BZW50-47B Circuit Protection

Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) Diodes are electronic components used as protection from overvoltage causing power surges. BZW50-47B is a particular model of TVS diode designed to protect sensitive electronic devices against high electrical spikes. Thus, with it’s proper application, BZW50-47B can ensure proper functioning of some electronic equipments.

This TVS diode series is suitable for use in low voltage applications, ranging from 6.4 V up to 15 V. Moreover, BZW50-47B is used in many other applications, including interface circuits, communication equipment, audio equipment, automobiles, and other types of integrated control systems.

In terms of working principle, BZW50-47B TVS diodes are designed to protect against electric surges and perform lightning strike protection. These unidirectional diodes are used to protect electronic equipment from warnings from the high voltage generated during an electric surge. In other words, these diodes will short the overvoltage, thereby protecting the equipment from the potential damages.

When a voltage higher than their maximum rating is applied, the TVS diodes will short the current, allowing the excess voltage to pass through them. Then, when the voltage drops down below the maximum rating, the diode will stop shorting the current, returning the circuit to its intended form.

In conclusion, the BZW50-47B TVS diode series is designed for providing protection against electric surge and lightning strike. The diodes can also be used in a variety of applications, ranging from low-voltage interface circuits and communication equipment, to automobiles and other types of integrated control systems. BZW50-47B TVS diodes are unidirectional diodes, which means that they only provide protection from warnings generated from an electric surge, and react accordingly to protect the equipment.
