BYW51FP-200

Diode Arrays Overview

The BYW51FP-200 is a dual center tap rectifier diode array manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It features a common cathode configuration with two independent diodes housed in a single TO-220AB package. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200 V and a continuous forward current of 10 A. It is designed as a high-efficiency fast recovery rectifier, suitable for demanding power conversion applications requiring reliable performance in through-hole mounting configurations.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Dual center tap rectifier architecture providing two independent diodes in a single package
• High-efficiency fast recovery characteristics optimized for switching applications
• Common cathode configuration simplifying circuit design for specific topologies

Diode Arrays Applications

• Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS)
• High frequency DC to DC converters
• General purpose rectification in power electronics

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix matches the required package variant, as STMicroelectronics offers multiple pin-out and thermal options within the BYW51 series. Confirm that the TO-220AB package type aligns with your PCB layout requirements. Ensure the 200V rating meets the peak inverse voltage demands of your specific circuit application before finalizing procurement.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual diode solution is required for center-tapped transformer circuits or synchronous rectification applications. The 10A current rating suits moderate power levels, while the 200V breakdown voltage provides adequate margin for standard low-voltage AC-DC conversions. Consider the thermal resistance of the TO-220AB package for heat dissipation planning in enclosed environments.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the BYW51 family of high-efficiency fast recovery rectifiers from STMicroelectronics. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings and package styles, such as the single diode BYW29FP-200. The FP designation typically indicates a specific lead form or thermal pad variation within the TO-220 family, distinguishing it from standard through-hole versions.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

The STTH2002CFP is a documented comparable alternative within the same product category. Verify electrical parameters and pin compatibility before substitution. Other BYW51 series variants may serve as functional replacements if voltage and current ratings are sufficient.
