BYM12-200-E3/96

Overview

The BYM12-200-E3/96 is a surface-mount glass-passivated ultrafast rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It utilizes the Superectifier structure for high reliability and features a cavity-free junction within a 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 200 V. Key electrical characteristics include an ultrafast reverse recovery time of 50 ns, a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.0 V at 1.0 A, and a peak forward surge current capability of 30 A. It operates within a junction temperature range of -65 to +175 °C.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number EGL41D-E3/96 corresponds to the BYM12-200 variant when ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the E3 suffix and ensure the delivery mode matches the required reel size, such as 7-inch or 13-inch plastic tape and reel configurations. Cross-reference datasheet document number 88581 for the most current technical specifications before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring fast switching speeds and low reverse recovery charge. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified thermal limits, utilizing the provided derating curves for ambient temperatures above 75 °C. Verify that the PCB pad layout matches the GL41 package dimensions to guarantee proper solderability and mechanical stability during automated placement processes.

Part Context

This device belongs to the BYM12-xxx series, also identified as EGL41x, which includes variants with different voltage ratings ranging from 50 V to 400 V. The 'EGL41D' designation specifically denotes the 200 V rating within this family. All members share identical physical packaging and general electrical characteristics, differing primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include BYM12-50, BYM12-100, BYM12-150, BYM12-300, and BYM12-400, provided the voltage rating meets the circuit requirements.
