TZM5266B-GS18

The TZM5266B-GS18 is a single Zener diode that belongs to a family of semiconductor devices that have numerous applications in commercial, industrial and communications industries. The purpose of this device is to regulate the voltage in the circuit. This device consists of a P-type and N-type semiconductor material sandwiched together, which is called PN junction. The P-type material is more conductive than the N-type material. This device has two terminals, an anode and a cathode. The anode is the P-type material and the cathode is the N-type material.Since the P-type material is more conductive than the N-type material, the voltage drop across the device is lower. This type of device is designed to allow a current to pass through it in the forward direction. In the opposite direction, the current is limited. This is accomplished by the presence of a breakdown voltage, which is typically lower than the forward voltage drop. If the voltage over the diode exceeds the breakdown voltage, it conducts some current in the reverse direction. This reversed current is much smaller than the forward current, and this is why the TZM5266B-GS18 is ideal for controlling voltage during surge events.The TZM5266B-GS18 has a working temperature range of -55°C to 125°C and a reverse voltage of 18V. It has a Power Dissipation of 0.75 W and a Power Dissipation Tolerance of 5%. The package size is 5.0mm x 3.2mm with a Lead Pitch of 2.0mm. This diode is RoHS Compliant and UL Recognized.Some practical applications of the TZM5266B-GS18 include protection of analog and digital circuits from spike voltages and overvoltages in automotive systems. It is also used for controlling DC power supplies in general lighting and cell phone applications, as well as other consumer electronics. It can be used to protect relay contacts and computer motherboards from overvoltage. The TZM5266B-GS18 can be used in a variety of other commercial, industrial and communications applications.In conclusion, the TZM5266B-GS18 is a Zener diode that is designed to protect circuits from over-voltage. It has a breakdown voltage of 18V, a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, a Power Dissipation of 0.75W, a Power Dissipation Tolerance of 5%, a package size of 5.0mm x 3.2mm and a Lead Pitch of 2.0mm. This diode is RoHS Compliant and UL Recognized, and it can be used in many commercial, industrial and communications applications.
