BYT54B-TAP

Overview

The BYT54B-TAP is a fast recovery avalanche diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage of 100 V and an average rectified current of 1.25 A. The device exhibits a forward voltage of 1.5 V at 1 A and a reverse recovery time of less than or equal to 500 ns for currents greater than 200 mA. It is housed in the SOD-57 axial package and operates within a junction temperature range of -65°C to 175°C.

Feature Summary

• Fast recovery performance with reverse recovery time under 500 ns
• Avalanche rated capability for robust operation
• High junction temperature rating up to 175°C

Applications

• General purpose rectification
• Free-wheeling diodes
• Snubber circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TAP indicates tape-and-reel packaging when ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by manufacturer documentation. Ensure the SOD-57 axial package form factor matches the target PCB layout requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring fast switching speeds and avalanche ruggedness. The 1.25 A current rating suits moderate power levels. Consider the axial SOD-57 package for through-hole mounting constraints. Compare against standard recovery diodes if speed is not critical to optimize cost.

Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's general-purpose fast recovery diode lineup. It utilizes silicon planar technology designed for high reliability. The product line typically includes various voltage and current ratings to support diverse power conversion and protection needs in electronic circuits.

Replacement Considerations

Check datasheets for equivalent parts offering similar 100V, 1.25A specifications with comparable reverse recovery times. Verify pinout compatibility for the SOD-57 package before substitution.
