BZX584C11-V-G-08

A BZX584C11-V-G-08 diode is a type of single Zener diode. It is often used in engine control, audio, measuring, telecommunication, and computing applications. The diode features a reverse Breakdown Voltage of 11 volts, with a maximum power dissipation of 1 watt. It has a high-conductivity junction made up of small Silicon particles and low leakage current. The small size and large power capacity of the diode make it suitable for a range of applications where space is at a premium.

Zener diodes are also known as voltage-regulator diodes. They are designed to sustain a reverse breakdown voltage, or the voltage across the anode and the cathode when the diode is conducting. In the case of the BZX584C11-V-G-08, this breakdown voltage is 11 volts. The diode is self-protecting against overvoltage, as it limits current flow when a reverse voltage spike exceeds the design parameters. This self-protection is especially important in automotive applications, where electrical component failure can pose a serious safety risk.

The diode also features a low leakage current. This is important in many electronic devices, especially ones that require precise current measurements, such as those used in medical equipment. Low leakage current helps ensure that the diode does not interfere with current readings, resulting in more accurate readings.

The small size and large power capacity of the BZX584C11-V-G-08 make it suitable for a range of applications. It can be used in engine control systems, such as fuel injection, to precisely regulate current flow, and in audio and telecommunication equipment to offer consistent voltage. The diode is also used in measuring equipment where current needs to be controlled accurately and is suitable for computing applications where space is at a premium.

The BZX584C11-V-G-08 diode is a versatile and reliable single Zener diode. It features a reverse breakdown voltage of 11 volts, a maximum power dissipation of 1 watt, and a low-leakage current. The small size and large power capacity of the diode make it suitable for a range of automotive, audio, telecom, measuring, and computing applications.
