BYQ28EF-200HE3_A/P

Diode Arrays Overview

The BYQ28EF-200HE3_A/P is a dual common cathode ultrafast rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and a 10 A average forward current rating. The device utilizes a glass passivated chip junction for reliability and achieves an ultrafast recovery time of 25 ns with soft recovery characteristics to minimize switching losses. Packaged in a TO-220F (ITO-220AB) housing, it supports through-hole mounting. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +150°C and meets RoHS directives.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Ultrafast recovery characteristics with low switching losses
• Soft recovery profile reduces electromagnetic interference during commutation
• Glass passivated junction ensures high reliability and stability

Diode Arrays Applications

• Low voltage, high frequency rectification in switching power supplies
• Freewheeling diodes in DC-to-DC converter circuits
• Polarity protection applications requiring fast response

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Vishay documentation to confirm package type and compliance status. Confirm availability as distribution channels may list obsolete or alternative variants. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required electrical specifications and mechanical footprint before procurement.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring fast recovery times and high surge capability in a through-hole format. The dual common cathode arrangement simplifies circuit topology for full-wave rectification. Verify thermal management requirements given the 10 A current rating and TO-220F package constraints.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the BYQ28EF series of ultrafast rectifiers from Vishay. It shares core electrical characteristics with the BYQ28E series but differs in packaging and specific reliability grading indicated by the HE3 suffix. The series is designed for general-purpose high-frequency rectification tasks.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with BYQ28E-200-E3/45 for similar electrical performance in standard packages. Verify if the HE3 suffix indicates automotive qualification (AEC-Q101) which may require specific environmental testing validation for replacement scenarios.
