Manufacturer: ['vishay-general-semiconductor', 'vishay']

series introduction

The BZW04-171-E Series is a distinguished line of bidirectional transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes engineered to provide robust protection against voltage spikes in electronic circuits. These components are essential for safeguarding sensitive devices from overvoltage conditions that can arise due to electrostatic discharge (ESD), inductive load switching, and other transient events. With a peak pulse power rating of 400 watts, the BZW04-171-E Series ensures effective clamping of voltage surges, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring high reliability.

One of the key features of the BZW04-171-E Series is its low breakdown voltage, which is typically around 7.5 volts. This characteristic allows these TVS diodes to react quickly to transient events, minimizing the risk of damage to downstream components. Additionally, the series boasts a low capacitance of approximately 5 pF, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity in high-speed data lines and communication circuits. The compact DO-214AA package design further enhances its versatility, enabling easy integration into space-constrained environments.

The BZW04-171-E Series is suitable for a wide range of applications across various industries. In consumer electronics, these TVS diodes are commonly used to protect smartphones, tablets, and laptops from ESD events. In automotive electronics, they play a crucial role in safeguarding sensitive control units and infotainment systems from voltage transients generated by ignition systems or load switching. Furthermore, in industrial automation, the BZW04-171-E Series is instrumental in protecting sensors, PLCs, and communication interfaces, ensuring uninterrupted operation and longevity of equipment.

With their exceptional performance characteristics, the BZW04-171-E Series diodes deliver reliable overvoltage protection, making them indispensable for any circuit design where reliability and efficiency are paramount. Their combination of high power handling, low clamping voltage, and compact footprint makes them a preferred choice for engineers seeking to enhance the resilience of their electronic systems.
