BZX55C10_T50R Application Field and Working Principle

Diodes are electronic components which form the basis of virtually all electronic circuits. They allow electric currents to flow in a single direction, thus controlling the direction of electric currents. Zener diodes form a special type of diode whose circuit breakdown voltage, also known as its reverse breakdown voltage, is nearly constant despite changes in the amount of current that is applied. Zener diodes are thus used to maintain a constant voltage across its terminals within a set range.

Among these types of diodes is the BZX55C10_T50R diode which is a single zener diode with an unidirectional voltage reference. It is a planar, maximum leaded version which has an epoxy molding material case and that makes it suitable for automatic surface mount assembly. It is designed for use in applications requiring stabilizing, clipping and regulation of voltage. The BZX55C10_T50R is designed for a maximum reverse voltage of 10 volts and with a power dissipation rate of 500mW.

Working Principle

The BZX55C10_T50R works by allowing a current to flow through it when the anode is made more positive than the cathode. This action results in a limited reverse leakage due to non-uniform doping conditions and to the presence of minority carriers at the junction. This diode has a relatively uniform doping that provides a very stable breakdown voltage with temperature and power levels. The breakdown voltage characteristic of a BZX55C10_T50R is very stable since it maintains its value over a wide range of power and temperature levels.

Application Areas

The BZX55C10_T50R diode is used in low voltage applications to provide a regulated voltage output. It is used in regulating the output of battery chargers, in power supplies, and in voltage stabilizers. Its stable operating temperature and low power dissipation rate make it suitable for use in a variety of systems such as computers, telecom systems, audio/video equipment, and industrial control systems. It is also used as a temperature limit control in heaters and furnaces.

The BZX55C10_T50R diode is a reliable, cost effective diode that functions over a wide range of temperatures and to higher power levels. Its characteristics makes it suitable for a number of power supply and regulating applications, providing the current and voltage required in various systems.
