BYM12-150HE3/96

Overview

The BYM12-150HE3/96 is a surface-mount ultrafast rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a Superectifier structure with a cavity-free glass-passivated junction in the GL41 (DO-213AB) package. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A and a peak forward surge current of 30 A. It offers a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 150 V, a maximum DC blocking voltage of 150 V, and a maximum RMS voltage of 105 V. Electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.25 V at 1.0 A, a maximum reverse recovery time of 50 ns, and a typical junction capacitance of 14 pF at 4.0 V and 1 MHz. Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 60 °C/W, and the operating junction temperature range extends from -65 °C to +175 °C.
