BYM10-1000/1

Overview

The BYM10-1000/1 is a surface-mount glass passivated junction rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It utilizes the Superectifier structure and operates in the MELF (DO-213AB) package. The device provides a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A and withstands a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.2 V at 1.0 A, a maximum DC reverse current of 10 μA at rated blocking voltage, and a peak forward surge current capability of 30 A. The component supports an operating junction temperature range from -65 °C to +175 °C.

Feature Summary

• Superectifier structure designed for high reliability under demanding conditions
• Low forward voltage drop and low leakage current characteristics
• High forward surge current capability for robust performance
• Ideal for automated placement processes

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix matches the required delivery mode and base quantity specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization requirements against project standards. Ensure the selected variant aligns with the specific voltage rating and packaging needs for the intended assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a surface-mount solution is required for general-purpose rectification up to 1000 V reverse voltage. The MELF package offers a compact form factor suitable for automated placement. Consider the thermal resistance values and derating curves if operation near the maximum junction temperature limit is anticipated.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BYM10-xxx series of Superectifier diodes, which are available in various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1600 V. The GL41x designation corresponds to the specific voltage class within the MELF package family. These devices share common mechanical and electrical features tailored for high-reliability surface-mount applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 1.0 A current rating, 1000 V reverse voltage, and MELF (DO-213AB) package dimensions. Verify equivalent forward voltage and reverse leakage characteristics to ensure circuit compatibility.
