Philips Semiconductors Product specification

Very fast high-voltage soft-recovery rectifiers BY715 to BY724

FEATURES

• Glass passivated

• High maximum operating temperature

• Low leakage current

• Excellent stability

• Soft-recovery switching characteristics

• Compact construction.

DESCRIPTION

Rugged glass 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.

The package is designed to be used in an insulating
medium such as resin, oil or SF6 gas.

APPLICATIONS

• For high-voltage rectification up to 75 kHz
