The BY500-100-E3/73 is a soft recovery fast-switching silicon rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a DO-201AD plastic package with matte tin-plated axial leads. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 5.0 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. Key electrical characteristics include a peak forward surge current of 200 A, a maximum reverse recovery time of 200 ns, and a typical junction capacitance of 28 pF at 4.0 V and 1 MHz.
Verify the specific ordering suffix /73 corresponds to the required Ammo Pack packaging configuration when sourcing. Confirm that the E3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance and halogen-free status as defined by Vishay standards. Ensure the component meets JESD 201 class 1A whisker test requirements if applicable to your design specifications.
Select this component for designs requiring a 100 V blocking voltage with a 5 A continuous current rating. Consider the 200 ns reverse recovery time for medium-frequency switching applications where soft recovery helps limit RF interference. Verify thermal management capabilities against the specified junction temperature range of -50 °C to +125 °C.
This part belongs to the BY500 series of soft recovery fast-switching plastic rectifiers from Vishay General Semiconductor. The series includes variants with reverse voltages ranging from 100 V to 800 V, all sharing identical mechanical dimensions and general electrical ratings except for the voltage specification. The DO-201AD package provides a standardized form factor for through-hole mounting.
Direct substitutes within the same series include BY500-200-E3/73, BY500-400-E3/73, BY500-600-E3/73, and BY500-800-E3/73, which share the same package and current ratings but offer higher reverse voltage capabilities.
