Frequently asked questions
What is the price of Zener Diode BZX55C16 16V 0.5W DO-35 in Egypt?
Zener Diode BZX55C16 16V 0.5W DO-35 currently costs 0.5 EGP in Egypt.
Where can I buy Zener Diode BZX55C16 16V 0.5W DO-35 in Egypt?
Zener Diode BZX55C16 16V 0.5W DO-35 is available from Makers Electronics. Compare the offers above to find the best price.
How do I connect the BZX55C16 in a circuit?
Connect the cathode (black band) toward the positive side and the anode to ground, with a series resistor between the supply and the cathode. The diode works in reverse breakdown, so it must be oriented this way.
Can I use it on a 12V supply to get 16V?
No. A zener regulates to its own voltage only when the supply is higher than the zener voltage. A 12V supply cannot raise the output to 16V.
