The TZM5260B-GS18 is a single Zener diode which is widely used for various applications. It is used for stabilizing electrical circuits or providing reverse bias protection for the power supply. This type of diode is well suited for high voltage applications and this is why it is preferred over other types of diodes.

A Zener diode is an electronic component that is sensitive to electrical current. It contains two electrodes. One is positive and one is negative. It allows current to flow in one direction only. When the voltage reaches a certain level, called the Zener voltage, the diode starts to conduct current in the opposite direction. This allows it to regulate supply voltage and protect sensitive components.

The TZM5260B-GS18 is a planar single-diode type. It has a forward voltage drop of typically 5.2 V to 10 V and a typical dynamic resistance of 200 ohms. It is designed to withstand a surge of up to 600 Volts peak. It features Pb-free terminations and a low leakage current of 0.1 µA.

It is usually employed in audio equipment, where it is used to prevent voltage spikes. It can also be used in computers and telecommunications to regulate the supply voltage and protect the circuit. In automotive applications, it is used to protect components from faults and overcurrents. It can also be used as a voltage clamp in AC and DC circuit breakers.

The TZM5260B-GS18 operates on the following principle. When the voltage across the diode reaches the Zener voltage, the diode allows current to flow in the reverse direction. This reverse current prevents the voltage from rising further, thereby providing the desired level of regulation. This effect is also known as the Zener breakdown voltage.

The TZM5260B-GS18 is available in an SOT-23 package and has a maximum ambient temperature of +105°C. It is also RoHS compliant and is suitable for industrial, military and other applications. The diode is popular due to its low cost and reliable performance, making it a popular choice for many applications.
