BYV98-200-TR

Overview

The BYV98-200-TR 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, with a low reverse current of 10 µA at rated voltage. It offers a fast reverse recovery time of 35 ns and can withstand a peak forward surge current of 70 A. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-fast avalanche capability for high-speed switching applications
• Hermetically sealed glass passivated axial-leaded envelope
• Low reverse leakage current and low forward voltage drop

Applications

• Switched mode power supplies
• High-frequency inverter circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against the manufacturer's documentation to confirm packaging type. The TR suffix indicates tape and reel packaging, while TAP denotes ammopack. Confirm that the required minimum order quantity aligns with the specified factory packaging units before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring ultra-fast recovery characteristics combined with avalanche energy ratings. Ensure the thermal resistance requirements are met for the intended mounting position and ambient temperature conditions. Validate that the 200 V reverse voltage rating provides sufficient margin for the specific circuit operating voltages.

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 parts within the BYV98 series with equivalent or higher voltage ratings, such as the BYV98-100 or BYV98-150, provided the lower voltage ratings do not compromise circuit safety margins.
