Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number suffix against official Vishay documentation to confirm package type and compliance status. Ensure that the EGL41D variant matches the required voltage rating and thermal specifications for the target application environment. Cross-reference datasheet revision dates to validate parameter accuracy before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring fast switching speeds and high reliability in compact surface-mount layouts. The DO-213AB package is suitable for automated placement processes. Consider the 150 V blocking voltage and 1.0 A current rating to ensure adequate headroom for the intended load conditions and operating temperatures.

Part Context

This component belongs to the BYM12-xxx series of ultrafast rectifiers from Vishay General Semiconductor. The series utilizes the GL41 (DO-213AB) package and offers various voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 400 V. The 'E3' suffix indicates RoHS compliance and lead-free terminals, while the '/96' code specifies tape and reel packaging.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes within the same family include BYM12-100-E3/96 and BYM12-200-E3/96. These parts share identical mechanical dimensions and electrical characteristics except for the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating.
