BYV16-TR

Overview

The BYV16-TR is a fast avalanche sinterglass diode manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors in the SOD-57 package. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1000 V and an average forward current rating of 1.5 A. The device supports a peak forward surge current of 40 A and exhibits a maximum reverse recovery time of 300 ns. Operating temperatures range from -55 °C to +175 °C, with a typical forward voltage of 1.5 V at 1 A.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction for enhanced reliability
• Hermetically sealed package construction
• Soft recovery characteristics suitable for high-speed switching

Applications

• TV-line output circuits
• Switch mode power supplies

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code against the manufacturer's documentation to ensure correct packaging configuration. Confirm that the component meets all required environmental standards and material categorization definitions prior to integration into production designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1000 V blocking capability is required alongside fast recovery performance. Ensure the thermal resistance constraints are met within the target application environment to maintain safe operating junction temperatures under continuous load conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BYV12 through BYV16 series of fast avalanche sinterglass diodes. All variants share identical physical dimensions and electrical characteristics except for the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage rating, which scales from 100 V to 1000 V across the series.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other BYV16 variants from Vishay such as BYV16-TAP, provided the package type and electrical ratings match the original design requirements.
