A Zener diode, such as the BZG04-110-HM3-18, is a special type of solid state diode that conducts in the reverse direction when exposed to a certain level of reverse voltage. With forward bias, the diode functions like any other rectifier diode. But when subjected to a reverse voltage that is above its rated breakdown voltage, these devices become highly conductive, allowing current to flow in the reverse direction. The BZG04-110-HM3-18 is a single diode and is commonly used for voltage regulation, power supply protection, voltage spike and surge absorption, and circuit clamping.

The BZG04-110-HM3-18 operates on the avalanche effect. When the reverse voltage applied to the diode exceeds the specified breakdown voltage, an avalanche occurs. This involves large numbers of electrons advancing towards the cathode, with each electron gaining energy when it passes by the atom lattice in the diode material. The electrons gain so much energy that they create new electron-hole pairs, leading to an increase in current flowing through the diode. This effect has the added benefit of providing a predictable and stable breakdown voltage.

In the case of the BZG04-110-HM3-18, it can only handle 110 volts of reverse voltage and has a maximum regulated power supply current of 10 mA. Applying too much voltage or current to the diode can cause permanent damage and cause instability in the circuit it is connected to. That is why it is important to choose the right diode for the application, and understand its capabilities.

The BZG04-110-HM3-18 single diode is used in a variety of applications. It is commonly used for voltage regulation, power supply protection, surge absorption, and circuit clamps. For voltage regulation, the diode is used to create a constant, stable output voltage, such as those required to power ICs, LEDs, and other sensitive devices. To protect power supplies, the diode clamps down on any surge, spike, or overvoltage, protecting all components connected to the power supply. For absorption, the diode absorbs all the excess energy that is generated, while also protecting the circuit from damage.

For circuit clamps, the BZG04-110-HM3-18 protects sensitive circuits from damage by automatically clamping the voltage output. This prevents scorching and burning of components, ensuring the safety of the circuit and the device it is powering. The diode also allows for certain levels of current flow in a circuit, making it important for circuit design, analog devices, and even digital circuits.

The BZG04-110-HM3-18 offers protection that is not provided by traditional diodes. It can easily handle transients, surges, and spikes, and provides a consistent voltage output that makes it ideal for powering and protecting electronics.
