BYV28-200-RAS15-10

Overview

The Vishay BYV28-200-RAS15-10 is an ultra-fast avalanche sinterglass diode from the BYV28 series, housed in a SOD-64 axial package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and an average forward current rating of 3.5 A. 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 within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C.

Feature Summary

• Controlled avalanche characteristic for handling inductive load switching
• Ultra-fast recovery time suitable for high-frequency applications
• Hermetically sealed glass passivated junction
• AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive reliability

Applications

• Very fast rectification in switch mode power supplies
• Inductive load switching circuits requiring avalanche energy absorption
• High frequency rectification applications

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering code matches the required tape or ammobulk packaging format. Confirm the suffix aligns with the requested minimum order quantity constraints. Ensure the component meets the AEC-Q101 qualification requirements if intended for automotive deployment. Validate the thermal resistance parameters against the specific lead length used in the target circuit design.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 200 V blocking capability and 3.5 A continuous current are required in a compact axial form factor. The controlled avalanche feature makes it suitable for snubber or clamp applications where standard diodes might fail. Consider the 30 ns recovery time for high-speed switching environments. Verify that the operating ambient temperature allows for adequate derating of the 3.5 A average forward current rating.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay BYV28 series of ultra-fast sinterglass diodes, which includes variants rated for 50 V, 100 V, 150 V, and 200 V. All members of this family share identical mechanical dimensions (SOD-64) and electrical characteristics regarding forward voltage and recovery time, differing primarily in their reverse voltage ratings and corresponding avalanche energy capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay BYV28-200 variants such as BYV28-200-E3/54 or BYV28-200-TAP, provided the packaging preference differs. Cross-brand replacements must match the 200 V reverse voltage, 3.5 A current, SOD-64 package, and ultra-fast recovery specifications.
