BZX84C10-HE3-18

Zener diodes are designed to be forward-biased, meaning they are designed to pass current as soon as voltage is applied. The Zener voltage, or Z voltage, is the voltage at which the diode begins to conduct a current in the reverse direction. The BZX84C10-HE3-18 diode has a Zener voltage of 18 volts.

The BZX84C10-HE3-18 diode can be used in a variety of applications, including power supplies and circuits, impedance matching and control circuits, and overload protection of sensitive electronic components. It is a common component in commercial and consumer electronic devices, such as computers, cell phones, televisions and gaming consoles.

Zener diodes are also commonly used in power supply circuits as voltage regulators. They are used to regulate the voltage to a specific value by limiting the current. This is useful in many applications, such as when a circuit needs to be protected from overvoltage caused by power surges or lightning.

The BZX84C10-HE3-18 diode has a reverse power dissipation of 400 milliwatts, making it suitable for use in low-power circuits. It has a maximum reverse current of 1mA, allowing it to protect sensitive components from being overloaded. It also has an operating temperature range of -65°C to 150°C, making it suitable for use in a variety of applications.

The Zener diode is an essential component of many electrical devices, as it is capable of stabilizing a circuit’s output and protecting it from electrically-induced damage. The BZX84C10-HE3-18 diode is a single diode which has a Zener voltage of 18 volts, making it well suited for use in many applications where power stabilizing and overload protection are required.
