BY229X-200,127

Overview

The BY229X-200,127 is a glass-passivated double diffused rectifier diode from the BY229X series. It features fast switching and soft recovery characteristics with a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 200 V and an average forward current rating of 8 A. The device utilizes the SOD113 leaded package with an isolated mounting tab. Key electrical parameters include a maximum reverse recovery time of 135 ns and a typical forward voltage drop of 1.5 V at 20 A.

Feature Summary

• Soft recovery characteristic to minimize electromagnetic interference during switching
• Isolated mounting tab for direct heatsink attachment without additional insulation
• Glass-passivated construction ensuring high thermal cycling performance

Applications

• Switched mode power supplies
• Television receivers
• Computer monitors

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '127' against the manufacturer's official ordering information to confirm packaging details such as reel size or tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required 200 V reverse voltage rating for the intended circuit design.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring low forward voltage drop and controlled reverse recovery behavior. The SOD113 package provides a compact solution with an isolated tab, suitable for designs where thermal management requires direct contact with a heatsink while maintaining electrical isolation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BY229X series of fast, soft-recovery rectifier diodes manufactured by NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips). The series includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings, including 400 V, 600 V, and 800 V options, all sharing similar dynamic characteristics and package styles.

Replacement Considerations

The BY229F-200 is a functional equivalent within the same product family, differing primarily in its use of the SOD100 package instead of the SOD113 configuration.
