Product details
Overview
BYG23M-M3/TR3 from Vishay General Semiconductor is an ultrafast avalanche SMD rectifier in SMA (DO-214AC) package, rated for 1000 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 1.5 A average forward current at 65 °C, and 75 ns reverse recovery time. It features low reverse leakage (5 µA at 25 °C), 1.7 V forward voltage at 1.0 A, and is halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, and qualified to JESD 201 Class 2 whisker standard - used in high-frequency freewheeling and SMPS output rectification.
For engineers reviewing the BYG23M-M3/TR3 datasheet, BYG23M-M3/TR3 pinout, BYG23M-M3/TR3 application, or BYG23M-M3/TR3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1000 V VRRM, 75 ns trr, 20 mJ avalanche energy rating, thermal resistance (RθJA = 125 °C/W on 50 mm² Cu), and compatibility with automated SMT placement per J-STD-002 solderability.
Technical Context
This device operates as a single-diode, unidirectional, avalanche-rated rectifier optimized for switching-mode power supplies where fast recovery and robust overvoltage clamping are required. Its glass-passivated junction ensures stable reverse characteristics, while the SMA package supports high-density PCB layouts and meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020.
The BYG23M-M3/TR3 delivers 20 mJ non-repetitive pulse energy in avalanche mode under inductive load switch-off conditions (I(BR)R = 1 A, TJ = 25 °C), with junction temperature range from –55 °C to +150 °C and thermal resistance RθJC = 25 °C/W - enabling reliable operation in thermally constrained automotive and industrial converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1000 V - Withstands repetitive reverse voltages up to 1 kV without breakdown, suitable for 800 V DC bus applications with safety margin. |
| trr | 75 ns - Enables efficient high-frequency rectification (>100 kHz) with minimal switching loss and EMI generation. |
| IF(AV) | 1.5 A at TA = 65 °C - Supports continuous conduction mode output rectification in compact 30–60 W SMPS designs. |
| VF | 1.7 V at IF = 1.0 A, TJ = 25 °C - Limits forward conduction loss to ~1.7 W at 1 A, aiding thermal management in sealed enclosures. |
| IR | 5 µA at VR = VRRM, TJ = 25 °C - Ensures low standby power loss in high-impedance bias networks and hold-up circuits. |
| ER | 20 mJ - Absorbs inductive turn-off energy during flyback/freewheeling, protecting MOSFETs in buck-derived topologies. |
| RθJA | 125 °C/W (on 50 mm² Cu) - Allows ~1.2 W power dissipation before reaching 150 °C junction limit under typical PCB layout. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMA (DO-214AC), surface-mount, low-profile plastic case with matte tin-plated leads; cathode indicated by color band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry terminal | Connected to lower-potential side of load or switch node; must be routed with low-inductance path in high-dI/dt freewheeling paths. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Marked with band; ties to positive rail or transformer secondary output; serves as clamping reference in avalanche operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Glass-passivated junction | Ensures long-term stability of reverse leakage and breakdown voltage across temperature and humidity stress. |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Allows unlimited floor life and reflow at 260 °C peak without preconditioning - simplifies SMT line integration. |

| JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance | Prevents tin whisker growth under thermal cycling, critical for reliability in automotive under-hood modules. |
| Avalanche energy rating (20 mJ) | Provides controlled, non-destructive clamping during inductive switching transients - eliminates need for external snubbers in many designs. |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Output Rectification | Automotive DC-DC Converter Freewheeling |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L06S | VRRM = 600 V, trr = 35 ns, IF(AV) = 1.0 A, SMA package | Limited to ≤400 V DC bus; faster recovery but lower voltage margin and current rating | Select when 600 V rating suffices and sub-50 ns trr is prioritized over avalanche robustness. |
| ES1J-M3/5AT | VRRM = 600 V, trr = 35 ns, IF(AV) = 1.0 A, SMA package, no avalanche rating | No specified avalanche energy; not qualified to AEC-Q101 or JESD 201 Class 2 | Use only in cost-sensitive consumer-grade SMPS where 600 V rating and basic reliability suffice. |
Compared with STTH1L06S and ES1J-M3/5AT, the BYG23M-M3/TR3 provides higher voltage margin (1000 V), certified avalanche capability (20 mJ), and automotive-grade process qualifications - making it preferred for industrial and automotive power stages requiring transient resilience and long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for BYG23M-M3/TR3?
The BYG23M-M3/TR3 has a maximum operating junction temperature of +150 °C and a storage temperature range of –55 °C to +150 °C. This rating allows reliable operation in under-hood automotive environments and enclosed industrial power supplies where ambient temperatures exceed 85 °C. Derating curves in the datasheet confirm 1.5 A IF(AV) is valid up to 65 °C ambient with standard PCB copper area.
Does BYG23M-M3/TR3 have an AEC-Q101 qualification?
No, the BYG23M-M3/TR3 is halogen-free and RoHS-compliant but not AEC-Q101 qualified. The AEC-Q101 version uses the HM3 suffix (e.g., BYG23MHM3_A/I). The M3 suffix indicates commercial-grade qualification meeting JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance and MSL Level 1, but not full automotive stress testing.
What does the "TR3" suffix indicate in BYG23M-M3/TR3?
The "TR3" suffix denotes packaging in 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, containing 7500 units per reel. This format is optimized for high-volume SMT assembly lines using large-capacity feeders. The base part BYG23M-M3 defines the halogen-free, RoHS-compliant die and termination; TR3 specifies the delivery method and quantity, not electrical or thermal differences.
How does the avalanche energy rating of BYG23M-M3/TR3 improve system reliability?
The BYG23M-M3/TR3 is rated for 20 mJ non-repetitive avalanche energy (ER) under defined test conditions. This allows it to safely absorb inductive turn-off energy during MOSFET/IGBT switching events without failure - reducing or eliminating the need for external RC snubbers in flyback, buck, and motor drive circuits. That directly improves board-level reliability and reduces component count.
Can BYG23M-M3/TR3 replace BYG23M-E3/TR3 in a design?
Yes, BYG23M-M3/TR3 can replace BYG23M-E3/TR3 in most applications, as both share identical electrical specifications, thermal performance, and SMA package dimensions. The only difference is material composition: M3 is halogen-free while E3 is standard RoHS-compliant. No layout or schematic changes are needed, but verify halogen-free compliance requirements in your end-equipment standards before substitution.
