BYV98-150-TR

Overview

The BYV98-150-TR 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, a typical forward voltage drop of 1.1 V at 5 A, and a non-repetitive reverse avalanche energy capability of 20 mJ. Operating temperatures range from -55 °C to +175 °C.

Feature Summary

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

Applications

• Switched mode power supplies
• High-frequency inverter circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code matches the specific voltage variant required for the circuit design. Confirm the tape and reel packaging specifications align with automated assembly equipment capabilities. Ensure compliance with environmental standards and material categorization requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed rectification and avalanche ruggedness are required in a compact axial leaded form factor. Evaluate thermal resistance characteristics against ambient temperature constraints. Verify that the 150 V reverse voltage rating provides adequate margin for the specific application's peak inverse voltage demands.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BYV98 series of ultra-fast sinterglass diodes, which includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings such as 50 V, 100 V, and 200 V. All members share identical physical dimensions, thermal characteristics, and electrical performance profiles except for their breakdown voltage thresholds.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other BYV98 series parts like BYV98-100 or BYV98-200 if voltage margins allow. Cross-brand replacements must match the SOD-64 package, 4 A current rating, and sub-50 ns reverse recovery time specifications.
