BZW03D30-TAP

Diodes - Zener - Single

The BZW03D30-TAP is a single Zener diode capable of providing protection to a circuit from transient voltage protection and overvoltage protection. It is a very versatile device and is suitable for a variety of applications such as overvoltage protection in power supply systems, level-shifting and control in general logic circuits, and transient suppression in automotive circuits.

The diode is made up of two elements: an anode and a cathode. The anode is connected to a power source and the cathode is connected to a circuit. The device has an operating voltage range of 3.0 to 30 V and a peak power dissipation rating of 200 mW. The leakage current is minimal even at high temperatures, making it reliable for applications that require low energy losses. The device also has a high surge current capability, which makes it suitable for surge protection applications.

The working principle on which the device works is simple. When a transient voltage or overvoltage is applied to the device, the anode-cathode junction operates in its Zener breakdown region. This allows most of the excess voltage to be diverted away from the sensitive components in the circuit by means of the Zener breakdown process. The current in the circuit is then limited, preventing any damage to the sensitive components.

The BZW03D30-TAP is a versatile and reliable device that can provide effective protection to a circuit from transient voltage protection and overvoltage protection. The device is easy to install and has a low power dissipation rating and a high surge current capability. It is suitable for use in a wide range of applications where overvoltage protection is required to protect sensitive components from damage due to excess voltage.
