BYM07-150HE3/98

Overview

The BYM07-150HE3/98 is a surface-mount ultrafast rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a Superectifier structure with a cavity-free glass-passivated junction in a GL34 (DO-213AA) package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 150 V, a maximum average forward rectified current of 0.5 A at 75 °C, and a peak forward surge current of 10 A. The device exhibits an ultrafast reverse recovery time of 50 ns and a typical junction capacitance of 7.0 pF at 1 MHz.

Feature Summary

• Superectifier structure designed for high reliability under demanding conditions
• Cavity-free glass-passivated junction construction
• Ultrafast reverse recovery characteristics enabling low switching losses
• Optimized for automated placement processes

Applications

• High frequency rectification in switching mode converters
• Freewheeling applications in inverters
• Consumer electronics power supplies
• Computer equipment power systems
• Automotive electronic circuits
• Telecommunication infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging configuration and compliance status. Confirm that the component meets RoHS requirements and passes the JESD 201 class 1A whisker test as specified for the E3 suffix. Ensure the delivery mode matches the required base quantity and tape reel diameter for the manufacturing line.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring fast switching speeds and low reverse recovery charge. The 150 V rating suits intermediate voltage DC-DC conversion stages. Consider the thermal resistance values for heat dissipation planning in compact layouts. Verify compatibility with automated assembly equipment due to the specific GL34 package dimensions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BYM07 series of ultrafast rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 400 V within the same GL34 package footprint. This allows designers to standardize on a single package type while adjusting voltage specifications across different product lines or power supply variants.

Replacement Considerations

Check datasheets for other BYM07 variants with matching 150 V ratings. Verify that alternative ultrafast rectifiers in the DO-213AA package maintain similar reverse recovery times and forward voltage characteristics to ensure circuit performance parity.
