BYM11-800HE3/97

Overview

The BYM11-800HE3/97 is a surface-mount glass passivated junction fast switching rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It belongs to the Superectifier® series and utilizes the GL41 (DO-213AB) package. The device features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 800 V, a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A at 55 °C, and a peak forward surge current capability of 30 A. Its maximum reverse recovery time is specified as 150 ns, with a typical junction capacitance of 15 pF at 4 V and 1 MHz.

Feature Summary

• Superectifier structure designed for high reliability conditions
• Fast switching characteristics optimized for high efficiency applications
• Low leakage current performance across operating temperatures
• High forward surge current capability

Applications

• Fast switching rectification in power supplies
• Inverter circuits
• Converter topologies

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official datasheets. Validate package markings against manufacturer specifications. Ensure storage conditions meet moisture sensitivity level requirements. Check for specific automotive qualification documentation if required for target application environments.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high voltage blocking capability is required in a compact surface-mount form factor. Consider the 150 ns reverse recovery time for high-frequency switching operations. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the 1.0 A average current rating and ambient temperature derating curves. Verify compatibility with automated placement processes due to the GL41 package design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BYM11 series of fast switching rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 1000 V within the same physical package footprint. The 'H' suffix typically denotes specific manufacturing or quality variations, while 'E3' indicates lead-free and halogen-free construction compliant with RoHS directives. The GL41 package provides a standardized mounting solution for surface-mount technology assembly lines.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other Vishay parts within the BYM11 series with equivalent or higher voltage ratings, such as BYM11-1000. Cross-manufacturer equivalents should match the DO-213AB package, 800 V minimum reverse voltage, 1.0 A forward current, and 150 ns maximum reverse recovery time specifications.
