VISHAY ultrafast diode for SMPS & inverters. 600V, 1A, 30ns recovery. AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive, aerospace & defence.
The VISHAY Fast/Ultrafast Diode is a high-performance semiconductor component engineered for demanding electronic applications. Part of the reputable BYV26 range, this device is designed as an ultra-fast Avalanche Sinterglass Diode, delivering exceptional reliability and efficiency in circuit designs where speed and power handling are critical. Its construction features solderable plated axial leads that conform to the rigorous MIL-STD-750 standard, ensuring robust mechanical and electrical connections. The component can be mounted in any position, offering excellent flexibility during PCB assembly and integration into complex systems.
A key advantage of this diode is its very low switching losses, which minimises power dissipation and improves overall system efficiency, particularly in high-frequency operations. It boasts a low reverse current and a high reverse voltage capability, enhancing its stability and performance in circuits subject to voltage spikes. The hermetically sealed, glass-passivated junction provides superior protection against environmental contaminants, moisture, and mechanical stress, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent operation. A distinct colour band clearly denotes the cathode end for error-free installation.
Primary Applications
This diode is exceptionally well-suited for use in switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) and high-frequency inverter circuits, where its fast recovery characteristics are essential. It is also a trusted component in critical fields such as power management systems, aerospace, defence, and military electronics, where failure is not an option. Its qualification to the AEC-Q101 standard further underscores its suitability for automotive and other high-reliability applications.
Constructed with precision, the diode comes in a SOD-57 case style with two pins, making it compatible with standard through-hole mounting techniques. Its robust design ensures it can
