BYT261PIV-400

Diode Arrays Overview

The BYT261PIV-400 is a fast recovery rectifier diode manufactured by STMicroelectronics, packaged in the ISOTOP plastic housing. It features an insulated package with 2500 VRMS insulation voltage and low capacitance of 45 pF. The device supports a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 400 V and an average forward current of 60 A at a case temperature of 70 °C. Maximum forward voltage drop is 1.4 V to 1.5 V depending on junction temperature. Reverse recovery time is typically 50 ns at 25 °C and up to 75 ns at 100 °C under specific test conditions.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Insulated ISOTOP package providing electrical isolation for high-voltage applications
• Ultra-fast recovery characteristics minimizing switching losses and turn-off noise
• Low thermal resistance enabling efficient heat dissipation via conduction

Diode Arrays Applications

• Free-wheeling function in DC-DC converters
• Motor control circuits
• Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS)

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the component marking matches BYT261PIV-400 to distinguish from the electrically similar BYT260PIV-400 variant. Confirm the package type is ISOTOP plastic. Ensure mounting hardware specifications align with the recommended torque values for secure installation. Check datasheet revisions as specifications are subject to change without notice.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when high-frequency operation requires minimal reverse recovery charge and low turn-off overvoltage coefficients. The insulated package is suitable for applications requiring galvanic isolation between the heatsink and circuit ground. Consider the 60 A average current rating relative to the thermal management capabilities of the system design.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the BYT series of ultrafast low forward voltage rectifiers designed for tens of kilohertz switching frequencies. It shares the same electrical ratings as the BYT260PIV-400 but differs in internal configuration or pinout arrangement within the ISOTOP package. The series emphasizes low conduction losses while maintaining fast switching performance.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

The BYT260PIV-400 is a direct substitute with identical electrical ratings and packaging. Verify pin compatibility before replacement as the suffix indicates a specific internal configuration difference.
