BYX85TAP

Overview

The BYX85TAP is a standard avalanche sinterglass diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features an 800 V maximum reverse voltage and a 2 A average forward current rating. The component utilizes the SOD-57 through-hole package, designed for robust performance in high-voltage applications requiring avalanche capability.

Feature Summary

• Standard avalanche sinterglass construction
• Through-hole mounting configuration

Applications

• High-voltage rectification circuits
• Avalanche-rated protection applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the BYX85TAP to confirm exact electrical tolerances and mechanical dimensions. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the required tape-and-reel packaging format. Cross-reference with official Vishay documentation to validate compliance with specified standards before integration into production designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V blocking capability and 2 A current handling are required in a compact through-hole form factor. The avalanche characteristic makes it suitable for environments where transient overvoltages may occur. Compare against other SOD-57 variants if different voltage ratings or non-avalanche characteristics are needed.

Part Context

This part belongs to Vishay's standard diode portfolio, specifically utilizing sinterglass technology for durability. The BYX85 series provides reliable performance in general-purpose and specialized high-voltage applications, distinguishing itself through its avalanche rating within the small outline diode category.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official substitution guides for equivalent 800 V, 2 A avalanche diodes in SOD-57 packages. Verify pin compatibility and thermal characteristics before replacing.
