BYV98-150-TAP

Overview

The BYV98-150-TAP is an ultra-fast avalanche sinterglass diode manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 150 V and an average forward current rating of 4 A in the SOD-64 package. The device exhibits a maximum reverse recovery time of 35 ns and a forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 5 A. It supports a junction temperature range from -55 °C to +175 °C and includes non-repetitive reverse avalanche energy capability.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-fast switching performance with low reverse recovery time
• Hermetically sealed axial-leaded glass envelope for high reliability
• Avalanche rated for robust transient protection
• Low forward voltage drop and minimal reverse leakage current

Applications

• Switched mode power supplies
• High-frequency inverter circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering code matches the required tape or ammopack configuration, as packaging variants exist within the series. Confirm compliance with regional environmental standards and ensure the component meets the thermal resistance requirements for the intended mounting position and lead length conditions specified in the datasheet.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed rectification and avalanche ruggedness are required in a compact axial package. Ensure the operating reverse voltage remains below the 150 V rating and verify that the ambient temperature allows for adequate heat dissipation given the 25 K/W thermal resistance at standard lead lengths.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BYV98 series of ultra-fast sinterglass diodes, which also includes variants rated for 50 V, 100 V, and 200 V. All members share identical electrical characteristics regarding speed and current handling, differing primarily in their breakdown voltage thresholds. The series utilizes a standardized SOD-64 case for consistent mechanical integration.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include BYV98-50, BYV98-100, and BYV98-200 from the same manufacturer family. Cross-brand replacements must match the 4 A current rating, 35 ns recovery time, and SOD-64 axial package dimensions.
