BYW27-200GPHE3/54

Overview

The BYW27-200GPHE3/54 is a glass-passivated junction rectifier from the Superectifier series, manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and supports a maximum average forward rectified current of 1.0 A at 25 °C. The device exhibits a typical instantaneous forward voltage of 1.0 V and a maximum reverse current of 200 nA. Its peak forward surge current capability is rated at 30 A for an 8.3 ms single half sine-wave. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -65 to +175 °C and utilizes a DO-41 (DO-204AL) axial leaded package.

Feature Summary

• Superectifier structure designed for high reliability applications
• Cavity-free glass-passivated junction construction
• Matte tin plated leads compliant with JESD 201 class 1A whisker test

Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Inverter and converter circuits
• Freewheeling diodes for consumer applications

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix /54 corresponds to the specified reel packaging configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status via the E3 designation. Ensure the component meets the specific thermal resistance requirements for your application, as ratings are based on a 0.375-inch lead length. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure the latest electrical characteristics are applied.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard recovery time of 3.0 μs is acceptable for the circuit design. The DO-41 package is suitable for through-hole mounting where space constraints allow. Consider the 175 °C maximum junction temperature rating for high-temperature environments. Verify that the 200 V reverse voltage rating provides sufficient margin for the peak inverse voltage present in the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BYW27 series of general-purpose rectifiers, which includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings such as 100 V, 400 V, 600 V, and 800 V. All members of the series share identical mechanical dimensions and thermal characteristics, differing primarily in their breakdown voltage specifications. The Superectifier technology emphasizes robustness against transient events.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay parts within the same BYW27 family, specifically the BYW27-100GP, BYW27-400GP, BYW27-600GP, and BYW27-800GP, provided the voltage rating aligns with system requirements.
