BY228TAP Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BY228TAP is a standard avalanche diode from Vishay Semiconductors, designed for high voltage rectification and efficiency diode applications in horizontal deflection circuits. Key electrical specifications include a maximum reverse voltage of 1500 V (1650 V repetitive peak), average forward current of 3 A, and typical forward voltage of 1.5 V at 5 A. The diode offers standard recovery performance with a typical reverse recovery time of 2 µs and a maximum of 20 µs. It can handle non-repetitive peak forward surge current of 50 A and has a non-repetitive reverse avalanche energy rating of 10 mJ. The junction temperature range is up to 140 °C, with storage temperature from -55 to +175 °C. Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 70 K/W. The device is housed in a hermetically sealed SOD-64 axial lead package, with glass passivated junction and color band cathode marking. Weight is approximately 858 mg.
