BYG24GHE3_A/H

Overview

The BYG24GHE3_A/H is a fast avalanche rectifier manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. It features a glass passivated junction and is designed for high-frequency rectification and freewheeling applications in switching mode converters and inverters. The device operates with a forward current of 1.5 A and supports reverse voltages up to 600 V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum reverse current of 1 µA, a forward voltage of 1.25 V, and a reverse recovery time of 140 ns. It is qualified under AEC-Q101 standards and housed in the DO-214AC (SMA) surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Fast avalanche technology with soft recovery characteristics
• Glass passivated junction for enhanced reliability
• Low reverse current leakage
• Automotive grade qualification

Applications

• High frequency rectification in switching mode converters
• Freewheeling applications in inverters
• Consumer electronics power supplies

• Telecommunication infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Vishay documentation to confirm exact voltage ratings and package variations. Confirm AEC-Q101 automotive qualification status through authorized distributors. Check for RoHS compliance and WEEE directive adherence prior to integration. Ensure the DO-214AC package matches design constraints. Validate availability through official channels as supply levels fluctuate.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring fast recovery times and low reverse leakage in compact surface-mount layouts. The 1.5 A average forward current rating suits moderate power applications. Consider the 600 V reverse voltage capability for higher voltage bus systems. The glass passivation offers robust protection compared to plastic encapsulated alternatives in harsh environments.
