Working Principle

The BZX84B6V2-G3-18 is an avalanche breakdown Zener diode. The Zener voltage is the voltage at which the Zener diode starts conducting current. When the Zener diode is exposed to a reverse voltage, it begins to conduct current. When the voltage is greater than the Zener voltage, it achieves the reliable breakdown voltage. This prevents overvoltage and helps protect the device from damage.

The other function of this diode is to regulate the voltage. When the input voltage is greater than the Zener voltage, it will clamp the voltage and keep it at a steady level. This helps maintain a stable and reliable voltage even when the input voltage fluctuates.

Conclusion

The BZX84B6V2-G3-18 is a single Zener diode that has a wide variety of applications. It is mainly used in voltage regulation and EMI suppression. Its small size and power dissipation rating make it convenient for various circuit board designs. It is also suitable for applications such as low and medium frequency converters, low and medium power supplies, and automotive electronics. The diode works by avalanche breakdown and is able to regulate the voltage when the input voltage is greater than the Zener voltage.
