BYW56 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

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

 

Key electrical specifications include a repetitive peak reverse voltage of up to 1000V for the BYW56 series, a peak forward surge current of 50A (10ms half sine wave), and an average forward current of 2A. The device also offers a breakdown voltage of 1600V.

 

With a junction and storage temperature range of -55°C to 175°C, the BYW56 is suitable for demanding environments. Its thermal resistance is rated at 45 K/W junction to ambient with a 10mm lead length.

 

This rectifier is equivalent to diodes such as the 1N5059 through 1N5062, making it a versatile component for various rectification tasks.
