BZW50-18 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BZW50-18 is a unidirectional transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It is designed to protect sensitive electronic circuits from voltage transients induced by lightning, inductive load switching, and electrostatic discharge. The device features a reverse standoff voltage of 18V and a clamping voltage of 41.5V, ensuring that downstream components are not exposed to damaging overvoltage conditions.

 

With a peak pulse power rating of 5000W (5kW) and a peak pulse current capability of 1446A (8/20µs waveform), the BZW50-18 can handle high-energy transients. The diode has a capacitance of 11500pF at 1MHz, which may be a consideration for high-frequency applications. It is a Zener-based TVS diode with a single unidirectional channel and does not provide power line protection.

 

The BZW50-18 is housed in an R-6 package and is designed for through-hole mounting. This package is suitable for high-power applications and provides robust thermal performance. The device is RoHS3 compliant and has an MSL of 1 (unlimited). It is intended for general-purpose transient protection applications.
