The BZX55C16 is a category of semiconductor diode which belongs to the range of Zener single diodes. This semiconductor device is becoming increasingly popular in many varied application fields due to its advantageous features and its effortless performance.

The BZX55C16 diode is made from a combination of a variety of materials which include silicon, arsenic, boron, nitrogen and phosphorus. These materials provide the BZX55C16 diode with its advantageous properties which include high breakdown voltage and clamping current.

The primary purpose of the BZX55C16 diode is to provide high voltage breakdown protection. This is achieved through the working principle of the diode. During normal operation, the diode acts just like any other diode and draws current easily in one direction. When current starts to increase, the amount of electrons stored on the silicon-nitride junction begins to increase. As the amount of stored electrons increases, the voltage at the junction increases as well, eventually reaching the breakdown voltage which is determined by how much current is flowing through the diode and the operating temperature. At this point, the diode begins to break down. This breakdown results in an avalanche breakdown, increasing current to the diode’s breakdown level.
