BZG03C160-HM3-18

BZG03C160-HM3-18 is a single zener diode device designed to make it suitable for a wide variety of applications. It is a great choice for both professional and beginner engineers and hobbyists who need a diode of reliable and robust performance as part of their circuitry.

The working principle of a zener diode is rooted in the same principles of operation that conventional diodes follow. A current flows through the device from the anode to the cathode, with the anode being the more positive of the two electrodes. When the reversed bias voltage applied to the device begins to exceed the breakdown voltage, it causes the depletion region to decrease in width and creates a reverse flow of current. This current flow is known as “zener breakdown.”

The BZG03C160-HM3-18 is designed to operate in a wide range of applications. It can be used as a low-voltage limiter and as a voltage reference device. It is often used in power supply circuits, voltage regulator circuits, and in overvoltage protection circuits. It can also be used as a temperature sensor, providing reliable indications of the temperature of the circuit in which it is installed.
