STMicroelectronics 1-Element Bi-Directional TVS Diode 5 kW, 2-Pin R-6 BZW50-27B

STMicroelectronics BZW50-27B is a single-element, bi-directional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode designed for high power transient voltage protection in electronic circuits. This diode delivers a peak pulse power dissipation of 5 kW, ensuring excellent protection against voltage spikes and surges that could potentially damage sensitive semiconductor devices.

Encapsulated in a compact 2-pin through-hole R-6 package, this diode offers ease of mounting and integration on printed circuit boards typical in industrial, laboratory, and electronic manufacturing settings. Its bi-directional construction provides symmetrical protection in both forward and reverse voltage directions, making it suitable for AC and DC applications where transient voltages can occur.

The device has a minimum breakdown voltage (Vbr) of 30 V and a maximum reverse standoff voltage (Vwm) of 27 V. It clamps voltage transients at 62 V, safely limiting voltage excursions. The diode can handle a maximum peak pulse current (Ippm) of 968 A, providing robust defense against large transient currents.

Operational temperature range extends from -65°C to +175°C, allowing use in harsh environmental conditions including automotive electronics, power supplies, and industrial controls. The maximum reverse leakage current is limited to 5 μA, enhancing efficiency by minimizing leakage losses during normal operation.

This product does not carry specific automotive or industry certifications but is widely used across electronic component applications to improve system reliability and reduce downtime caused by voltage transient damage.
