BYV28-150-TAP

Overview

The BYV28-150-TAP is an ultra-fast avalanche sinterglass diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a 150 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and a 3.5 A average forward current rating within the SOD-64 through-hole package. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at 5 A, a peak reverse recovery time of 30 ns, and a non-repetitive peak forward surge current capability of 90 A. It operates across a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C.

Feature Summary

• Controlled avalanche characteristic for inductive load switching
• Ultra-fast recovery time with low switching losses
• Glass passivated junction with hermetically sealed package
• AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive reliability

Applications

• Very fast rectification in switch mode power supplies
• High-frequency rectification in consumer electronics
• Freewheeling applications in computer and telecommunication equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging format. The TAP designation indicates an ammopack configuration containing 2500 units per pack. Confirm compliance status and material categorization details directly from the manufacturer datasheet before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high-speed rectification with avalanche energy handling capabilities. Ensure the circuit operates within the specified 150 V reverse voltage limit and 3.5 A average forward current constraints. Verify thermal management requirements align with the provided junction-to-ambient thermal resistance data for the chosen mounting position.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BYV28 series of ultra-fast avalanche sinterglass diodes, which also includes variants rated at 50 V, 100 V, and 200 V. All members share identical electrical characteristics regarding current ratings, recovery times, and package dimensions, differing only in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage specifications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other BYV28 series parts such as BYV28-100-TAP or BYV28-200-TAP, provided the voltage rating meets the application's reverse voltage requirements. Cross-brand replacements must match the SOD-64 package, 3.5 A current rating, and ultra-fast recovery specifications.
