TZMC4V3-M-18

The TZMC4V3-M-18 is a single Zener diode specifically developed to protect circuits from voltages that exceed their normal values. The maximum voltage rating is 18V, making it ideal for use in a wide range of electronics and electrical applications. It also has a operating temperature range -55°C to +150°C, making it suitable for high-temperature applications.

The TZMC4V3-M-18 is constructed with a monolithic substrate, making it highly reliable and efficient. The built-in wire-bonded zinc oxide element provides excellent resistance to aging. The diode also has an anode and a cathode, with a reverse-blocking capability of 1000V and a reverse current limit of 0.2µA.

The working principle of the TZMC4V3-M-18 is very simple. When the connected voltage is below the reverse blocking voltage, the diode will block the flow of current. This effectively prevents damage to the connected components or circuitry. However, when the voltage exceeds the reverse blocking voltage, the diode will become forward biased and allow current to flow in the forward direction, providing protection against voltage spikes or other over-voltage situations.

The TZMC4V3-M-18 is a valuable component for many circuits and applications. It is ideal for use in automotive electronics, digital signal processing, instrumentation, and other areas where protection against voltage transients is critical. It is also an excellent choice for use in high-temperature applications, due to its wide operating temperature range and reliable performance.

In summary, the TZMC4V3-M-18 is a single Zener diode specifically designed to protect circuits from voltages that exceed the normal operating range. It has a reverse-blocking capability of 1000V and a reverse current limit of 0.2µA. It is constructed with a monolithic substrate for reliable performance and is suitable for high-temperature applications. It is an excellent protection device for many circuits and applications, providing reliable protection against over-voltage situations.
