boron or phosphorus, which changes its conductivity. Doping changes the configuration of the semiconductor and alters its electrical properties. The Zener diode therefore has the ability to regulate voltage.The ZGL41-100A-E3/97 diode consists of two parts; the anode and the cathode. The anode is the positive terminal and the cathode is the negative terminal. When forward biased, current will flow from the anode to the cathode. However, if reverse biased, the current will be blocked until the applied voltage reaches a certain threshold. At that threshold, current begins to flow in the opposite direction, between the cathode and the anode. This is known as breakdown current, or the "Zener" effect.The ZGL41-100A-E3/97 diode is capable of regulating voltage up to 100 volts, with a breakdown voltage of 31 volts. Its overall power rating is 0.325 watts, its working temperature range is -65 to + 175 degrees Celsius, and its breakdown power dissipation (biased at 30 volts) is 51.4 mW. These characteristics make the ZGL41-100A-E3/97 the ideal choice for applications that require precision voltage regulation.In practice, the ZGL41-100A-E3/97 diode can be used to create a voltage regulator, which is a device used to maintain a stable voltage level. A Zener diode is usually used to create this type of regulator due to its ability to regulate both forward and reverse current. The ZGL41-100A-E3/97 diode is especially suitable for these types of applications.The ZGL41-100A-E3/97 diode can also be used in many other ways. For example, it can be used to protect sensitive electronic devices from overvoltage and provide a current limit in series with the device. In addition, it can be used as a temperature sensing element in certain applications, or as a rectifier diode.Overall, the ZGL41-100A-E3/97 diode is an excellent choice for a variety of different applications, such as voltage regulation, overvoltage protection, current limiting, and temperature sensing. Its robust design and precise voltage regulation capabilities make it an ideal choice for any application that requires precise voltage regulation.
