Additional Details

The BZW03C22 features a standoff voltage of 22V, with a breakdown voltage typically around 24.4V. Its peak pulse power dissipation is rated to a certain level; consult datasheet for precise value. The low clamping voltage ensures that the voltage across the protected circuit is limited to a safe level during a transient event. The glass-passivated junction contributes to the device's high reliability and long-term stability. The DO-204AC package provides good thermal performance and allows for easy mounting on printed circuit boards.
