TZMC24-GS18 Discrete Semiconductor Products

Diodes - Zener - SingleThe TZMC24-GS18 is a high-performance zener diode with a wide range of applications both in industry and within households. It is especially suitable for circuit applications with sensitive electrical components. Application Field This diode is most suitable for applications such as voltage regulation and surge suppression. It is also suitable for DC-DC converters and AC power supplies, ensuring the safety of sensitive electrical components. Other typical applications include television receivers, car audio systems, home appliance and cell phone circuits.Working PrincipleThe TZMC24-GS18 acts as a barrier or valve to regulate or suppress the voltage or current levels in a circuit. The diode has a high breakdown voltage, and low forward voltage drop, making it ideal for polarizing, voltage regulation and surge suppression. The zener diode works by allowing zener breakdown to take place when the voltage exceeds the zener threshold. At this point, the zener breakdown takes place and the voltage is diverted through the zener diode, reducing or limiting the voltage or current.The positive temperature coefficient of the diode is beneficial in some applications as it will reduce the current in the circuit with rising temperatures. And as the diode has a low forward voltage, it also has a low power dissipation, which is also beneficial in preventing overheating.In summary, the TZMC24-GS18 is a versatile and reliable zener diode suitable for a wide range of applications. It is particularly suitable for circuit applications with sensitive electrical components due to its versatility and reliability. With a wide range of application possibilities, this diode is sure to be the go-to option for many engineers and technicians.
