Diodes - Zener - Single

SZMMSZ5270BT1G is essentially a type of diode, identified by the manufacturer SEMIKRON and falls into the classification of diodes known as Zener Single. A Zener diode can be described as a diode with a designed reverse breakdown voltage. The breakdown voltage of a diode is the voltage that can be applied in reverse bias condition to the diode junction for a significant and uncontrolled current flow to take place. This voltage is normally much much lower than the peak forward voltage ratings. However in the case of the SZMMSZ5270BT1G, the breakdown voltage is a significant factor as it can withstand a maximum reverse voltage of up to 27 volts and can provides a maximum reverse current at this voltage of typically around 0.5 milliamps.

Working principle

The SZMMSZ5270BT1G Zener diode working principle can be explained in the following manner. When the diode is forward bias and the anode-cathode forward voltage is below the breakdown voltage - usually close to zero - then conventional diode action will take place, allowing current to flow in the forward direction with only one level of resistance. However, when a reverse voltage - higher than the breakdown voltage - is applied to the diode then the breakdown voltage will be reached and no further voltage will be present. At this point a large surge of current, known as the Zener effect will flow and the diode will remain in the “Zener region” until the reverse voltage is removed. The SZMMSZ5270BT1G offers up to 27 volts of reverse bias voltage, which can be higher than the forward bias voltage rating, allowing for a higher level of protection for electronic components. It also offers a good degree of stability and is able to dissipate heat easily.

Typical applications

Due to its ability to withstand high voltage and current, the SZMMSZ5270BT1G is typically used in applications such as surge protection. It’s used to protect other components in a circuit by diverting large amounts of current away from it in the event of a surge. It is also used in power supplies, voltage regulators, oscillators and communication circuits. The SZMMSZ5270BT1G can also be used in some audio systems and signal conditioning circuits. In summary, the SZMMSZ5270BT1G is a versatile and robust Zener diode, offering good current and voltage breakdown characteristics. Perfect for protecting a wide range of circuit components from voltage spikes.
