BZX384C15-E3-18

The BZX384C15-E3-18 is a Zener diode that falls into the single diode category. It is used to regulate voltages and create a stable flow of current. It is used in many circuit designs, such as radio and TV sets, electronics, lighting, AC/DC rectifiers, and more. The BZX384C15-E3-18 is designed to be used in low voltage applications, which makes it a great choice for myriad of projects.

The BZX384C15-E3-18 is designed to be reverse biased, which means that it slowly empties or fills up with electrons, depending on the voltage that is being applied. This diode can handle up to 15 volts and passes up to 150 milliamps when the voltage is lowered to 5.1 Volts. It is a 1.3 watt diode that is capable of handling up to 1,000 watts when mounted on a heat sink. Its maximum operating temperature is set at 125 degrees Celsius.

The BZX384C15-E3-18 is designed to provide a stable current flow and regulate voltage. This can be done by reverse biasing or forward biasing the diode. In reverse biasing, when a larger voltage than the threshold voltage is applied, the diode will slowly start to fill with electrons, thus allowing a current to flow through. In forward biasing, when a lower voltage is applied, the diode will slowly start to empty of electrons, again allowing current to flow. By regulating the voltage, the current flow can remain stable, which is beneficial in many applications.

The BZX384C15-E3-18 can be found in a variety of applications in electronics and lighting. It is often used in rectifiers, power supplies, and amplifiers, to regulate and stabilize the flow of current. It is also used in television and radio sets to switch from alternating current to direct current, to be used in the TVs and radios. In lighting, the diode can be found in LED displays, as well as emergency exit signs and street lights.

The BZX384C15-E3-18 is a reliable, efficient and cost effective diode, with a wide range of applications in the field of electronics, radio and TV sets, lighting, and AC/DC rectifiers. This diode is designed to provide a stable current flow and regulate voltage. It is designed to be reverse biased to slowly allow current to flow, or forward biased to increase current flow. The BZX384C15-E3-18 is well suited for many projects, where efficiency and reliability are needed.
