Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging details and compliance status. Ensure that the requested variant matches the required voltage rating and package type. Confirm RoHS compliance and material categorization requirements prior to procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor listings to validate authenticity and availability.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring fast switching speeds and low reverse recovery charge in compact surface-mount layouts. The DO-213AA package is suitable for automated placement processes. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics when designing heat dissipation strategies for high ambient temperatures. Validate the 50 V reverse voltage rating against the circuit's peak inverse voltage requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the BYM07-xxx series of surface-mount glass passivated ultrafast rectifiers from Vishay. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 400 V, all sharing similar electrical characteristics and mechanical dimensions. The EGL34x designation corresponds to the specific voltage and polarity coding within this product family.

Replacement Considerations
