AZ23C51-HE3-18

The AZ23C51-HE3-18 is a diode array specifically designed to provide a low-power, low-voltage drop, low-cost solution for circuit protection in computer and telecom applications.

Its most common application is to protect circuits and components in devices exposed to transients, such as computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices. The AZ23C51-HE3-18 is a low voltage drop device capable of suppressing transients from the line source and providing protection for the circuit.

The AZ23C51-HE3-18 diode array has a symmetric structure with two series pairs of diodes connected in a bridge configuration. This configuration causes a zener diode in the circuit, thus providing low-power line protection and improved immunity to ESD pulses.

The AZ23C51-HE3-18 diode array also uses a special Zener diode with a current limiting network to reduce the power loss during operation. This design offers high efficiency by keeping power loss to a minimum. The diodes are connected in such a way that the voltage drop is spread out evenly over the entire two series pairs, eliminating the need for large series resistors, which can add to the cost of the product.

The AZ23C51-HE3-18 diode arrays are available in a variety of package styles including surface-mount and through-hole, depending on the application. The surface mount and through-hole diodes are easy to install and provide a flexible and cost-effective solution. The AZ23C51-HE3-18 can also be combined with other components to provide higher power protection and improved performance.

The AZ23C51-HE3-18 diode array is a low-power and low-voltage drop solution for circuit protection that is easy to install and provides maximum protection from transients. Its symmetrical structure provides improved ESD protection, while the Zener diode network helps reduce power loss. The device is available in a variety of packaging styles for added flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
