STMicroelectronics 1-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode 5 kW 2-Pin R-6 BZW50-100B

STMicroelectronics BZW50-100B is a single-element, bi-directional TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diode that offers robust protection against voltage spikes in electronic circuits. With a peak pulse power dissipation rating of 5 kW and a 2-pin R-6 axial package, it is suitable for integration into through-hole mount applications requiring high-reliability surge suppression.

Featuring a minimum breakdown voltage of 111 V and a maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 100 V, this diode efficiently clamps transient voltages at 228 V to safeguard sensitive semiconductor components and circuit boards from damage caused by unexpected voltage surges.

The diode is designed to operate across a broad temperature spectrum from -65°C up to 175°C, making it suitable for industrial, automotive, and commercial electronic environments that encounter varying thermal conditions. Its compact physical dimensions, 9.1 mm in height, length, diameter, and width, allow versatile placement in tight PCB layouts.

With a peak pulse current capacity of 263 A and extremely low reverse leakage current of 5 μA, the BZW50-100B ensures effective transient suppression while maintaining power efficiency. This device adheres to industry norms but does not carry specific certifications, reinforcing its use in standard protection applications.
