BZW04-48RL Circuit Protection

TVS diodes are a form of transient voltage suppression diodes, which are designed to absorb the voltage generated by sudden changes in the electric field. The BZW04-48RL is a type of TVS diode designed for general purpose applications. It is an unidirectional diode consisting of one p-n junction and two series-connected zener diodes.

The main purpose of the BZW04-48RL is to protect circuits from high voltage spikes. The diode is designed to automatically absorb the higher voltage without allowing current to flow through it. When the voltage spike dissipates, the diode is ready to absorb the next one without any destruction. The protection range of this diode is 4V to 48V, which makes it suitable for use in a wide variety of applications.

The BZW04-48RL is able to protect against all types of overvoltage transients such as electrostatic discharge, lightning strike, and short circuit. It is also rated to absorb energy up to 1.5kW. The diode is available in a package size of 0.2” with high current capability. This makes it ideal for use in the automotive and telecom industry. The working temperature range is from -40°C to +85°C, which makes it suitable for operating in extreme climates.

The BZW04-48RL also features excellent surge handling capability and noise suppression. It is also highly reliable and offers optimum performance, making it a versatile solution for many different applications. It can be used in a variety of circuit protection applications such as automotive, telecom, power supply, and data communication.

In summary, the BZW04-48RL is a versatile type of TVS diode suitable for many applications. It is designed to protect circuits from overvoltage transients and provides excellent surge handling capability and noise suppression. It is also reliable and offers optimum performance, making it a great choice for many different circuit protection applications.
