Zener Diode 48V 0.5W
The Diode 48V is a silicon planar device designed for voltage stabilization and reference applications. When operated in its reverse breakdown region, it provides a controlled voltage across the diode, making it useful in regulation, clamping, and protection circuits.
The supplied BZX55C datasheet confirms the family’s axial glass construction, 500mW maximum power dissipation, and through-hole mounting format. However, the provided electrical-characteristics table does not list a 48V BZX55C variant, so exact 48V electrical parameters such as Zener voltage tolerance, test current, dynamic resistance, and leakage current are not supported by the supplied source.
Features:
- Silicon planar construction.
- Axial glass package.
- Through-hole mounting.
- Suitable for voltage stabilization.
- Useful for voltage reference circuits.
- Suitable for voltage clamping and protection.
- Polarized device with cathode band marking.
- Compact PCB mounting format.
