BYW56 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BYW56 is a silicon mesa rectifier designed for general-purpose applications. It features controlled avalanche characteristics, a glass-passivated junction, and a hermetically sealed package.

 

Key electrical specifications include a maximum reverse voltage of 1000V, a peak forward surge current of 50A, and an average forward current of 2A. The device also offers a typical forward voltage of 0.9V at 1A and a maximum reverse current of 1µA at 25°C.

 

With a junction and storage temperature range of -55°C to 175°C, the BYW56 is built for reliability. Its thermal resistance is rated at 45 K/W junction-to-ambient with a 10mm lead length. The component is typically housed in a TO-220 package suitable for through-hole mounting.

 

This rectifier is electrically equivalent to diodes such as the 1N5062, offering a robust solution for power supply and conversion circuits.
