Application Fields of BZT585B18T-7

BZT585B18T-7 is mainly used as voltage stabilizers in power supply circuits, as well as voltage limiting, over-voltage protection, transient voltage suppression, and other applications. It can also be used in the following specific applications:

• DC Converters: The BZT585B18T-7 is often used in DC-to-DC converters due to its low forward voltage drop and low leakage current. This helps to reduce power dissipated and power loss.
• Motor Controls: The BZT585B18T-7 is used in motor controllers for providing voltage protection and preventing over-voltage.
• Linear Regulators: BZT585B18T-7 can be used as a linear regulator in power supply circuits to provide a more accurate regulated output voltage.
• Switching Regulators and Load Disconnects: BZT585B18T-7 can be used in switching regulators and load disconnects to provide protection against over-voltage or to limit the maximum voltage output to a given level.
• Surge Protection: BZT585B18T-7 can be used as a surge protector, as it can suppress Transient Voltage over-shoots by clamping positive and/or negative surges.

Working Principle of BZT585B18T-7

The working principle of BZT585B18T-7 is very simple. It operates as a voltage regulator, by allowing a precise amount of current to flow through it in the forward direction, and restricting any excess current in the reverse direction. So, when the voltage across its terminals increases above a certain level (called the breakdown voltage or Zener voltage), the device will conduct and limit the voltage across its terminals to the breakdown voltage.

The Zener diode is also capable of conducting current in the reverse direction, provided the voltage across its two terminals is greater than the breakdown voltage. This process, known as Zener breakdown, is the most commonly used working principle of the Zener diode.

For BZT595B18T-7, the rated breakdown voltage is 18V, with a maximum power dissipation of 500mW (at a junction temperature of 25 degrees Celsius). It has a typical leakage current of 5mA at 1V and it can withstand a maximum voltage of 30V.

Conclusion

In conclusion, BZT585B18T-7 is a single Zener diode which can be used in various applications, such as DC converters, motor controls, linear regulators, switching regulators and load disconnects, and surge protection. The working principle of BZT585B18T-7 is quite simple – it operates as a voltage regulator, by allowing a precise amount of current to flow through it in the forward direction, and restricting any excess current in the reverse direction. By understanding the application field and working principle of BZT585B18T-7, we can use it to its full potential.
