BZX79C16 A0G

The BZX79C16 A0G diode is a single zener diode from the BZ series manufactured by ON Semiconductor. It is a 15 V, 500 mW zener diode with a maximum operating temperature of 125℃. This diode belongs to the single zener diode family. Single zener diodes are ideal for use when a circuit needs to be protected against overvoltage conditions.

A zener diode works based on its reverse breakdown voltage also known as the zener voltage. Zener diodes are designed to work in both directions. When the current across the diode is forward biased, a voltage drop occurs between the anode and the cathode. When the applied voltage is greater than the zener voltage then the diode will be reverse biased and a current will flow through it in the opposite direction. This current is known as the zener breakdown current.

The BZX79C16 A0G diode is mainly used in voltage regulation applications. It is also suitable for use in integrated circuits as well as in pulse-width modulation (PWM) and switching applications. This diode can also be used in power supply systems such as for protecting circuits from voltage overloads. This diode is also very popular for use in automotive applications as it has a low breakdown voltage and is heat stable for reliable performance.

The BZX79C16 A0G diode is robust in terms of its total power dissipation and its voltage breakdown. Its low zener impedance and its fast recovery time makes it ideal for use in many different applications. This diode has an operating temperature range of -65℃ to 125℃, a storage temperature range of -65℃ to 150℃ and a lead temperature of 250℃.

In summary, the BZX79C16 A0G diode is a single zener diode from the BZ series. It is mainly used for voltage regulation purposes and for protecting circuits from overvoltage conditions. It is a robust component due to its low zener impedance, its fast recovery time, and its temperature stability. It has a wide range of applications and is an ideal component for automotive applications.
