BYM11-50HE3_A/I

Overview

The BYM11-50HE3_A/I is a standard rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 50 V and an average forward rectified current of 1 A. The device utilizes a DO-213AB (SMB) surface-mount package, designed for efficient thermal management in compact circuit layouts. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +175°C, ensuring reliability under varying thermal conditions.

Feature Summary

• Surface mount construction in a compact DO-213AB package
• High junction temperature rating up to 175°C
• Standard rectification capability with 1 A average forward current

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Reverse polarity protection circuits
• DC-DC converter output stages

Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'A/I' against official Vishay documentation to confirm specific tape-and-reel packaging or lead-free compliance status. Ensure the component matches the required DO-213AB footprint and pinout configuration for your PCB design. Cross-reference the full part number with the manufacturer's current datasheet to validate active status and any recent material changes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 50 V reverse voltage rating and 1 A continuous current capacity are required in a surface-mount form factor. The DO-213AB package offers a balance between current handling and board space efficiency. Consider the 175°C junction temperature limit for high-temperature environments compared to lower-rated alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BYM11 series of standard recovery rectifiers from Vishay. The series provides various voltage ratings for general-purpose applications. The BYM11 variant specifically targets low-voltage, medium-current scenarios where standard recovery characteristics are sufficient, distinguishing it from fast-recovery or Schottky counterparts in the same portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers for BYM11-50HE3_A/I are not available in the provided source data. Verify compatibility with generic SMB-1A/50V diodes only if electrical parameters match exactly.
