BZG03C200-HM3-08

The BZG03C200-HM3-08 is a single Zener diode designed specifically for use in a variety of circumstances. As with all Zener diodes, this device is used to limit voltages. Basically, it works by conducting the current from the anode side to the cathode side if the voltage across the diode reaches a certain point.

The BZG03C200-HM3-08 comes in a small lower power surface mount package and is specifically designed for use in circuits that require a low power consumption. The device uses a Vz of 20V and its maximum power dissipation is 500mW, which makes it ideal for power limiting applications where power consumption needs to be kept to a minimum. Additionally, the part offers an excellent thermal stability, allowing it to be used in varying conditions.

The design of the BZG03C200-HM3-08 makes it a viable option for use in voltage regulation, current limiting and reverse power protection applications. By connecting the diode across the power supply, the device can be used to protect other components from voltage spikes by limiting the voltage to a predetermined level. The device can also be used in a current limiter circuit, in which the diode is connected in series with the load and its breakdown voltage is used to limit the current in the circuit.

Another great use for the BZG03C200-HM3-08 is in reverse power protection applications. In this type of application, the device is connected in parallel with the load, and it limits the Reverse Voltage (VR) to its rated voltage. This ensures that the voltage across the load does not exceed its maximum rating, protecting it from overvoltage. Additionally, the diode also ensures that any current that is flowing between the Load and the Power Source will be conducted in the forward direction only.

In summary, the BZG03C200-HM3-08 is a small, low power surface mount Zener diode which is well suited for voltage regulation and current limiting applications. The device offers good thermal stability, and its maximum power dissipation of 500mW makes it a good option for applications where power consumption needs to be kept to a minimum. Additionally, it is also suitable for use in reverse power protection applications, ensuring that the voltage across the load does not exceed its maximum rating.
