AZ23C15 RFG Application Field and Working Principle

The AZ23C15 RFG is a series of 25V, 3W, 2-pin, Black Flag diodes that protect against overvoltage and overcurrent. These diodes provide the protection needed in high power AC/DC power supplies to protect against short circuits or other overcurrent or overvoltage conditions. The diodes are designed to support a wide range of supply voltages and currents and are optimized for use in solar panels, wind turbines, and other renewable energy systems. They are available in a variety of package sizes and have built-in thermal protection.

The AZ23C15 RFG diodes are symmetrically connected to the supply voltage and ground by two leads and their working principle is based on breakdown voltages and higher saturation current characteristics than Zener diodes. When the voltage between the pins exceeds a certain voltage (the breakdown voltage), the diode is forced to conduct. This allows the current to be limited to a safe level, protecting the device from overvoltage damage. The breakdown voltage of the AZ23C15 RFG diodes is 25V.

The diodes also incorporate reverse-blocking characteristics to prevent short-circuiting of the supply voltage. If a voltage reversal occurs, the diode will block the current and prevent damage to the system components. It also has a lower forward voltage drop than regular Zener diodes which results in less wasted power.

The AZ23C15 RFG diodes are suitable for use in applications where a wide range of overvoltage and overcurrent protection is required. These include applications such as motor control, motorsport, and power conversion circuits. They are ideal for protection in automotive, military, and industrial applications and are useful in digital circuits due to their low forward voltage drop.

The AZ23C15 RFG diodes are low cost and easy to install so they can be used to provide robust protection for a variety of applications. They are also RoHS compliant, which makes them environmentally friendly and ensures compliance with the latest environmental standards.

The AZ23C15 RFG diodes are a reliable and cost-effective way to protect circuits and devices from overvoltage and overcurrent conditions. They are ideal for use in a variety of applications and provide the protection needed to ensure safety and reliability.
