BYG10GHM3_A/I

Overview

The BYG10GHM3_A/I is a standard recovery rectifier from Vishay Semiconductors, rated for 400 V reverse voltage and 1.5 A forward current. It utilizes the DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package and features an avalanche capability. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 1.15 V at 1.5 A, a reverse leakage current of 1 µA, and a typical reverse recovery time of 4 µs. The device supports a maximum surge current of 30 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +150°C. It holds AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive applications.

Feature Summary

• Avalanche-rated construction for enhanced robustness against transient voltage events
• AEC-Q101 qualified for reliability in automotive electronic environments
• Surface-mount design in compact DO-214AC (SMA) package for automated assembly

Applications

• Automotive power supply circuits requiring high reliability
• General-purpose rectification in industrial electronics
• DC-DC converter output stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'A/I' corresponds to the specific tape-and-reel packaging configuration required for your production line. Confirm that the DO-214AC footprint matches your PCB layout guidelines. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives as indicated by the manufacturer's documentation. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to guarantee parameter accuracy during final validation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery diode with avalanche capability is needed in an SMA package. It serves as a suitable replacement for through-hole equivalents where space constraints exist. Consider the 4 µs recovery time for switching frequency limitations. Verify thermal management requirements given the 150°C maximum junction temperature rating.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BYG10 series of super-fast recovery rectifiers manufactured by Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings while maintaining consistent current handling capabilities. The 'G' designation typically indicates the use of green molding compound compliant with environmental standards. The 'HM3' suffix denotes halogen-free construction.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source data. Engineers should consult official Vishay cross-reference tools or authorized distributor databases for verified alternatives. Ensure any substitute maintains equivalent avalanche ratings and AEC-Q101 qualification if automotive use is intended.
