CZRW55C20-G

Diodes - Zener - Single

CZRW55C20-G is a single Zener diode module packaged in a hermetically sealed package for applications in high reliability and harsh environment. It is designed for use in a wide range of applications, including current regulators, voltage references, voltage stabilizers, and voltage limiters. It is an ideal solution for high power, noisy environment requirements.

This diode can handle forward bias voltages up to 10 volts and reverse breakdown voltages up to 500V. It provides a maximum forward current rating up to 10mA and a reverse current capability up to 100mA. When the voltage comes into breakdown region of CZRW55C20-G, the current will automatically decrease. This kind of characteristic makes CZRW55C20-G very suitable for voltage regulation, voltage stabilization and voltage limiting. With an operating temperature range up to 175°C and an insulation resistance rating up to 109MΩ, CZRW55C20-G can endure harsh environments in the industry.

The working principle of CZRW55C20-G is based on the Zener breakdown mechanism. When a voltage exceeding a certain value, exceeds the breakdown voltage of the diode, the electrical field within the junction of the anode and the cathode increases. this increased field strength causes electrons to become ionized and break down, producing a current through the junction. This current is proportional to the applied voltage and is independent of temperature and current. This makes CZRW55C20-G ideal for voltage regulation, voltage stabilization and voltage limiting applications.

As for the application field, CZRW55C20-G is widely used in communications, computers, navigation, medical, audio and video, aviation and aerospace, automotive electronics, food and beverage, home automation, and security industries. Despite its wide use in these industries, CZRW55C20-G can also be used as current regulator, voltage references, voltage stabilizers, and voltage limiters devices. As a voltage regulator, it can help stabilize the output voltage of power supply and prevent over-voltage. As a voltage reference, it can provide a stable voltage reference for other active components in the system. As a voltage stabilizer, it can reduce the output ripple of the power supply and smooth the waveform. As a voltage limiter, it can clamp the voltage when it exceeds the breakdown voltage.}

In conclusion, CZRW55C20-G is a single Zener diode module manufactured with a hermetically sealed package for applications in high reliability and harsh environment. Its wide use in communications, computers, navigation, medical, audio and video, and other industries, as well as its various application fields, makes it a very attractive diode for numerous applications.
