Product details
Overview
BY329X-1500S,127 from NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips) is a fast, high-voltage damper diode in SOD113 package, rated for 1500 V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 6 A peak forward current at 70 kHz switching frequency, and 230 ns maximum reverse recovery time (trr). It features soft recovery, isolated mounting tab, and is designed for horizontal deflection circuits in CRT TV receivers and PC monitors.
For engineers reviewing the BY329X-1500S,127 datasheet, BY329X-1500S,127 pinout, BY329X-1500S,127 application, or BY329X-1500S,127 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 1500 V, trr ≤ 230 ns (160 ns typical for -1500S variant), VF ≤ 1.6 V at 6.5 A/25 °C, isolated heatsink capability (Visol = 2500 V RMS), and SOD113 mechanical compatibility with F-pack mounting.
Technical Context
This damper diode operates in high-frequency flyback energy recirculation paths-specifically horizontal deflection stages-where rapid turn-off, low reverse recovery charge (Qs ≤ 0.95 µC), and controlled forward recovery voltage (Vfr ≤ 40 V) prevent transistor overvoltage stress. Its glass-passivated double-diffused junction ensures stable performance under thermal cycling.
The isolated mounting tab enables direct heatsink attachment without electrical shorting, supporting thermal resistance Rth j-hs of 4.8 K/W (with compound). Soft recovery minimizes EMI generation during commutation, critical in analog video timing-critical applications.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar damper diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BY329-1500 | Higher max trr (230 ns vs. 160 ns typ), higher VF (1.45 V vs. 1.35 V typ @ 6.5 A/25 °C), no "S" suffix designation | Same SOD113 package and pinout; used in lower-frequency CRT designs (≤50 kHz) | Select BY329-1500 only if soft recovery priority is lower and cost sensitivity outweighs trr/VF optimization |
| BY459X-1500 | Higher IFSM (100 A vs. 75 A), same VRRM, slightly slower trr (250 ns max), non-isolated tab | Requires insulated mounting hardware; suited for non-heatsinked or lower-power deflection stages | Choose BY459X-1500 only when higher surge rating is required and isolated-tab mounting is not mandatory |
Compared with BY329-1500 and BY459X-1500, the BY329X-1500S,127 delivers superior soft recovery (160 ns typ trr, 0.95 µC Qs) and guaranteed isolated tab-making it optimal for thermally demanding, high-frequency CRT deflection where EMI control and heatsink integration are critical.

FAQ
What is the peak repetitive reverse voltage rating for BY329X-1500S,127?
The BY329X-1500S,127 has a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating of 1500 V. This value is confirmed in the Philips product specification under Limiting Values and applies directly to the BY329X-1500S variant. It defines the maximum sustained reverse voltage the diode can block repeatedly without breakdown in horizontal deflection circuits.
Does BY329X-1500S,127 have an electrically isolated mounting tab?
Yes, the BY329X-1500S,127 features an electrically isolated mounting tab, verified in the Isolation Limiting Value section of the datasheet: Visol = 2500 V RMS between both terminals and external heatsink. This isolation is inherent to the SOD113 package construction and enables direct, safe heatsink attachment without additional insulation.
What is the maximum reverse recovery time (trr) specified for BY329X-1500S,127?
The maximum reverse recovery time (trr) for BY329X-1500S,127 is 230 ns, as stated in the DYNAMIC CHARACTERISTICS table under MAX for the 1500S column. The typical value is 160 ns at IF = 1 A, VR ≥ 30 V, and dIF/dt = 50 A/µs-critical for minimizing switching stress in high-frequency CRT deflection.
Can BY329X-1500S,127 be used as a direct replacement for BY329-1500 in existing designs?
BY329X-1500S,127 shares the same SOD113 package, pinout, and VRRM rating as BY329-1500, but offers improved soft recovery (160 ns vs. 230 ns max trr) and lower VF. It is functionally compatible and often preferred-but verify thermal layout, as its optimized recovery may alter snubber energy distribution in legacy designs.
What is the forward voltage drop of BY329X-1500S,127 at 6.5 A and 25 °C?
The forward voltage drop (VF) of BY329X-1500S,127 is 1.3 V (typical) and 1.5 V (maximum) at IF = 6.5 A and Tj = 25 °C, per the STATIC CHARACTERISTICS table. At elevated junction temperature (125 °C), VF rises to 1.35 V (max), confirming stable conduction behavior across operating range.
