BYX84TR

Overview

The BYX84TR is a fast recovery rectifier diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a 600V repetitive peak reverse voltage and a 2A average forward rectified current. The device utilizes a glass-passivated junction within a hermetically sealed SOD-57 package, designed for through-hole mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 50A (8.3ms single half-sine-wave) and a low reverse current specification. The component is engineered to provide high surge current loading capabilities and reliable performance in general-purpose rectification applications.

Feature Summary

• Glass passivated junction for enhanced reliability
• Hermetically sealed package construction
• High surge current loading capability
• Low reverse current specification

Applications

• General purpose rectification
• Power supply circuits
• Inverter circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TR' indicates tape and reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm the manufacturer designation matches Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division to ensure authenticity. Check datasheet revisions for any updates to mechanical dimensions or thermal characteristics prior to final design integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring 600V blocking voltage and 2A continuous current handling in a compact axial leaded form factor. Consider the SOD-57 package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management. Ensure the operating temperature range aligns with the specified junction temperature limits for the intended environment.

Part Context

The BYX84 series belongs to Vishay's lineup of fast recovery rectifiers. These devices are part of a family including variants like BYX82, BYX83, and BYX85, which share similar structural features but may differ in voltage or current ratings. The TR suffix typically denotes a specific packaging format for automated assembly processes.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay BYX series parts such as BYX82 or BYX83 if voltage or current requirements differ. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values when substituting with components from other manufacturers offering equivalent 600V/2A specifications.
