TLZ16-GS18

The TLZ16-GS18 Zener diode is a widely used single diode in the industrial field. It is usually used to protect circuits from overvoltage transients and provide a stable reference voltage. It helps maintain a high-frequency electrical system\'s reliability, stability and tight control of voltage and current.

Working Principle

When a reverse voltage is applied to a Zener diode, it will break down the depletion region and reduce the width of the depletion region. As a result, current starts to flow in the reverse direction, resulting in breakdown of the device. This type of breakdown is known as a Zener breakdown and leads to a controlled voltage drop across the diode. In a Zener diode, the voltage at which breakdown occurs is known as the Zener voltage or breakdown voltage.

The TLZ16-GS18 Zener diode has a zener voltage of 16V, which makes it ideal for a variety of applications. In addition, the device has an extremely low dynamic resistance, which makes it ideal for applications with high frequency input. It also features a large maximum power dissipation of 1.6W.

Application Field

The TLZ16-GS18 Zener diode is highly suitable for a variety of applications including overvoltage protection, reverse polarity protection, noise suppression, voltage regulation and voltage reference. It is widely used in automotive, breadboard prototyping, and various industrial and commercial applications.
