Product specification
Rectifier diodes
ultrafast, rugged
BYV42E series
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
QUICK REFERENCE DATA
Glass passivated high efficiency
rugged dual rectifier diodes in a
plastic envelope, featuring low
forward voltage drop, ultra-fast
recovery times and soft recovery
characteristic. These devices can
withstand reverse voltage transients
and have guaranteed reverse surge
and ESD capability. They are
intended for use in switched mode
power supplies and high frequency
circuits in general where low
conduction and switching losses are
essential.
