BZY55B22 RYG

Diodes - Zener - Single

The BZY55B22 RYG is a single Zener diode made from silicon epitaxial planar structure, which is available in DO-35 package form. With its low forward voltage drop and decent thermal characteristics, the BZY55B22 RYG is one of the most popular zener diodes in the market.

Although the various types of diodes have different applications and working principles, the Zener diode is one of the most basic types of diodes and is usually used as a voltage regulator to control the output voltage in a circuit. The zener diode is designed such that it has an extremely low leakage current and a very high breakdown voltage. As the voltage across the diode increases, the current through it will remain constant until it reaches its breakdown voltage, at which point the current will suddenly increase exponentially. This exponential increase in current is known as the Zener effect, and it is this effect that makes the Zener diode useful for regulating voltage levels in a circuit.

The BZY55B22 RYG can be used in a variety of applications such as in voltage regulation circuits, voltage clamping, transient voltage suppressing, and peak power limiting. It can also be used in other applications such as TV sets, radios, medical equipment, and circuit protection.

The BZY55B22 RYG Zener diode is available in 3 different packages, DO-35, DO-41, and SOD-123. The diode can handle a maximum power dissipation of 250mW at an ambient temperature of 25°C and the allowable temperature range is −55°C to +150°C. The maximum breakdown voltage of the BZY55B22 RYG is 7.5 Volts and the diode has a maximum reverse current of 10mA at 5.6V. The dynamic resistance at 5.6V is 50 ohms.

In summary, the BZY55B22 RYG is a single Zener diode with a wide range of applications. Its low leakage current and high breakdown voltage make it suitable for use as a voltage regulator in circuits and its dynamic resistance makes it useful for protecting circuits from transient voltages and overvoltage conditions.
