BYM12-100HE3/97

Overview

The BYM12-100HE3/97 is a surface-mount ultrafast rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a Superectifier structure with a cavity-free glass-passivated junction in the GL41 (DO-213AB) package. The device provides a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A and a peak forward surge current of 30 A. It has a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V, a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.25 V at 1.0 A, and a maximum reverse recovery time of 50 ns. Operating temperatures range from -65 °C to +175 °C.

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm datasheet revision status and RoHS compliance documentation prior to integration. Ensure storage conditions maintain moisture sensitivity level ratings. Validate part markings against official Vishay specifications to prevent counterfeit introduction into supply chains.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring fast switching speeds and low reverse recovery charge. The 100 V rating suits low-voltage DC-DC conversion stages. Verify thermal management requirements align with the specified junction temperature limits. Consider the GL41 package dimensions for PCB layout constraints during the initial design phase.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BYM12 series of ultrafast rectifiers within Vishay's Superectifier product line. The HE3 suffix indicates lead-free termination and halogen-free compound compliance. The /97 designation specifies reel packaging for automated surface-mount assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Check for EGL41B-E3/97 as a potential equivalent based on identical electrical characteristics and package type. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution.
