BYD13KGP-E3/73

Overview

The BYD13KGP-E3/73 is a standard recovery rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage of 800 V and an average forward current rating of 1 A. The device utilizes glass passivation for junction protection and is housed in the DO-204AL (DO-41) axial through-hole package. It is classified as a general-purpose diode with a standard recovery speed exceeding 500 ns.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction for enhanced stability
• High voltage blocking capability up to 800 V
• Standard recovery speed suitable for general applications

Applications

• General purpose rectification circuits
• Power supply input stages
• Inverter freewheeling paths

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific lot traceability upon receipt. Ensure storage conditions align with semiconductor handling standards to prevent moisture damage or lead oxidation prior to assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high reverse voltage tolerance in a standard axial package. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the 1 A continuous current rating. Consider the standard recovery time when assessing switching losses in higher frequency applications compared to fast recovery alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's BYD series of glass-passivated silicon planar power rectifiers. The suffix E3 indicates RoHS compliance, while /73 denotes the tape and box packaging format. These components are designed for robust performance in industrial and consumer electronics environments.

Replacement Considerations
