BYVB32-200-E3/45

Diode Arrays Overview

The BYVB32-200-E3/45 is a dual common-cathode ultrafast rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features an average forward rectified current of 18 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V. The device exhibits a peak forward surge current capability of 150 A, a typical junction-to-case thermal resistance of 1.6 °C/W per diode, and a maximum reverse recovery time of 25 ns. Operating temperatures range from -65 °C to +150 °C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type matches the design requirements, as this part number corresponds to the D2PAK (TO-263AB) configuration. Confirm that the E3 suffix aligns with RoHS compliance standards required for the assembly process. Ensure the component meets the necessary moisture sensitivity level specifications for the manufacturing environment.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common-cathode configuration is required within a compact surface-mount footprint. The 200 V rating and 18 A current capacity make it suitable for medium-power conversion stages. Evaluate the thermal management strategy based on the 1.6 °C/W junction-to-case resistance to ensure operation remains within the specified temperature limits under load.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the BYV32 series of ultrafast rectifiers from Vishay. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings and package options, such as TO-220AB and ITO-220AB. The BYVB32 designation specifically identifies the D2PAK (TO-263AB) surface-mount package variant within this family.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay parts from the same series with identical electrical parameters but different packages, such as BYV32-200-E3/45 or BYVF32-200-E3/45. Cross-brand replacements must match the 18 A current, 200 V voltage, and 25 ns recovery time specifications.
