Diodes - Zener - Single

The BZX85C7V5 is a general purpose zener diode which is widely used across a variety of applications and industries. It has a wide range of applications such as over-voltage protection circuits, low voltage regulator circuits, voltage-reference sources and high speed diode logic circuits.

The BZX85C7V5 comes in a legendary SOD-123 package and offers an ultimate reverse power dissipation of 500mW at 7.2V and a peak@ circuit operation of 100mA at 7.2V. Its wide range of features and competitive pricing make it an ideal choice for a variety of applications.

The working principle of a Zener diode involves a breakdown voltage. This is the voltage reached during a reverse bias such that current flows in the reverse direction of the diode\'s normal direction. The Zener diode offers a precise and stable breakdown voltage which is relatively unaffected by temperature and other parameters, making it ideal for precise voltage reference and stable voltage clamping.

Aside from its normal usage as a zener diode, the BZX85C7V5 can also be used in other interesting and beneficial applications. One such application is to create a Zener diode voltage regulator which can be used to regulate the power supply to a device, providing protection against transient voltage spikes or large drops. Another use is to create a current limiter in order to protect circuits from over-current, making it an ideal component for use in battery based systems.

The BZX85C7V5 can also be used in a variety of other applications requiring constant and reliable reference voltage, regardless of the temperature and other parameters. The device is also commonly used in logic circuits such as TTL circuits and other digital circuitry.

The BZX85C7V5 is also popularly used in lighting circuits as it can be used to control the current flow characteristics in a lamp by placing it in series. It can also act as a voltage dropping component, ensuring that the voltage fed to the lamp is just enough and any extra voltage is clamped and not utilized by the lamp.

The BZX85C7V5 is an extremely versatile and reliable component. With its wide array of applications, it has become an essential component for a variety of industries and applications. With its competitive pricing and wide range of features, it has become an ideal component for all sorts of applications and industries.
