BZW04-8V5HB0G

TVS (transient voltage suppressor) diodes are widely used in electronic circuits to protect them from damage caused by transient voltages. The BZW04-8V5HB0G is a type of TVS diode specifically designed for applications where high-voltage transients, surges, and inductive/capacitive switching transients may be present. This device provides excellent voltage clamping characteristics for protection against voltage spikes, surges, and electrostatic discharges (ESD) — which can result in catastrophic damage. This article will discuss the application fields and working principles of the BZW04-8V5HB0G.

The BZW04-8V5HB0G offers protection from ESD and transients for up to 8V. This device is ideal for applications in which high-energy transients may be present, such as automotive, industrial, communications, and consumer electronics. It is also suitable for providing protection in AC/DC power supplies, audio/video systems, as well as in high-energy motor control systems. The BZW04-8V5HB0G is ideal for protecting sensitive digital devices such as digital logic, computer, and television peripherals.

The device provides robust protection to connected systems since it can withstand high surge voltage from -30V to 110V, with response time less than 10ns. The device also provides ESD protection up to 15KV (air discharge) and 8KV (contact discharge). The BZW04-8V5HB0G has a low clamping voltage (Vcl) of 8V, which ensures low voltage drop during voltages transient, leading to improved system performance.

The working principle of the BZW04-8V5HB0G is simple and effective. When a voltage transient (surge or ESD) exceeds the device\'s breakdown voltage the TVS diode will begin to conduct, allowing current to flow through the diode, thus diverting the transient energy away from the protected system. The BZW04-8V5HB0G is designed with integrated vertical fusible links which immediately react to high current events, effectively diverting current away from the protected system, while also allowing for easy and reliable device repair.

The BZW04-8V5HB0G offers unmatched protection against transients and ESD, making it ideal for use in a wide variety of applications. Its low Vcl, combined with its fast response time and high surge capability makes it ideal for use in automotive, communications, consumer, and industrial systems. The device also offers easy and reliable device repair due to its integrated fusible links, making it a reliable and cost-effective solution for protecting a variety of systems.
