BYM07-50-E3/83

Overview

The BYM07-50-E3/83 is a surface-mount ultrafast rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It utilizes the GL34 (DO-213AA) package and features a cavity-free glass-passivated junction with Superectifier structure for high reliability. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 0.5 A at 75 °C and withstands a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum full load reverse current of 50 µA at 55 °C, a typical junction capacitance of 7.0 pF at 4 V and 1 MHz, and a maximum reverse recovery time of 50 ns under specified test conditions.

• Automotive electronic circuits
• Telecommunication infrastructure

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the delivery mode and base quantity. The /83 suffix indicates a 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel with a base quantity of 9000 units. Confirm that the EGL34A designation corresponds to the 50 V rating variant. Ensure compliance requirements such as RoHS and MSL level 1 are validated against the project specifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a surface-mount ultrafast rectifier is required for high-frequency switching applications. The 0.5 A current rating and 50 V blocking voltage define the operational limits. Consider the GL34 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate the thermal resistance values if operating near the maximum junction temperature limit of 175 °C. Verify that the 50 ns reverse recovery time meets the system's switching speed requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BYM07 series of surface-mount glass passivated ultrafast rectifiers from Vishay. The series covers voltage ratings from 50 V to 400 V, distinguished by color-coded polarity bands. The EGL34 prefix identifies the specific voltage variant within the GL34 package family. These devices are designed for general-purpose high-efficiency rectification in compact electronic designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same voltage and current class include other BYM07 variants with different voltage ratings, provided the circuit allows for higher blocking voltages. Cross-brand equivalents must match the GL34 footprint, 0.5 A current rating, and ultrafast recovery characteristics. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance before substitution.
