The EDZV16B is a Zener diode manufactured by Rohm Semiconductor, designed for voltage regulation and overvoltage protection. It maintains a stable voltage of 16V across its terminals when the reverse voltage exceeds the Zener voltage. This makes it useful in various electronic circuits for providing a reference voltage, clipping signals, and protecting sensitive components from voltage spikes.

Applications

• Voltage regulation
• Overvoltage protection
• Clipping circuits
• Voltage reference
• Surge protection

Features

• Zener voltage of 16V
• Small surface mount package (typically SOD-323)
• High surge current capability
• Lead-free construction

Benefits

• Provides stable and accurate 16V regulation.
• Protects circuits from excessive voltage.
• Allows for compact designs due to small package size.
• Ensures reliable performance under surge conditions.
• Compliant with environmental regulations.

Additional Details

The EDZV16B typically has a power dissipation rating of around 200mW. It features a low reverse leakage current and a stable Zener voltage over a wide temperature range. The device is commonly used in power supplies, telecommunication equipment, and automotive electronics to ensure stable operation and protect against voltage transients. Its surge current capability is specifically designed to handle voltage spikes without damage. The small SOD-323 package allows for high-density board designs.
