BYC30W-1200PQ

Overview

The BYC30W-1200PQ is a hyperfast power diode manufactured by WeEn Semiconductors. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1200V and an average forward current rating of 30A. The device utilizes a TO-247 package for through-hole mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 2V and a typical recovery time of 18ns. The component supports a maximum surge current of 30A and has a low reverse leakage current of 10uA.

Feature Summary

• Hyperfast recovery performance with 18ns typical reverse recovery time
• High voltage capability rated at 1200V repetitive peak reverse voltage
• Robust thermal management via TO-247 through-hole package

Applications

• High-frequency switching power supplies
• Industrial motor drive circuits
• Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PQ' against official datasheets to confirm packaging details, as suffixes often denote tape-and-reel or rail pack configurations rather than functional changes. Ensure compatibility with RoHS directives if required by the target application environment. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate current availability status and lead times before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-voltage isolation and fast switching speeds. The 1200V rating provides sufficient headroom for industrial mains voltages. The TO-247 package facilitates effective heat dissipation for continuous 30A operation. Evaluate thermal resistance requirements in the final design to ensure junction temperatures remain within safe operating limits under peak load conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the BYC30W series of hyperfast power diodes from WeEn Semiconductors. The series is designed for general-purpose rectification in high-efficiency power conversion systems. The 1200V variant specifically targets applications demanding higher voltage blocking capabilities compared to lower-rated counterparts in the same family.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes such as the BYC30W-1200P if pinout and electrical parameters match exactly. Verify that alternative components meet the 18ns recovery time requirement to maintain circuit timing integrity.
