BZG05C8V2-HE3-TR3

Diodes - Zener - Single

The BZG05C8V2-HE3-TR3 is a single zener diode from Diodes Incorporated. The diode is part of a family of zener diodes that includes the BZG05 series.

Application Field

Zener diodes are used in many applications, such as voltage regulator circuits, transient voltage suppression, over-voltage protection circuits, and low-power switching circuits. The BZG05C8V2-HE3-TR3 is specifically designed for use in low power applications, such as computing and telecom equipment.

Working Principle

Zener diodes are a type of rectifier diode with a unique property. Unlike regular diodes, zener diodes are designed to operate in reverse-bias conditions. This means that, if the applied voltage is higher than the zener voltage, the diode will not become forward-biased and conduct current. Instead, the voltage will remain constant, regardless of the applied voltage. This phenomenon is known as Zener breakdown. By using Zener breakdown, the BZG05C8V2-HE3-TR3 can be used to provide a constant, low voltage output in applications where the input voltage may vary.

Analogs

The BZG05C8V2-HE3-TR3 is a single schottky diode, but it is part of a family of schottkys that includes the BZG05 series. Examples of other analogs in the series include the BZG05C9V1-HE3-GT3, BZG05C10V0-HE3-GR3, and BZG05C11V9-HE3-GT3. Each of these diodes differ in their parameters, such as their maximum operating temperature range, breakdown voltage and maximum forward voltage.

Conclusion

The BZG05C8V2-HE3-TR3 is a single zener diode from Diodes Incorporated. This type of diode can be used in many applications, such as voltage regulator circuits, transient voltage suppression, over-voltage protection circuits, and low-power switching circuits. Additionally, a range of analogs are available for specific applications. Zener diodes operate using Zener breakdown, allowing them to remain at a constant voltage, regardless of the applied voltage.
