Product details
Overview
BY359X-1500S,127 from Nexperia (formerly Philips Semiconductors) is a fast, high-voltage damper diode in SOD113 package, rated for 1500 V peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM), 15.7 A RMS forward current (IF(RMS)), and 350 ns maximum reverse recovery time (trr). It features soft recovery, isolated mounting tab, and is designed for horizontal deflection circuits in CRT-based PC monitors operating at 31–70 kHz.
For engineers reviewing the BY359X-1500S,127 datasheet, BY359X-1500S,127 pinout, BY359X-1500S,127 application, or BY359X-1500S,127 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 7 A peak forward current rating at monitor frequencies, 2.0 V max VF at 10 A/150 °C, 2500 V RMS isolation voltage, and thermal resistance of 4.8 K/W junction-to-heatsink with compound.
Technical Context
This damper diode operates in flyback energy recovery mode within CRT horizontal deflection yoke circuits, where rapid turn-off and low reverse recovery charge (Qs ≤ 0.95 µC) minimize switching losses and voltage overshoot. Its soft recovery characteristic reduces EMI generation during commutation.
The isolated mounting tab enables direct heatsink attachment without electrical shorting, supporting reliable thermal management under pulsed 7 A peak currents at 31–70 kHz. The glass-passivated double-diffused structure ensures stable performance across -40 °C to 150 °C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1500 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operation in 1500 V flyback snubber networks. |
| IF(RMS) | 15.7 A - Continuous RMS current handling; supports sustained conduction during horizontal scan intervals. |
| trr (max) | 350 ns - Guaranteed maximum reverse recovery time; ensures minimal tail current and reduced switching loss in 31–70 kHz monitor applications. |
| VF (max) | 2.0 V @ 10 A, 150 °C - Forward voltage ceiling at elevated temperature; determines conduction loss and thermal load in high-duty-cycle operation. |
| Visol | 2500 V RMS - Isolation voltage between terminals and heatsink; enables safe, grounded heatsink mounting without insulation washers. |
| Rth j-hs | 4.8 K/W - Thermal resistance with heatsink compound; allows calculation of junction temperature rise under defined power dissipation. |
| Qs (max) | 0.95 µC - Maximum reverse recovery charge; directly impacts snubber sizing and voltage spike magnitude during turn-off. |
Pinout & Package

FAQ
What is the peak forward current rating for BY359X-1500S,127 in monitor applications?
The BY359X-1500S,127 is rated for 7 A peak forward current (IF(peak)) when used in PC monitors operating at 31–70 kHz, as specified in the Philips product specification under limiting values. This rating assumes sinusoidal waveform and accounts for thermal limits at elevated junction temperatures.
Does BY359X-1500S,127 have electrical isolation between its mounting tab and terminals?
Yes, the BY359X-1500S,127 features an electrically isolated mounting tab, verified in the mechanical data and isolation limiting value sections. Its 2500 V RMS isolation voltage (Visol) confirms safe direct attachment to grounded heatsinks without additional insulation.
What is the maximum reverse recovery time (trr) for BY359X-1500S,127?
The maximum reverse recovery time for BY359X-1500S,127 is 350 ns, measured at IF = 2 A, VR ≥ 30 V, and dIF/dt = 20 A/µs, per the dynamic characteristics table in the Philips datasheet. This value applies specifically to the BY359X-1500S variant.
Can BY359X-1500S,127 be used as a direct replacement for BY359X-1500,127?
No-BY359X-1500S,127 is not a direct replacement for BY359X-1500,127 due to differing peak current ratings (7 A vs. 10 A) and reverse recovery times (350 ns vs. 600 ns). Their distinct specifications reflect optimization for monitor vs. TV frequency ranges, requiring circuit validation before substitution.
What is the forward voltage drop of BY359X-1500S,127 at 10 A and 150 °C?
The forward voltage drop of BY359X-1500S,127 is guaranteed not to exceed 2.0 V at 10 A forward current and 150 °C junction temperature, as stated in the static characteristics table. At 25 °C, the typical VF is 1.5 V under the same current condition.
