BYM12-100HE3/96

Overview

The BYM12-100HE3/96 is a surface-mount ultrafast rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It utilizes Superectifier structure technology and features a cavity-free glass-passivated junction within the GL41 (DO-213AB) package. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A at 75 °C and withstands a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.25 V, a peak forward surge current capability of 30 A, and an ultrafast reverse recovery time of 50 ns. It operates across a temperature range of -65 to +175 °C.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm the delivery mode and base quantity. Confirm that the component meets the required RoHS compliance standards and material categorization definitions. Ensure the selected package variant matches the automated placement requirements for the intended manufacturing process.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring fast switching speeds and high efficiency in compact surface-mount layouts. The 100 V rating suits low-voltage DC-DC conversion stages. Evaluate thermal management strategies based on the specified junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Validate the operating temperature range against the environmental conditions of the final assembly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BYM12-xxx series of ultrafast rectifiers from Vishay. The series offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 400 V while maintaining consistent current handling and package dimensions. The EGL41 designation identifies the specific GL41 package form factor used for automated surface-mount assembly.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference other parts within the BYM12-xxx series or EGL41 family for different voltage ratings. Verify mechanical compatibility with the DO-213AB footprint when substituting. Ensure replacement components meet the same ultrafast recovery time and thermal performance specifications.
