BZX84C18LT3G

BZX84C18LT3G is an ohmic diode with a Zener regulator, an integrated package for high performance, and is a single Zener diode.

BZX84C18LT3G is suited for voltage regulation, digital and analog circuit protection, sampling circuits, overvoltage/current protection circuits, surge circuit, as well as other high frequency electronic equipment.

BZX84C18LT3G is rated at an 18V nominal Zener voltage, with a tolerance total of 5% of both forwards and reverse leakage currents of up to 100 microamps. The diode carries very low power dissipation making it suitable for low power applications. The device features a maximum reverse current of 30 mA, with a specified 6.5V knee voltage.

BZX84C18LT3G works by introducing clamps in the circuit design. When the input signal becomes too high, the Zener diode begins to conduct, limiting the signal to a safe range and preventing damage to the components. When the signal drops below the Zener voltage, the diode turns off and the signal is allowed to pass unaltered. As a result, the diode acts as a voltage regulator.

BZX84C18LT3G is a single Zener diode with many applications in consumer electronics and specialized circuits. This device has very low forward current leakage and reverse voltage leakage, making it suitable for low power applications. Additionally, its clamped design allows for voltage regulation, digital and analog circuit protection, surge circuit protection, and more.
