STMicroelectronics 1-Element Uni-Directional TVS Diode 5 kW 2-Pin R-6 BZW50-22

STMicroelectronics BZW50-22 is a high-performance 1-element uni-directional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode engineered to protect sensitive electronics from voltage spikes and surges. With a peak pulse power dissipation rating of 5 kW, it safely clamps transient voltages to prevent damage to downstream circuitry.

Featuring a single diode configuration in a 2-pin R-6 through-hole package, the BZW50-22 diode offers a minimum breakdown voltage of 24.4V and a maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 22V. This ensures precise conduction only during voltage surges, maintaining normal operation under typical voltages. Its compact 9.1mm diameter, height, length, and width make it ideal for compact PCB layouts.

The device operates reliably over a broad temperature range from -65°C to 175°C, making it suitable for industrial, automotive, and environmental extremes. The maximum reverse leakage current is limited to 5μA, minimizing standby power consumption. A test current of 1 mA guarantees device performance meets stringent standards.

Electrical transient events are dealing with up to 1177A maximum peak pulse current, assuring excellent transient suppression capability in power electronics, industrial control systems, telecommunication equipment, and HV devices. The R-6 package allows straightforward mounting through-hole for durability and thermal conduction.

Production of these TVS diodes adheres to all applicable STMicroelectronics quality and material standards, securing reliable supply for electronic component manufacturers, system integrators, and repair operations requiring consistent transient voltage protection solutions.
