BZW50-68B Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended operating voltage range for the BZW50-68B?
  The recommended operating voltage range for the BZW50-68B is 50-100V, but it can withstand up to 120V for short periods.
• How do I ensure the BZW50-68B is properly cooled?
  Proper cooling can be achieved by using a heat sink with a thermal resistance of less than 10°C/W, and ensuring good airflow around the device.
• What is the maximum current rating for the BZW50-68B?
  The maximum current rating for the BZW50-68B is 68A, but it's recommended to derate the current to 50A for continuous operation.
• Can I use the BZW50-68B in a switching application?
  Yes, the BZW50-68B can be used in switching applications, but it's recommended to limit the switching frequency to less than 100kHz to minimize losses.
• How do I protect the BZW50-68B from overvoltage and overcurrent?
  It's recommended to use a voltage clamp or a zener diode to protect the BZW50-68B from overvoltage, and a current sense resistor or a fuse to protect it from overcurrent.
