BZW04-136BHR1G

TVS - Diodes

Transient voltage suppression diodes, commonly referred to as TVS diodes, are a special class of semiconductor diodes that help protect device circuitry connected to it from high-energy transients such as electrical surges. These transients can be caused by a variety of causes such lightnning strikes, power glitches, and electrostatic discharges. They are an important part of many applications in order to protect sensitive electronic components from electrical damage.

The BZW04-136BHR1G is a unidirectional, bidirectional (dual direction), or bi-directional (tri-directional) TVS diode, used to help protect device circuitry from electrical transients. It is designed to clamp voltage rises and offer protection against both ESD and electrical transients, and is commonly used for protection from power surges in industrial and consumer products including those used in audio/video applications.

The BZW04-136BHR1G is a low-power, high voltage transient suppressor and features a low reverse leakage current of 0.5μA at 5V and an operating voltage range from 3V to 24V typically. The device is packaged in a small SOT-23 package and can handle peak pulse current up to 14A for data line applications. The device is rated for a maximum working voltage of 6.2V and can clamp damaging transients at a lower voltage, depending on the amount of energy applied to the device.

The BZW04-136BHR1G is designed to clamp voltage rises and offer protection against both ESD and electrical transients. The working principle of the device is based on its ability to absorb the voltage spike and convert it into heat, thereby preventing the voltage from propagating further into the device circuitry. Upon the occurrence of a voltage spike, the device will divert the energy away from the remainder of the circuit, allowing the voltage to dissipate quickly, thus protecting the device from the harmful effects of an electrical surge.

The BZW04-136BHR1G is used in a wide range of applications, including automotive, computing, communication, consumer electronics, aerospace, medical, and industrial applications. It can be used for protection in power supplies, USB ports, and other consumer electronics devices as well as for protection against ESD, EFT, and lightning induced voltages in automotive systems.

In summary, the BZW04-136BHR1G is a low-power, high voltage transient suppressor used to help protect device circuitry from electrical transients. It is commonly used in a wide range of applications, including automotive, computing, communication, consumer electronics, aerospace, medical, and industrial applications. Its working principle is based on its ability to absorb the voltage spike and convert it into heat, thereby preventing the voltage from propagating further into the device circuitry. With its low reverse leakage current of 0.5 uA and operating voltage range from 3V to 24V, this device is an ideal for a variety of protection applications.
