BYM07-200-E3/83

Overview

The BYM07-200-E3/83 is a surface-mount glass-passivated ultrafast rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It utilizes the Superectifier structure and is housed in a GL34 (DO-213AA) package. The device features a maximum average forward rectified current of 0.5 A, a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V, and a peak forward surge current rating of 10 A. Key electrical characteristics include an ultrafast reverse recovery time of 50 ns, a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.35 V at 0.5 A, and a maximum full load reverse current of 50 μA at 55 °C. The component supports an operating junction temperature range from -65 to +175 °C.

Feature Summary

• Superectifier structure designed for high reliability under demanding conditions
• Cavity-free glass-passivated junction construction
• Ultrafast reverse recovery time with low switching losses
• Compliant with MSL level 1 per J-STD-020 standards

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix /83 corresponds to the 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel delivery mode as specified in the datasheet. Confirm RoHS compliance via the E3 suffix and ensure the EGL34D base part number matches the 200 V rating. Validate terminal solderability against J-STD-002 requirements before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact surface-mount solution is required for high-frequency rectification. The GL34 package offers automated placement compatibility. Ensure the 200 V reverse voltage rating exceeds the circuit's peak inverse voltage. Consider the 50 ns recovery time for efficiency in fast-switching environments.

Part Context

This device belongs to the BYM07 series of ultrafast rectifiers from Vishay General Semiconductor. The series covers voltage ratings from 50 V to 400 V within the same GL34 package footprint. The EGL34D designation specifically identifies the 200 V variant within the product family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same package and voltage class include other BYM07 variants such as BYM07-150 or BYM07-300 if voltage margins allow. Cross-referencing with generic DO-213AA ultrafast rectifiers requires verifying matching reverse recovery times and forward voltage characteristics.

FAQ

How is the cathode polarity identified on the BYM07-200-E3/83?

Polarity is indicated by two bands on the component body. The first band denotes the device type, while the second band indicates the repetitive peak reverse voltage rating.

What is the maximum thermal resistance from junction to ambient?

The maximum thermal resistance from junction to ambient (RθJA) is 150 °C/W, measured on a 0.24" x 0.24" copper pad.
