BYG24JHM3_A/H

Overview

The BYG24JHM3_A/H is a fast recovery rectifier manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors, designed for surface-mount applications in the DO-214AC (SMA) package. It features a single configuration with a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.5 A and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. The device exhibits a fast recovery time of 140 ns and a low forward voltage drop of 1.25 V at rated current. It supports a maximum surge current of 30 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. The component is qualified under AEC-Q101 standards for automotive reliability.

Feature Summary

• Fast recovery characteristics with 140 ns switching time for efficient high-frequency operation
• Avalanche-rated construction capable of handling repetitive avalanche energy
• Automotive qualification compliant with AEC-Q101 reliability standards
• Glass passivation for terminal protection against mechanical stress

Applications

• Automotive electronics systems requiring AEC-Q101 compliance
• High-frequency DC-DC converter circuits
• Free-wheeling rectification in power supply designs
• Polarity protection in electronic modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes such as _A/H to ensure correct packaging and specific variant alignment. Confirm that the required AEC-Q101 automotive qualification is necessary for the target application. Check manufacturer documentation for RoHS compliance status and any REACH SVHC declarations relevant to the manufacturing region. Ensure storage conditions align with moisture sensitivity levels specified in the datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V blocking capability and 1.5 A continuous current rating are required in an SMA surface-mount footprint. The 140 ns recovery time makes it suitable for higher frequency applications compared to standard recovery diodes. Consider the avalanche rating if inductive load switching or transient voltage events are expected in the circuit design.

Part Context

This device belongs to the BYG series of fast recovery rectifiers from Vishay Semiconductors. The series utilizes glass passivation technology to enhance durability. The BYG24JHM3_A/H specifically targets the 600 V / 1.5 A segment, offering a balance between speed and current handling in a compact SMD package suitable for automated assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay BYG series parts like BYG10JHM3_A/H for similar specifications with different recovery times. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance before substituting with components from other manufacturers.
