BYV27-050-TR

Overview

The BYV27-050-TR is an ultra-fast silicon mesa rectifier from Vishay, designed for high-speed switching applications. It features a peak reverse repetitive voltage of 50 V and a maximum continuous forward current of 2 A. The device exhibits a typical peak reverse recovery time of 15 ns, ensuring minimal switching losses. It supports a peak non-repetitive forward surge current of 50 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to +175°C. Housed in the DO-15 axial leaded package, it offers robust performance for general-purpose rectification.
