Diodes are an effective and efficient means of controlling the flow of electricity through an electronic device. Zener diodes are a type of diode that is designed to be able to regulate the output current of an electronic device. Of the many different types of zener diode, the TZX16C-TAP is particularly useful in a wide range of applications. Let’s learn more about its application field and working principle.

Application Field

The TZX16C-TAP is a small-signal 14 volt Zener diode with a low forward voltage drop and high peak current. Its ability to handle high current spikes and its wide operating range make it ideal for use in a variety of electronic circuits, especially automotive applications. In addition to automotive applications, the TZX16C-TAP is also used in cell phone charging circuits, LED lighting, home security systems, and other various consumer electronics.

Working Principle

The working principle of the TZX16C-TAP is similar to that of other Zener diodes. It is a semiconductor that consists of two regions, the p-type and n-type. When a voltage is applied across the diode, it acts as a nonlinear rectifier, allowing current to flow from the anode to the cathode. The diode has a small breakdown voltage, or “Zener voltage”, that allows current to flow in the reverse direction.

When the applied voltage exceeds the diode’s Zener voltage, the diode will begin to conduct current in the reverse direction. This reverse-current flow limits the amount of voltage that is outputted by the device. Thus, using the TZX16C-TAP allows you to regulate the voltage output of a circuit and protect against damage caused by excessive voltage.

Conclusion

The TZX16C-TAP Zener diode provides efficient voltage regulation and protection in a range of applications. From automotive to consumer electronics, this versatile Zener diode can provide the perfect solution for almost any given application. Whether you need to regulate the voltage of an LED lighting circuit or protect an automotive system from voltage spikes, the TZX16C-TAP has you covered.
