Manufacturer： ['vishay-general-semiconductor', 'taiwan-semiconductor', 'vishay']
series introduction
The BZW04-188B Series is a family of high-performance bidirectional transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes, engineered to provide robust protection against voltage spikes and transients in sensitive electronic circuits. These devices are particularly valued for their fast response times and low clamping voltage, ensuring that delicate components are shielded from potentially damaging overvoltages. The BZW04-188B Series boasts a breakdown voltage of 188V, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring reliable surge protection in a variety of environments.
Designed with versatility in mind, the BZW04-188B TVS diodes are housed in a compact DO-15 package, enabling efficient integration into both surface mount and through-hole designs. Their small footprint allows for space-efficient layout options, which is especially beneficial in size-constrained applications such as consumer electronics, automotive systems, and industrial control modules. The series features a high peak pulse power rating, enabling it to absorb significant voltage transients without compromising performance, thus enhancing the overall reliability of the system.
One of the key features of the BZW04-188B Series is its ability to handle repetitive surge events, making it suitable for use in environments where electrical noise and transients are common. This makes these diodes an excellent choice for protecting communication lines, data lines, and other critical components in telecommunications and networking equipment. Moreover, their bidirectional nature ensures that they can provide effective clamping in both polarities, allowing for simplified circuit designs and increased flexibility in application.
Typical applications for the BZW04-188B Series include power supply circuits, automotive electronics, and any scenario where transient voltage suppression is required. They are particularly effective in safeguarding sensitive devices against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and lightning strikes, providing peace of mind in applications that demand high reliability and performance. With their combination of compact design, high power handling capabilities, and versatile applications, the BZW04-188B Series stands out as an essential component for engineers seeking to enhance the durability and reliability of their electronic systems.
