Ripple blocking diode BYM63
FEATURES
• Glass passivated
• High maximum operating
temperature
DESCRIPTION
Rugged glass SOD64 package, using
a high temperature alloyed
construction.
This package is hermetically sealed
and fatigue free as coefficients of
expansion of all used parts are
matched.
• Low leakage current
• Excellent stability
• Guaranteed minimum turn-on time
for absorbing forward current
transients and oscillations
• Specially designed as rectifier in
the auxiliary power supply in e.g.
switched mode power supplies
• Available in ammo-pack.
• Also available with preformed leads
for easy insertion.
LIMITING VALUES
In accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 134).
