BYM07-200HE3/98

Overview

The BYM07-200HE3/98 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) plastic package. The device features a maximum average forward rectified current of 0.5 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V. 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 peak forward surge current rating of 10 A. The component supports a maximum operating junction temperature of 175 °C.

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix /98 corresponds to the specified delivery mode of 2500 units per 7-inch diameter plastic tape and reel. Confirm compliance with RoHS directives and JESD 201 class 1A whisker test requirements. Ensure the selected variant matches the required voltage rating within the 50 V to 400 V range. Validate thermal resistance parameters against specific PCB pad layout dimensions for accurate heat dissipation calculations.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required 200 V blocking voltage and 0.5 A continuous current capacity. Consider the 50 ns reverse recovery time for high-frequency switching applications where low switching losses are critical. Evaluate the GL34 package dimensions for board space constraints. Verify that the operating environment stays within the -65 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BYM07 series of surface-mount ultrafast rectifiers from Vishay General Semiconductor. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 400 V, all sharing the same GL34 package and general electrical characteristics. The 'E3' suffix indicates lead-free and RoHS compliance, while the 'H' prefix typically denotes specific manufacturing or testing variations within the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include BYM07-50HE3/98, BYM07-100HE3/98, BYM07-150HE3/98, BYM07-300HE3/98, and BYM07-400HE3/98. These parts share identical packaging and current ratings but differ in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings.
