BY228 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The ST BY228 is a standard avalanche sinterglass diode designed for high voltage rectification and as an efficiency diode in horizontal deflection circuits. It features a glass passivated junction and a hermetically sealed package.

 

Key electrical specifications include a maximum reverse voltage of 1500V and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 1650V. The average forward current is rated at 3A, with a peak forward surge current of 50A for 10ms. The forward voltage is typically 1.5V at 5A, and the reverse leakage current is a maximum of 25μA at 1500V.

 

Thermal characteristics include a maximum junction temperature of 140°C and a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 70 K/W when mounted on a PC board with 25mm spacing. The diode operates over a storage temperature range of -55°C to +175°C.

 

The BY228 is housed in a SOD-64 axial package, suitable for through-hole mounting. Its robust construction and high voltage capabilities make it suitable for demanding applications.
