BZY93C15 – SOLID STATE

The BZY93C15 is a silicon planar Zener diode characterized by a Zener voltage of 15 V with a power dissipation rating of 20 W. It is constructed in a DO-4 hermetically sealed package, providing robust mechanical and environmental protection. The DO-4 package facilitates effective heat sinking, crucial for maintaining stable operation at the specified power level. The device’s Zener voltage is typically specified at a defined test current, and its performance is subject to temperature variations, exhibiting a temperature coefficient inherent to Zener diodes. Reverse leakage current and forward voltage drop are also key parameters for circuit design considerations. The BZY93C15 is suitable for voltage regulation and transient suppression applications where a relatively high power handling capability is required.
