BZX55C18-TAP Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BZX55C18-TAP is a small-signal Zener diode from the BZX55 series, designed for voltage stabilization. It provides a nominal Zener voltage of 18 V with ±5% tolerance and a maximum power dissipation of 500 mW.

 

Electrical characteristics include a maximum impedance (Zzt) of 50 Ω, a reverse leakage current of 100 nA at 13 V, and a maximum forward voltage of 1.5 V at 200 mA. The device operates over a temperature range of -65°C to +175°C, with a maximum junction temperature of 175°C.

 

Supplied in a DO-204AH (DO-35) axial through-hole package, the diode weighs approximately 125 mg and is suitable for automated assembly using ammopack or tape-and-reel packaging. The datasheet specifies moisture sensitivity level 1 and a peak soldering temperature of 260°C.

 

Typical applications include voltage stabilization in low-power supplies, reference voltage generation, and signal clamping. The BZX55 series is characterized by a very sharp reverse characteristic, low reverse current, high stability, and low noise.
