MTZJ16SC R0G

Introduction

The MTZJ16SCR0G is a single Zener diode. This type of device is used as a voltage regulator, allowing a reverse fan-out current in exchange for a regulated voltage across its terminals. This is depending on the applied voltage and temperature. This diode is SSOT (“super small outline package”) capable with a maximum power dissipation of 350 mW and average forward current of 1 Amp. In addition, the MTZJ16SCR0G have an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C for consumer grade applications and offers a very low forward voltage drop.

Application Fields

The MTZJ16SCR0G is designed for consumer-grade applications due to its low price, modern packaging, and low power dissipation characteristics. This diode is commonly used in consumer electronics such as computer power supplies, audio amplifiers, and automotive applications. It is also used in commercial/industrial applications such as telecom systems and instrumentation.

Working Principle

The MTZJ16SCR0G has a reverse-biased junction voltage and, when forward biased, will conduct current in the reverse direction and reduce the reverse bias voltage. This makes it the ideal choice for use as a voltage regulator or protect against power fluctuations. The primary function of the device is to be used when an AC peak voltage exceeds the prescribed operating voltage of an electrical system. In this case, the diode will rectify the AC voltage, changing it to a DC voltage and limiting the voltage input into the circuit. Some of the voltage is “lost” in the process, but the MTZJ16SCR0G\'s low forward voltage drop makes this insignificant in most systems.

Conclusion

The MTZJ16SCR0G single Zener diode is a popular device for regulating and protecting against power fluctuations in consumer and industrial applications. This device has a low forward voltage drop, making it well suited for use in a variety of applications. The device is packaged in an SSOT package and is capable of withstanding temperatures of -40°C to +85°C. For these reasons, the MTZJ16SCR0G single Zener diode is the ideal solution for many consumer grade and industrial applications where precise voltage regulation is desired.
