TZX27C-TAP

The TZX27C-TAP is a single zener diode is designed for switching, current regulating, and voltage regulation and stabilization. It is mainly used to protect sensitive components or circuits from over current, overpower, or overvoltage. The TZX27C-TAP is designed with a tolerance of ±5%.

Applications

The TZX27C-TAP has a variety of applications including current regulation, voltage regulation and surge protection, voltage transient protection and RF signal shielding. It is an ideal choice for AC/DC adapters, power supplies, UPD and LMTs, switches and motor drives, automotive applications and general electronic circuits.

Working Principle

A Zener diode works on a very simple principle and that is allowing electricity to flow in one direction and blocking it in the other. As an example, assume that the TZX27C-TAP is connected in a circuit. If voltage above its breakdown voltage is applied to it, current starts to flow and the zener diode starts to act as a normal diode in a forward biased manner and lets it pass. On the other hand, if a voltage below its breakdown voltage is applied to the TZX27C-TAP, it acts as an open switch and prevents current flow in the circuit.

To protect the circuit from overvoltage and overpower, the TZX27C-TAP contains a breakdown region in the junction which prevents further voltage increase once it reach its limit, thus protecting the circuit from being permanently damaged. This feature makes it an ideal choice for applications such as power supplies, UPD and LMTs, automated systems and motor drives, etc.

Furthermore, the TZX27C-TAP is also designed to provide very reliable suppression of high-frequency noise, surge protection from lightning, and protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). This makes it an ideal choice for automotive applications, electronic circuits, and other applications where noise and interference protection is required.

Conclusion

The TZX27C-TAP is an ideal choice for a variety of applications, especially those involving voltage and current regulation and surge protection. It has a high breakdown voltage and is designed to effectively protect sensitive components and circuits from overvoltage, overpower, and overcurrent. Additionally, it provides very reliable suppression of high-frequency noise, surge protection from lightning, and protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI).
