BY299P-E3/54

Overview

The BY299P-E3/54 is a standard recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 800 V and an average forward rectified current of 2 A. The component utilizes a DO-201AD axial through-hole package. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA at the rated voltage, a forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 2 A, and a peak non-repetitive forward surge current capability of 60 A. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to 175°C.

Feature Summary

• High voltage blocking capability suitable for demanding power supply applications
• Robust thermal performance with extended operating junction temperature range
• Low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency in rectification circuits

Applications

• General purpose rectification in AC-DC power supplies
• Freewheeling diodes in inductive load protection circuits
• High voltage DC power supply output stages

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by the E3 suffix. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes prior to procurement. Ensure storage conditions meet semiconductor handling standards to prevent moisture sensitivity issues during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 800 V rating and 2 A continuous current are required in a DO-201AD package. Compare reverse recovery time specifications against circuit switching requirements. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the specified junction temperature limits and ambient operating conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SUPERECTIFIER series of standard recovery diodes from Vishay. It shares the DO-201AD axial leaded form factor common to high-voltage general-purpose rectifiers. The product line emphasizes reliability in industrial and commercial power conversion environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include BY299GP-E3/54 and BY299H-E3/54. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence before substitution.
