The BZX85C82-TAP (Transparent Anode Protector) is a Zener diode component made by Central Semiconductor that is used in many different applications. It has unique attributes that make it superior to other Zener diodes, particularly in circuits with high voltage levels. This component can protect and filter devices from direct application of very high voltages, providing transient protection for high-powered and vulnerable components. Additionally, the component offers a medium voltage, low forward voltage drop, and a high reverse-dissipative capability.

The component consists of a substrate containing two layers of Zener diodes. The first layer is designed to provide protection from high voltage or transient spikes in the system, while the second layer provides an electrical short-circuit when the component is exposed to excessive voltage. This short-circuit action prevents large current flows that can otherwise damage other components. In other words, it limits the amount of current that can flow through the component, dissipating any excessive energy, and protecting other components in the system. The component also has an enclosed shield which helps to further reduce transients.

The component\'s working principle is based on the Zener breakdown. When a reverse voltage is applied to the component, the substrate layers break down and a weak current flows through the component. This current enables the component to act as a "transparent" flame detector between the higher voltage side and the lower voltage side. The current is sufficient to trigger an action like the closing of a circuit or the opening of a relay, but it is not typically high enough to damage or stress other components.

The component is designed for use in a wide range of applications, ranging from its primary mission of protecting and controlling high voltage circuits, to its use in a variety of other tasks. These applications may include pulse and flash protection for light emitting diodes, voltage regulation in power supply circuits, and over-voltage protection for sensitive components. One of its primary uses is to limit inrush current spikes when the power is first applied to a device or system.

The component comes in a variety of packages and configurations in order to accommodate different requirements. All of these components are RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant and operate in temperatures ranging from -65C to 175C (-85F to 350F). They may also be available in Unipolar and Bipolar cases. The type of incident short detected by the component is usually controlled by the external resistor connected to the surge protection diode.

The BZX85C82-TAP is ideal for a variety of applications due to its high performance and low power consumption profile. It offers excellent protection in high voltage systems and is reliable in extreme temperatures. The robustness and flexibility of the component makes it the ideal choice for many applications.
