BZX884-B6V2,315

The BZX884-B6V2,315 is a single Zener diode that serves to regulate current in a circuit. It is important for protecting the circuits against overvoltage and ensuring efficient operation of electronics. This diode allows direct current to pass in one direction, while limiting the reverse current, maintaining a certain voltage in the circuit.

Generally, Zener diodes are designed to function as voltage regulators by controlling current in a circuit. These diodes have a very low impedance in the reverse direction, allowing a very small current to flow. When the reverse voltage is increased, the current continues to increase, while the voltage remains constant due to the voltage-limiting effect of the diode. The reverse voltage is limited by the breakdown voltage of the Zener diode, which is usually specified for the particular type of Zener diode.

The BZX884-B6V2,315 acts like a standard diode in the forward direction, allowing direct current to easily pass from the anode to the cathode. When the reverse voltage is applied, a breakdown occurs and the diode behaves as a controlled current source. The voltage withstanding capability of this diode makes this device particularly useful in circuits used in automotive, communication, and power management applications. Its low working voltage makes it suitable for applications which require a minimum sustaining voltage.

The BZX884-B6V2,315 has a rated power dissipation of 500 milliwatts (mW), a peak reverse voltage of 6 volts (V), and a nominal zener voltage of 2.15V. This device is designed to seamlessly regulate to the nominal zener voltage, allowing only a small current to pass through the diode. Furthermore, the BZX884-B6V2,315 is a high-reliability product, which is optimized for single event transient immunity. It is lead-free and mountable on Frenfree/no-clean wave soldering and Hot-Air Soldering Level-L1 (10 sec.) boards.

The BZX884-B6V2,315 is a reliable and affordable solution for regulating current in circuits. It is designed to protect vulnerable electrical components from overvoltage and maintain a constant voltage in the circuit. With its low working voltage, high reliability, and lead-free construction, the BZX884-B6V2,315 is an ideal solution for various automotive, communication, and power-related applications.
