BZG05C13-HE3-TR3

Diodes - Zener - Single

BZG05C13-HE3-TR3 is a component that belongs to a special type of diode called a Zener diode. Zener diodes are sometimes referred to as avalanche diodes, because they are designed to be able to withstand a high level of voltage or electrical current before they break down and start conducting electricity. As with any diode, they are also able to block a certain amount of electrical current, but they are also able to withstand much higher electrical voltages than a regular diode.

The BZG05C13-HE3-TR3 has a breakdown voltage of 13V, which means it can withstand a voltage of up to 13V before it breaks down and starts conducting electricity. The component can also handle up to 3A of current. This makes it suitable for use in a wide range of applications, such as in power supplies, chargers and other electronic circuits.

BZG05C13-HE3-TR3 also has a fairly low forward voltage drop of just 0.25V. This makes it suitable for use in circuits that require high levels of efficiency and low power dissipation.

The working principle of BZG05C13-HE3-TR3 is relatively simple. It works like a regular diode, allowing an electric current to pass through it in one direction while blocking the current in the opposite direction. However, when the voltage exceeds a certain threshold (13V in the case of this component), the diode breaks down and starts conducting electricity in both directions.

This breakdown of the diode can be used to protect other components in the circuit from overvoltage. When the voltage approaches its breakdown threshold, it will cause the current to drop and protect other components in the circuit from being damaged. This is why the BZG05C13-HE3-TR3 is often used in power supplies, chargers and other circuits where a sudden increase in voltage could damage the other components.

BZG05C13-HE3-TR3 is just one of many types of Zener diodes on the market and can be used for many different applications. Its relatively low forward voltage drop and high breakdown voltage make it suitable for many different circuits, from power supplies and chargers to more specialized applications.
