TLZ18B-GS08

The TLZ18B-GS08 is a single- Zeners diode that belongs to the TLZ LGD diode series from LG Electronic company. Although it is designed for high performance applications, this diode is mostly used in power supplies, high- current switching and low-voltage rectifier designs. Moreover, this device is also used in voltage references and temperature controls.

Generally, the TLZ18B-GS08 is a three-terminal component. Its anode is a cylindrical shape that has a large diameter. These diodes also have a cathode epoxy encapsulated in a yellow resin. Additionally, this device can handle reverse voltage up to 18V and forward voltage up to 0.5V.

This diode works by controlling current. When the forward voltage is applied, the diode conduction is low thus allowing low current to pass through. On the other hand, when the reverse voltage is applied, the conduction is high thus, allowing high current to pass through. The higher the voltage, the lower the current, and the lower the voltage, the higher the current.

The working principle of the TLZ18B-GS08 is essentially the same as other diodes. The current passes from anode to cathode and the voltage across the diode depends on the materials used in it. When the reverse voltage is applied, the Zener junction breaks down and a large current passes through the diode. This current flows in reverse direction which allows the voltage to remain in a stable state.

The TLZ18B-GS08 is mainly used in power supplies that use linear and switching regulators. Its high voltage capability helps to regulate the output voltage across the diode. This diode can also be used in temperature control circuits as well as isolation transformers. Additionally, it is also applied in low-voltage rectifier circuits and voltage references. They are also used in a variety of other applications such as filter circuits, frequency converters, and telecom equipment.

The TLZ18B-GS08 is a great diode for use in high performance applications. It has a high voltage capability and is easy to use. It is also a reliable diode that has passed of the rigorous standards of the LG Electronic company. This diode can be used in a variety of applications and is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a reliable and efficient diode.
