BZW04-188BHB0G

TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diodes are electronic components that protect electrical systems from unclean and unpredictable changes in voltages. They are specifically designed to clamp the voltage within an optimum range while minimizing distortion. BZW04-188BHB0G is one such product from the crowd of TVS diodes.

BZW04-188BHB0G is a dual-channel, bidirectional transient voltage suppressor designed to protect downstream components from transient over-voltages generated by electrostatic discharge (ESD), lightning, and other similar surges. The device is built on a planar or ESD protected technology and is available in hermetically sealed ceramic surface mount packages.

Threshold, holding and clamping voltages are the three main parameters that define the functioning of BZW04-188BHB0G. The threshold voltage is the voltage at which the device starts to clamp the voltage. The holding voltage is the voltage at which the device holds the voltage during the surge event. The clamping voltage is the maximum voltage which the device can sustain without any significant rise in temperature. By controlling these parameters, BZW04-188BHB0G offers an optimum protection against ESD and transient over-voltages.

The typical application areas of BZW04-188BHB0G are Electronic/Clothing, Control/Consumer/Industrial Equipment, Computers/Power Supplies, Telecom/DSL/Cable Modems, and Automotive/Aerospace. BZW04-188BHB0G also works efficiently with USB and IEEE1394 devices. The device is highly recommended for system which require ESD protection and surge suppression for contacting and non-contacting electrostatic discharge.

The working principle of BZW04-188BHB0G is simple. When the voltage reaches the threshold voltage, the device limits the voltage by clamping it to the clamping voltage. During the event, the device holds the voltage at the holding voltage, which is far below the destructive limit of the system components. This way, BZW04-188BHB0G prevents the voltage from exceeding the safe levels and protects the downstream components from destruction.

To sum it up, BZW04-188BHB0G is a reliable, robust and easy to implement solution for ESD and voltage transients protection. It is available in hermetically sealed packages for better reliability, and works perfectly with USB as well as other standard interfaces. The device offers an optimum level of protection to the downstream components against ESD, lightning, and other transient over-voltages. BZW04-188BHB0G is surely a great choice for any system that requires ESD protection.
