BYM10-200HE3_A/H

Overview

The BYM10-200HE3_A/H is a silicon Schottky rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and an average forward rectified current of 10 A per diode. The device utilizes the HE3 (High Efficiency 3) technology, which optimizes internal structures to minimize forward voltage drop and reduce power losses. It is housed in a DO-201AC (DO-15) axial leaded package, suitable for through-hole mounting applications requiring high efficiency and low thermal resistance.

Feature Summary

• Incorporates HE3 technology for optimized internal die geometry, resulting in lower forward voltage drop and reduced power dissipation compared to standard Schottky rectifiers.
• Features ultra-low reverse leakage current that remains stable across varying junction temperatures, enhancing overall system reliability.
• Constructed with a monolithic structure utilizing planar chip technology to ensure robust performance under high surge current conditions.

Applications

• DC-to-DC converters
• Power factor correction circuits
• Free-wheeling rectification in low-voltage high-frequency inverters

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A/H' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm compliance with RoHS directives and Halogen-free status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required packaging format, as suffixes may indicate variations in tape-and-reel specifications or marking codes. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to confirm the electrical characteristics align with your design requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require high efficiency at moderate voltages around 200 V. The choice between standard Schottky and HE3 variants should be based on thermal management constraints; HE3 offers superior efficiency. Verify that the DO-201AC package size fits the PCB layout and that the thermal resistance capabilities meet the ambient operating conditions of the target application.

Part Context

This component belongs to Vishay's BYM series of Schottky barrier rectifiers, specifically the HE3 line designed for enhanced energy efficiency. The series targets applications where minimizing conduction losses is critical. The DO-201AC package provides a balance of current handling capability and mechanical stability for general-purpose industrial and consumer electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 200 V reverse voltage, 10 A current rating, and DO-201AC package. Consider other Vishay HE3 parts within the same voltage class if availability is an issue. Ensure any substitute maintains similar reverse leakage characteristics and forward voltage profiles to preserve circuit efficiency.
