BYM10-600HE3/97

Overview

The BYM10-600HE3/97 is a surface-mount glass passivated junction rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It belongs to the Superectifier® series and utilizes a MELF (DO-213AB) package. The device features a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V. It supports a peak forward surge current of 30 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -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 capability with robust thermal performance
• Ideal for automated placement processes in manufacturing

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation, as it dictates delivery mode and base quantity. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material categorization requirements prior to procurement. Ensure the component meets MSL level 1 specifications and LF maximum peak temperature limits for your assembly process. Cross-reference the part number with the manufacturer's latest datasheet revision to avoid discrepancies.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single circuit configuration with a 1.0 A average forward current rating is required. The 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage rating suits applications needing moderate blocking capabilities. Consider the MELF package for space-constrained designs requiring automated placement. Evaluate the thermal resistance parameters to ensure adequate heat dissipation within the operating temperature range.

Part Context

This rectifier is part of the BYM10-xxx and GL41x product families from Vishay. These components are standard recovery devices available in various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1600 V. The family shares common mechanical data, including the molded epoxy over glass body construction and matte tin plated leads. They are designed for general-purpose rectification across multiple industries.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay Superectifier® parts or equivalent MELF package rectifiers. Verify matching electrical parameters such as 1.0 A current rating and 600 V reverse voltage. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprint and polarity markings.
