BYM36D-TAP

Overview

The BYM36D-TAP is an avalanche diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a glass passivated junction and a hermetically sealed package designed for high reliability. The component supports a reverse voltage of 800V and an average rectified current of 2.9A. It utilizes the SOD-64 surface-mount package, offering low switching losses and low reverse current characteristics suitable for efficient circuit protection applications.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction construction
• Hermetically sealed package design
• Low switching losses capability
• Low reverse current characteristic

Applications

• High voltage circuit protection
• General purpose rectification
• Industrial electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TAP indicates tape-and-reel packaging configuration when sourcing. Confirm the 800V rating and 2.9A current capacity match system requirements. Ensure compatibility with SOD-64 footprint constraints during PCB layout review.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust high-voltage handling in a compact surface-mount form factor. The hermetic seal provides environmental resistance. Consider the low reverse current for efficiency-sensitive designs where leakage must be minimized under high bias conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BYM series of avalanche diodes from Vishay. It is distinct from standard Zener diodes due to its avalanche breakdown mechanism. The SOD-64 package allows for automated assembly processes while maintaining high voltage isolation capabilities within small electronic modules.

Replacement Considerations

Check datasheets for equivalent 800V, 2.9A avalanche diodes in SOD-64 packages. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal dissipation characteristics before substituting with components from other manufacturers.
