It is suitable for low voltage and low power applications, and can be used in other fields such as relays, communication equipment, and batteries.

Characteristics

BZX85B22-TAP has a maximum continuous power dissipation of 1W. Its breakdown voltage is 22V and its maximum reverse voltage is 25V. Its maximum forward current is 200mA and its thermal resistance is 40°C/W. It has an operating temperature range of -55°C to 175°C.

Working Principle

A zener diode is an electronic component that allows current to flow in the forward direction like a typical diode, but also in the reverse direction when the voltage is above a certain value or "breakdown voltage". The current will then flow in the reverse direction without any additional power supply, until the voltage drops below the "breakdown voltage". This allows the diode to work as a voltage regulator or voltage limiter, as it prevents the voltage from going beyond a certain level. Therefore, BZX85B22-TAP is an important component in various models and modules, as it can limit the voltage to a safe level.

Conclusion

BZX85B22-TAP is a single zener diode, which is widely used in optoelectronic device, low voltage and low power applications. Its superior property of varistors, low pulse noise, large reverse breakdown voltage and small thermal resistance, makes it suitable for many applications. It works by allowing current to flow in the forward direction and in the reverse direction when voltage is above the breakdown voltage, which limits the voltage to a safe level. Therefore, it is an important component for a variety of models and modules.
