STMicroelectronics 1-Element Uni-Directional TVS Diode 5000 W Peak Pulse Power, 2-Pin R-6 BZW50-56

STMicroelectronics BZW50-56 is a 1-element uni-directional TVS diode, engineered to provide superior transient voltage protection in electronic circuits. It features a robust peak pulse power of 5000 W, making it suitable for safeguarding sensitive components against voltage spikes and electrical surges.

This device is designed with a single diode configuration and a uni-directional orientation, delivering targeted protection in applications where voltage transients could cause damage. It mounts through hole with a 2-pin R-6 package ensuring ease of installation in various PCB assemblies.

With a minimum breakdown voltage of 62.2 V and maximum reverse stand-off voltage of 56 V, this diode clamps transient voltages effectively to 129 V, providing reliable suppression during surge events. The maximum peak pulse current of 465 A allows it to endure strong surge currents generated by switching or lightning strikes.

Engineered for harsh environments, its operating temperature range spans from -65°C to 175°C, maintaining performance across automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics industries. The diode’s uniform compact dimensions of 9.1 mm diameter, width, length, and height optimize space-saving on PCB designs.

STMicroelectronics BZW50-56 is UL recognised, reflecting compliance with industry standards for quality and safety. It is ideal for protecting power supplies, telecommunication devices, industrial controls, and other sensitive electronic equipment from transient overvoltages.
