BYM10-100-E3/97

Overview

The BYM10-100-E3/97 is a surface-mount glass passivated junction rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It utilizes the Superectifier structure and operates within a MELF (DO-213AB) package. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A and withstands a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. Key electrical parameters include a peak forward surge current of 30 A, a maximum DC reverse current of 10 μA at rated blocking voltage, and a typical instantaneous forward voltage of 1.1 V to 1.2 V at 1.0 A. The component features a maximum operating junction temperature of 175 °C and meets MSL level 1 requirements.

Feature Summary

• Superectifier structure designed for high reliability conditions
• Glass-passivated junction with molded epoxy over glass body
• Ideal for automated placement processes
• Low forward voltage drop and low leakage current characteristics

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Inverter and converter circuits
• Freewheeling diodes for consumer electronics
• Automotive applications
• Telecommunication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix /97 corresponds to the 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel packaging configuration containing 5000 units per base quantity. Confirm that the E3 suffix indicates RoHS compliance and adherence to JESD 201 class 1A whisker testing standards. Ensure the GL41B designation matches the required 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage rating for the intended circuit design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single circuit configuration with a 1.0 A average forward current capability is required. The 100 V maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating defines its suitability for specific voltage levels. Consider the MELF (DO-213AB) package dimensions for surface-mount layout constraints. Verify thermal resistance values against the expected ambient temperature and derating curves for reliable operation.
