This datasheet introduces Philips BYW28 series ultra fast low-loss controlled avalanche rectifier features and characteristics
The document is a product specification sheet for the Philips BYW28 series of controlled avalanche rectifiers. It details features such as hermetically sealed glass packaging, high maximum operating temperature capability, and guaranteed avalanche energy absorption.
Key specifications are provided in tables covering limiting values like repetitive peak reverse voltage (up to 600V) and forward current ratings at various temperatures. Electrical characteristics include forward voltage drop, reverse breakdown voltage, and reverse recovery time. Thermal data specifies resistance from junction to tie-point and ambient.
| Continuous reverse voltage (BYW28-500) | - 500 V |
|---|---|
| Average forward current (Tip = 85 °C) | - 4 A |
| Diode capacitance | - 275 pF |
| Thermal resistance junction to tie-point | 20 K/W |
The device uses a hermetically sealed glass SOD115 package.
The maximum permissible junction temperature is +175 °C.
