Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging format. Confirm that the component meets all required environmental compliance standards for the intended application. Validate technical specifications directly with the manufacturer datasheet before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component based on its 100 V reverse voltage rating and 4 A continuous current capacity. Consider the 35 ns reverse recovery time for high-speed switching requirements. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified junction temperature range and thermal resistance values provided in the datasheet.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BYV98 series of ultra-fast avalanche sinterglass diodes. Other variants in the family include ratings of 50 V, 150 V, and 200 V, all sharing the same 4 A forward current rating and SOD-64 package form factor. The series is designed for general-purpose rectification in demanding electronic environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same series include BYV98-50, BYV98-150, and BYV98-200. Verify voltage ratings match the circuit requirements when selecting an alternative variant.
