The BYW178-TR is a fast avalanche sinterglass diode manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. It features an 800 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and supports a 3 A average forward current in the SOD-64 axial package. The device exhibits very fast reverse recovery characteristics, with a maximum reverse recovery time of 60 ns under JEDEC conditions and 50 ns at high dIF/dt. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C and includes non-repetitive reverse avalanche energy capability.
Verify the specific ordering code against the manufacturer's documentation to ensure correct packaging configuration. Confirm that the component meets all required environmental and electrical specifications for the intended application before finalizing procurement decisions.
Select this component when designing circuits requiring high-voltage blocking capabilities combined with rapid switching speeds. Ensure the thermal management strategy accounts for the specified thermal resistance values to maintain safe operating temperatures during continuous operation.
This part belongs to the BYW178 series of fast avalanche sinterglass diodes from Vishay. It is designed for robust performance in demanding electronic environments, offering a balance of high voltage handling and fast switching characteristics in a compact axial leaded package.
Consult official Vishay documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Do not assume compatibility with other manufacturers' components without validating electrical parameters and physical dimensions.
The maximum non-repetitive reverse avalanche energy is 20 mJ when tested at a reverse current of 1 A.
A color band on the package denotes the cathode end of the diode.
