BZX84C10S-7-F Discrete Semiconductor Products

The BZX84C10S-7-F is a Zener diode array. It has 17 protected Zener diodes in one silicon chip. It is mainly used in low voltage systems with limited space, such as integrated circuits (ICs), single-board computers, and computer boards.The main function of the BZX84C10S-7-F is to divert reverse electrical current when the input voltage exceeds a certain value. This is known as Zener breakdown. When the reverse voltage is greater than the rated Zener voltage, the Zener diode generates a large amount of reverse current, thus limiting the input voltage and protecting the system from overvoltage.The BZX84C10S-7-F has a total of 17 diodes contained in one package with 10 series and 7 parallel connections. This allows for higher protection capability since the reverse voltage is divided among the individual diodes.The BZX84C10S-7-F has a Zener voltage range of 6.8V to 300V and a total current handling capacity of 2A. It is particularly suitable for use in low voltage applications such as switching power supplies, active device protection, and line overvoltage protection.Apart from providing overvoltage protection, the BZX84C10S-7-F also has other advantages such as lower power consumption, faster response time, and higher reliability. The power dissipation of the BZX84C10S-7-F is lower than that of individual Zener diodes which makes it more suitable for high frequency applications.The BZX84C10S-7-F is manufactured using low temperature annealing and high voltage lito-implantation techniques. This gives it superior performance characteristics such as high reliability, high surge withstand capability, and improved junction parameter uniformity.In conclusion, the BZX84C10S-7-F is a highly reliable and cost-effective solution for overvoltage protection in low voltage applications. It is easy to use, has low power consumption and fast response time, and provides superior reliability and high surge withstand capability.
