BYW36-TR

Overview

The BYW36-TR is a fast avalanche sinterglass diode from Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division, housed in an SOD-57 package with plated axial leads. It features a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and an average forward current rating of 2 A. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage of 1.1 V at 1 A and a maximum reverse recovery time of 200 ns. Operating within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +175 °C, it offers low reverse current and soft recovery characteristics suitable for high-speed switching applications.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction with hermetically sealed package
• Soft recovery characteristics for efficient switching
• Low reverse current leakage
• Avalanche rated for energy dissipation

Applications

• TV-line output circuits
• Switch mode power supplies
• Fast rectification
• High-speed switching

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code BYW36-TR corresponds to the tape and reel configuration containing 5000 units per 10-inch tape. Confirm that the minimum order quantity aligns with the manufacturer's standard packaging requirements. Ensure the component meets the required environmental compliance standards as defined by Vishay. Cross-reference the document revision date to ensure the latest specifications are applied during procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600 V reverse voltage rating and 2 A average forward current are required in a compact SOD-57 axial leaded package. Consider the 200 ns maximum reverse recovery time for high-frequency switching needs. Evaluate the thermal resistance characteristics relative to the intended mounting position and ambient temperature conditions to ensure reliable operation within the specified -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range.

Part Context

The BYW36-TR belongs to the BYW32 through BYW36 series of fast avalanche sinterglass diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. These components share identical mechanical and electrical characteristics except for their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings, which range from 200 V to 600 V across the series. All variants utilize the same SOD-57 package and offer similar performance metrics for fast rectification and switching applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Vishay series include BYW32, BYW33, BYW34, and BYW35, provided the lower voltage ratings meet the circuit requirements. Verify that any replacement maintains the SOD-57 package form factor and axial lead configuration to ensure compatibility with existing board layouts and mounting positions.
