BZM55C9V1-TR

The BZM55C9V1-TR is a single Zener diode developed for applications in the consumer electronics, military, and other industrial markets. The device is designed to protect against voltage spikes and is often used in circuits regulating current and voltage in motor controls, switching supplies, and other industrial applications. It also finds use in consumer electronics where it is used to protect against negative voltage transients.

The BZM55C9V1-TR is constructed of an annealed silicon diode which is surrounded by an encapsulant that isolates it from environmental contaminants. The diode has two leads attached to its cathode end, one grounded and the other connected to a voltage source. When connected to the voltage source, the diode will act like a voltage regulator and will start to conduct current when the voltage exceeds its rated breakdown voltage.

The diode is designed so that when the voltage reaches the device’s breakdown voltage, the current through the device will increase dramatically. This allows the device to handle negative voltage transients or spikes which cannot be handled by standard diodes. Furthermore, the device will limit the current in the circuit by limiting the amount of voltage it passes.

The BZM55C9V1-TR provides reliable operation in the presence of transient and surge voltages. It has a breakdown voltage of 5.5V and is rated for 20mA of continuous current. The device can handle up to 200V transient voltage at 0.1sec duration and more than 120mA at 10msec of pulse duration without breaking down.

The device is also resistant to normal breakdown due to thermal effects. The device is also able to withstand very low ambient temperature, making it suitable for use in various harsh environments. It can also withstand reverse voltages up to 75V which make it suitable for use in reverse battery applications.

In summary, the BZM55C9V1-TR single Zener diode is a reliable and versatile device ideal for a variety of applications. It has excellent surge and transient voltage handling capabilities, as well as low thermal breakdown, reverse voltage protection, and low ambient temperature operation. This makes the BZM55C9V1-TR an ideal choice for a variety of commercial, military, and industrial applications where precision control and protection of circuits is a necessity.
