The BZX85B24 is a 1.3W Zener diode from Vishay. Zener diodes are semiconductor devices that allow current to flow in either a forward or reverse direction. They are specifically designed to reliably operate in reverse breakdown, which means they can maintain a stable voltage across their terminals when a reverse voltage exceeds the Zener voltage (in this case, 24V).

Applications

• Voltage stabilization
• Voltage regulation
• Overvoltage protection
• Clipping and clamping circuits

Features

• High stability
• High reliability
• 1.3W power dissipation
• Zener voltage of 24V
• DO-41 package

Benefits

• Provides a stable voltage reference
• Protects circuits from overvoltage conditions
• Simple to use in various circuit designs
• Reliable performance under different operating conditions

The BZX85B24 is commonly used in power supplies, voltage regulators, and other electronic circuits where a stable voltage reference or overvoltage protection is required. Its robust design and well-defined Zener voltage make it a suitable choice for a wide range of applications. The DO-41 package allows for easy mounting and integration into existing circuits.
