Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation to confirm the exact reverse voltage rating and packaging configuration. Ensure the ordering code matches the required tape and reel specifications. Confirm compliance requirements such as material categorization definitions before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 1000 V reverse voltage rating and 3 A continuous forward current. Consider the 20 μs reverse recovery time for switching frequency limitations. Evaluate thermal resistance characteristics relative to the intended PCB mounting spacing and ambient temperature conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BY228 series of standard avalanche sinterglass diodes from Vishay Semiconductors. The series includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings, such as the BY228-15. These components are designed for general-purpose rectification and clamping applications utilizing robust glass-passivated technology.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay BY228 series parts like BY228-15 for higher voltage requirements. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions when substituting with generic equivalents.
