Diodes - Zener - Single

The BZG05C6V8-HM3-08 is a single zener diode that is designed to operate as a voltage regulator, as well as serve as a protection device from over-voltage conditions. It is constructed using two silicon layers that are sandwiched around metalized alumina sheets and designed with a through-hole leaded configuration that is perfect for quick and easy installations that require the highest levels of performance.

This zener diode is designed with a maximum operating voltage of 6.8V, a maximum reverse power dissipation of 200mW and a maximum surge current of 500mA, making it ideal for a variety of applications in which voltage regulation or over-voltage protection is a must. It is typically used in low-power, low-voltage DC or AC applications, or in any other application in which the use of a standard diode is required.

Application Field

The BZG05C6V8-HM3-08 single zener diode is typically used to provide over-voltage protection and voltage regulation in a wide variety of applications. These include AC/DC adapters, DC/DC converters, automotive systems, industrial systems, as well as in many other types of electronic systems that require voltage regulation or protection from over-voltage conditions.

The zener diode is also commonly used in power supplies to provide over-voltage protection and to regulate the output voltage. In some applications, this zener diode may also be used in combination with resistors and other components to form voltage-limiting circuits. This can help to ensure that the operating voltage of the system does not exceed the maximum rating of the components being used.

Working Principle

The working principle of the BZG05C6V8-HM3-08 single zener diode is based on its ability to create an electrical field when electric current is passed through it. This creates a forward voltage drop as the electrical field repels the electrons, thus creating a drop in the voltage across the diode. By adjusting the current, the voltage drop can be adjusted accordingly.

When this voltage drop is greater than the zener voltage of the diode, it will begin to break down, allowing current to flow in the opposite direction and creating the voltage regulation or over-voltage protection that the diode is designed for. The voltage drop remains stable over a particular range of current, allowing the diode to act as a protective device.

When the current flow is over-voltage, the diode stops the flow of current, protecting the system and components from damage caused by the excessive voltage.

Conclusion

The BZG05C6V8-HM3-08 single zener diode is designed with a maximum operating voltage of 6.8V, a maximum reverse power dissipation of 200mW, and a maximum surge current of 500mA. It is commonly used to provide over-voltage protection and voltage regulation in a variety of applications, including AC/DC adapters, DC/DC converters, automotive systems, industrial systems, and more. It works by creating an electrical field to cause a voltage drop, and when the voltage drop is greater than the zener voltage of the diode, it will begin to break down, creating the voltage regulation or over-voltage protection.
