BZT52-B39X

Diodes - Zener - Single comprise a range of semiconductors suited for a variety of applications. The BZT52-B39X is a type of Zener diode that is particularly well suited for ripple voltage reduction and voltage clamping in battery powered or logic circuits. The BZT52-B39X has a wide operating temperature range of -65°C to 150°C, and voltage range of 39V. It has a low power dissipation of 5 mW at 100 mA, making it a great choice for applications with a low-power budget.

A Zener diode is a two-terminal electronic component, primarily used as a voltage regulator. When forward biased, current flows through the diode normally, but when reverse biased the Zener breakdown voltage is reached, the diode goes into a conducting state, and acts as a voltage regulator. The Zener breakdown voltage, which defines the level of voltage regulation, is specified in the semiconductor’s datasheet. For the BZT52-B39X, this voltage is specified as 39V.

The BZT52-B39X can be used in a variety of applications, but is mostly used for voltage regulation. This can include clamping or reducing voltage line noise, protecting against over-voltage or under-voltage conditions, and providing a stable reference voltage for digital systems. It is suitable for DC circuits, and can also be used for low-frequency AC line voltage regulation. When used for voltage regulation, a Zener diode works more effectively when it is connected in parallel with a resistor.

When choosing the right Zener diode for a given application, there are many factors to consider. Apart from the voltage and temperature ranges, the power dissipation rating of the diode must also be considered. This is the maximum wattage a diode can handle without burning out, and is often measured in mW. The BZT52-B39X is rated for a maximum power dissipation of 5mW at 100mA, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of applications.

In addition to the power handling capabilities, the Zener diode’s maximum leakage current should also be taken into account. This is the amount of current that can leak through the diode without affecting its operation, and is measured in mA. The BZT52-B39X has a maximum leakage current of 1uA, making it perfect for preventing power leakage and protecting sensitive components.

The BZT52-B39X is a great choice for applications that require voltage regulation and ripple voltage reduction. Its low power dissipation, wide operating temperature range and maximum leakage current make it the perfect fit for a variety of DC and low-frequency AC voltage regulation applications. With the right selection of components, this Zener diode can protect components, regulate voltage levels and reduce line noise.
