ZPY6V2-TR

The ZPY6V2-TR is a single Zener diode, typically used for voltage regulation. It has a wide range of applications, and usually works under low power consumption. The ZPY6V2-TR has a reverse breakdown voltage of 6.2V and a maximum total power dissipation of 500mW, making it ideal for use in linear voltage regulator circuits.

Features

• Low reverse breakdown voltage: 6.2V
• Maximum total power dissipation: 500mW
• Applicable temperature range: -50 to +150/-55 to +150℃
• High surge rating: 4W
• Good high temperature stability and excellent pulse response yield

Working Principle

The ZPY6V2-TR works on a phenomenon known as reverse breakdown voltage. When a diode is forward biased, it acts as a short circuit, allowing current to flow through it easily. When the diode is reverse biased, a potential difference must be reached in order for current to flow through it. This is called the reverse breakdown voltage. When the ZPY6V2-TR reaches its reverse breakdown voltage, current flows through it, and the voltage across it stays the same. This allows for the ZPY6V2-TR to be used for voltage regulation purposes.

Applications

The ZPY6V2-TR is widely used for voltage regulation in low power circuits and systems. It is commonly used as a voltage limiter, voltage stabilizer, overvoltage protection, and avalanche protection. Additionally, it can be used in regulated power supplies, automotive electronics, and telecommunications equipment. Thanks to its high surge rating, it can also be used in circuits that require fast reboots and ultra-reliable surge protection.

Conclusion

The ZPY6V2-TR single Zener diode is a widely used component for voltage regulation in low power circuits. It has a low reverse breakdown voltage of 6.2V and a total power dissipation of 500mW. It has a wide range of applications, such as regulated power supplies, automotive electronics, and telecommunications equipment. The ZPY6V2-TR works on the principle of reverse breakdown voltage, in which current flows through the diode once it reaches its threshold voltage.
