Diodes - Zener - Single

The BZG03C13-HM3-08 is a single Zener diode designed to protect electrical equipment against voltage surges. It is a semiconductor component designed to provide a stable reference voltage, allowing electrical components and circuits to function as intended. In addition, the diode provides a mechanism for controlling the current in a circuit, allowing electricity to flow in only one direction.

Application Field

The BZG03C13-HM3-08 is especially useful in electronics where fluctuation in voltage needs to be controlled, or where electrical components need to be protected from overvoltage or peak current. Common applications include surge protection devices (SPDs), power supplies, TV/monitor/projector protection circuits, and computer and server power supplies.

Working Principle

A Zener diode operates on the principle of a reverse biased PN junction. When a reverse bias is applied to the diode, its depletion region (which is an area with a reduced concentration of mobile charge carriers, i.e., electrons and holes) widens and creates a very low resistance path for current flow. This reduces the breakdown voltage of the diode and allows it to regulate the voltage on its output. The BZG03C13-HM3-08 is designed for voltage regulation, providing a stable reference voltage for protection against overvoltage and peak current.

The diode’s regulating characteristics are determined by its zener voltage, which is the voltage at which the diode will begin to conduct in the reverse biased direction. The zener voltage of the BZG03C13-HM3-08 is 13-Volt, allowing it to provide protection against a number of voltages and current levels. The device also has a high power rating of 500 milliwatts, allowing it to handle more power than the conventional power rating of 400 milliwatts.

The BZG03C13-HM3-08 also has a high surge current rating of 8-Amps and a peak pulse current of 8-Amps, allowing it to handle higher surge currents than the typical 1-Amp rating of a conventional diode. The diode also has a reverse recovery time of less than 50 nanoseconds, meaning it is capable of quickly resetting itself in the event of a surge or peak current.

In addition, the diode has an operating temperature range from -25℃ to +125℃, meaning it can be used in a variety of temperatures. Finally, the BZG03C13-HM3-08 has a low forward voltage drop of 0.7V and a low reverse leakage current of 1.0 µA at 25℃, meaning it can efficiently regulate electrical signals.

Conclusion

The BZG03C13-HM3-08 is a single Zener diode designed for voltage regulation and surge protection. It has a high power rating, a high surge current rating, a low forward voltage drop and a low reverse leakage current. In addition, the diode has a wide operating temperature range and a reverse recovery time of less than 50 nanoseconds. This makes it suitable for a number of applications including SPDs, power supplies, TV/monitor/projector protection circuits, and computer and server power supplies.
