The BZX55C15_T50R is a silicon bipolardiode commonly used as a Zener diode, specificallyable to their precise breakdown voltage. It is part of a larger family ofZener diodes, and it is used mostly for voltage regulation, clamping, and itseffect onwaveform generation. The BZX55C15_T50R has a range of features, such as anode cathodeaxial terminations and a maximum operating temperature of +175 °C.

The function and application of the BZX55C15_T50R is based on the generalprinciple of zener diodes. When the voltage applied to the diode is made largerthan the breakdown voltage, the diode serves a twofold function. One of these isthe potential to properly regulate the output voltage of a given circuit, and thesecond is to protect sensitive components from high voltages.

In a circuit containing a BZX55C15_T50R, the energy transfer through thediode is limited and takes on either a much greater or lesser amplitude than theinput voltage. When the applied voltage exceeds the Zener voltage, the excessenergy operates in what is known as a breakdown voltage. Current will then flowthrough the diode until the voltage across the diode reaches the Zener voltage.The excess energy is then dissipated in the form of heat.

In addition to its primary use as a voltage regulator, another majorapplication of the BZX55C15_T50R is to stabilize the output voltage ofalternating current power sources, such as transformers. This is done byshunting away the overtime voltage, leaving just the wanted alternating voltage.The BZX55C15_T50R can also be used in a DC-to-DC converter for power conditioningand in LED drivers for LED power supplies.

The BZX55C15_T50R can also be used as a voltage-clamping diode, as it has areverse-breakdown region that actively prevents voltage overloads by limiting thevoltage applied to the circuit. This provides an additional layer of protectionto sensitive components within the circuit.

The BZX55C15_T50R has been a go-to device for those looking for excellentvoltage regulation and protection of sensitive components for over 40 yearsthanks to its solid-state construction and simple two-terminal design. Itshigh-performance and reliability make it a great choice for voltage regulationand protection.
