BYVB32-200-E3/81

Diode Arrays Overview

The BYVB32-200-E3/81 is a dual common-cathode ultrafast rectifier manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It utilizes a glass-passivated pellet chip junction and is housed in a D2PAK (TO-263AB) surface-mount package. The device supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 18 A and a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum instantaneous forward voltage of 1.15 V at 20 A, a maximum DC reverse current of 10 µA at 25 °C, and an ultrafast reverse recovery time of 25 ns. It withstands a peak forward surge current of 150 A and operates within a temperature range of -65 °C to +150 °C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code against official documentation to ensure correct package type and compliance status. Confirm that the E3 suffix denotes RoHS compliance and lead-free terminals. Check for automotive qualification requirements if applicable, as standard commercial grades differ from AEC-Q101 qualified variants. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance values provided in the datasheet.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring fast switching speeds and low conduction losses in dual common-cathode configurations. Evaluate the thermal performance based on the 1.6 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance per diode. Consider the 200 V reverse voltage rating relative to the circuit's peak inverse voltage. Verify that the D2PAK footprint matches the PCB layout constraints and mounting torque specifications.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the BYV32 series of dual ultrafast rectifiers from Vishay. The series includes variations such as BYV32 (TO-220AB), BYVF32 (ITO-220AB), and BYVB32 (D2PAK). These devices are designed for general-purpose high-frequency rectification where low reverse recovery charge is critical. The BYVB32 variant specifically targets surface-mount assembly needs while maintaining the electrical performance of the through-hole counterparts.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include BYVB32-200-M3/I for halogen-free commercial grade or BYVB32-200HM3/I for halogen-free AEC-Q101 qualified versions. Cross-brand replacements must match the 18 A current rating, 200 V reverse voltage, 25 ns recovery time, and D2PAK-2 package outline.
