BYV98-200-TAP

Overview

The BYV98-200-TAP is an ultra-fast avalanche sinterglass diode manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. It features a 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and supports a 4 A average forward current in the SOD-64 axial leaded package. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1.1 V at 5 A, a low reverse current of 10 µA, and a fast reverse recovery time of 35 ns. It withstands a 70 A peak forward surge current and operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-fast avalanche capability with glass passivated junction
• Hermetically sealed axial-leaded glass envelope for high reliability
• Low reverse 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 tape configuration required for your assembly line. Confirm the component meets RoHS compliance standards and material categorization requirements before finalizing procurement. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation consistent with Vishay's manufacturing records.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring high-speed switching and robust avalanche energy handling. The SOD-64 package is suitable for applications demanding hermetic sealing and high thermal stability. Evaluate the 35 ns reverse recovery time against circuit frequency requirements to ensure optimal performance.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BYV98 series of ultra-fast sinterglass diodes from Vishay Semiconductors. The series includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings, such as 50 V, 100 V, and 150 V, all sharing the same 4 A forward current capacity and SOD-64 package form factor.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other BYV98-200 variants like BYV98-200-TR, which shares identical electrical characteristics but differs only in packaging format.
