BYT53C-TAP

Overview

The BYT53C-TAP is a single-element rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 150 V and a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.5 A. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V and a maximum reverse recovery time of 0.05 µs. It operates within a temperature range from -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature. The component utilizes a glass passivated junction and is housed in a hermetically sealed SOD-57 through-hole package with tin/lead terminal plating.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction for enhanced stability
• Hermetically sealed package construction
• Soft recovery characteristics with low reverse current

Applications

• Very fast rectification and switching circuits
• Switched mode power supplies
• High-frequency inverter circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TAP' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm packaging details, as standard designations may vary. Ensure compliance requirements are met, noting that some historical data indicates non-RoHS status for certain variants. Confirm terminal material specifications and lead availability directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring ultra-fast recovery times and high thermal stability up to 175 °C. The SOD-57 through-hole package is suitable for designs prioritizing mechanical robustness over surface mount density. Consider the 1.5 A current rating and 150 V blocking voltage when designing circuits with moderate power dissipation requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BYT53 series of ultra-fast avalanche sinterglass diodes produced by Vishay Semiconductors. The series is characterized by its hermetic sealing and soft recovery properties, distinguishing it from standard recovery rectifiers. These components are engineered for high-reliability environments where fast switching speeds and thermal endurance are critical operational parameters.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay BYT53 variants such as BYT53B or BYT53D if voltage ratings differ. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions (SOD-57) when substituting with equivalent ultra-fast rectifiers from other manufacturers.
