BZT52C15-7-F

The BZT52C15-7-F is a Zener diode designed to regulate voltage in electronic circuits by allowing current to flow in reverse when the voltage reaches a specific breakdown voltage known as the Zener voltage. Zener diodes are commonly used in voltage regulation, voltage reference, and overvoltage protection applications.

Key Features:

• Zener Voltage: The "15" in the part number indicates a Zener voltage of approximately 15 volts. This is the voltage at which the diode begins to conduct in the reverse direction.
• Low Leakage Current: Offers low leakage current, ensuring minimal current flows when the diode is reverse biased.
• Stable Voltage Reference: Provides a stable reference voltage across a wide range of temperatures and operating conditions.
• High Surge Current Capability: Capable of handling short-duration surge currents without damage, making it suitable for overvoltage protection applications.
• Small SOD-123 Surface Mount Package: Packaged in a small SOD-123 surface mount package, enabling easy integration onto printed circuit boards (PCBs) and saving board space.
• RoHS Compliance: Complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive, ensuring environmental friendliness and regulatory compliance.

Applications: 

• Voltage Regulation: Used in voltage regulator circuits to stabilize output voltages and protect downstream components from voltage fluctuations.
• Voltage Reference: Integrated into precision voltage reference circuits for calibration and measurement applications.
• Overvoltage Protection: Employed in overvoltage protection circuits to clamp voltages and limit voltage spikes during transient events.
• Signal Clipping: Used in signal clipping circuits to limit the amplitude of AC signals within a desired range.
• Reverse Voltage Protection: Installed in reverse polarity protection circuits to prevent damage to sensitive electronic devices from reverse voltage conditions.
• Battery Management: Integrated into battery management systems to monitor and regulate battery voltages in portable electronic devices.
