BY228TAP VISHAY Single

The BY228TAP is a high-voltage avalanche rectifier diode designed for 1500V/3A applications, ideal for demanding AC/DC conversion tasks. Select this diode when your design requires a robust through-hole component rated for 1.65kV repetitive peak reverse voltage and 50A surge current . Its key specifications include a 1.5V forward voltage drop at 5A and 5μA reverse leakage current, ensuring efficient operation . This diode excels in high-voltage power supplies, horizontal deflection circuits in CRT displays, and X-ray generator rectification stages. With a -55°C to +140°C operating range and avalanche energy capability up to 10mJ, it reliably handles voltage transients in industrial motor drives and microwave oven power circuits.
