ZPY11-TR

Diodes - Zener - Single

The ZPY11-TR is a single Zener diode designed for use in circuit protection applications. It is a medium-power diode capable of providing up to 0.06A (6mA) current handling. The device features a low leakage current and a low reverse leakage current, making it suitable for use in high voltage applications.

The ZPY11-TR is a leaded device, meaning that it has leads or pins that can be connected to other parts of the circuit board. The device has a maximum forward voltage of 28 volts and a reverse voltage of 5 volts. It also has a breakdown voltage of 4.7 volts. The Zener voltage (VZ) of the device is 11V with a chosen tolerance of 5%.

Zener diodes are used to protect circuits from voltage spikes, voltage drops, and other electrical transients. In this case, the ZPY11-TR would be used to prevent a voltage spike greater than 5 volts, or a voltage drop below 4.7 volts, from damaging parts of the circuit. When the voltage exceeds 5 volts or drops below 4.7 volts, the diode conducts, clamping the voltage to 11V. This is the working principle of a Zener diode.

The ZPY11-TR is suitable for environments where high temperatures are expected. The device has a maximum reverse operating temperature of 175°C. It is also certified to the JEDEC standards, meaning it is suitable for use in automotive and consumer electronic circuits.

The ZPY11-TR can be used in a wide range of applications, including consumer electronics, automotive electronics, communications, and medical equipment. It can also be used in the protection or regulation of DC or AC voltages. It can be used in either AC or DC circuits where protection from voltage transients is desired. The ZPY11-TR is also useful in applications involving DC motors, such as in the power conditioning of DC motor drives.

In summary, the ZPY11-TR is a single Zener diode designed for use in circuit protection applications. It has a high voltage rating and a low leakage current, making it suitable for high voltage applications. It can also handle up to 6mA of current, making it suitable for use in medium-power applications. The device has a maximum forward voltage of 28 volts and a reverse voltage of 5 volts, with a breakdown voltage of 4.7 volts and a Zener voltage of 11V. It can be used in AC and DC applications, as well as automotive and consumer electronic circuits, for protecting circuits from overvoltage and undervoltage.
