Product details
Overview
BYM359X-1500,127 from NXP (formerly Philips Semiconductors) is a dual fast-recovery diode in a single SOT186A package, integrating a 1500 V damper diode and an 800 V modulator diode for horizontal deflection circuits. Confirmed parameters: VR = 1500 V (damper), trr ≤ 300 ns (damper), VF ≤ 1.45 V at 6.5 A, IFSM = 60 A, isolated mounting tab.
For engineers reviewing the BYM359X-1500,127 datasheet, BYM359X-1500,127 pinout, BYM359X-1500,127 application, or BYM359X-1500,127 equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage split between damper/modulator paths, soft recovery behavior for EMI reduction, thermal resistance to heatsink (Rth j-hs = 4.8 K/W), and isolation voltage rating (Visol = 2500 V RMS).
Technical Context
The BYM359X-1500,127 implements two functionally distinct diodes on one die: a high-voltage damper path rated at 1500 V VRRM and 300 ns max trr, and a lower-voltage modulator path rated at 800 V VRRM and 145 ns max trr. Both share a common anode/cathode terminal (Pin 2), enabling compact horizontal deflection flyback and scan modulation in CRT systems.
Its SOT186A package features an electrically isolated seating plane, allowing direct mechanical mounting to a heatsink without insulating washers. The device operates up to TJ = 150 °C and supports sinusoidal and square-wave current waveforms with form factor a = 1.57 and duty cycle D = 1.0.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (Damper) | 1500 V - withstands peak flyback voltage in CRT horizontal deflection without breakdown |
| VR (Modulator) | 800 V - supports scan modulation voltage in PC monitor and color TV applications |
| trr (Damper) | ≤300 ns - enables fast switching at 16–56 kHz deflection frequencies with low switching loss |
| VF @ 6.5 A | ≤1.45 V - reduces conduction loss and thermal stress during high-current flyback discharge |
| Rth j-hs | 4.8 K/W - allows efficient heat transfer to external heatsink when mounted with thermal compound |
| Visol | 2500 V RMS - provides reinforced insulation between terminals and heatsink for safety compliance |
| Cisol | ≤10 pF - minimizes capacitive coupling noise from high-dV/dt deflection signals to chassis |
Pinout & Package
SOT186A plastic envelope with isolated mounting tab; 3-pin leaded package, 15.8 mm length, 10.3 mm height, 2 g mass. Seating plane is electrically isolated from all terminals per Fig.14.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Damper cathode | Output node of damper diode; connects to flyback transformer primary return |
| 2 | Common anode/cathode | Shared terminal: anode for damper, cathode for modulator - enables dual-path integration |
| 3 | Modulator anode | Input node of modulator diode; connects to horizontal output transistor collector |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Soft recovery characteristic | Reduces EMI generation during turn-off by limiting di/dt overshoot and voltage ringing |
| Isolated mounting tab | Eliminates need for insulating pads or mica washers when bolted to heatsink |
| Low forward voltage | VF ≤ 1.45 V at 6.5 A lowers power dissipation and improves thermal margin in continuous operation |
| High thermal cycling performance | Rated for repeated thermal stress in CRT deflection circuits operating at 150 °C junction temperature |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual fast-recovery diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BYM359-1500,118 | Same die, identical electrical specs, but non-isolated SOT186A variant (no isolated tab) | Requires insulating hardware for heatsink mounting; unsuitable where creepage/clearance mandates isolation | Select BYM359X-1500,127 when heatsink isolation is required; use BYM359-1500,118 only if mechanical isolation is handled externally |
| BYW98-200 | Single 200 V diode, no modulator path; trr = 50 ns, VF = 1.15 V @ 8 A - faster but lower voltage rating | Cannot replace dual-function role; only suitable as damper-only replacement with derated voltage margin | Use only as partial substitute in non-modulator designs; requires redesign to accommodate separate modulator circuit |
Compared with BYM359-1500,118 and BYW98-200, the BYM359X-1500,127 uniquely integrates isolated dual-diode functionality - enabling single-component CRT deflection solutions where voltage separation, soft recovery, and heatsink isolation are simultaneously required.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for BYM359X-1500,127?
The BYM359X-1500,127 has a maximum operating junction temperature of 150 °C, as specified in the Limiting Values table. This rating applies to both damper and modulator sections and is validated under conditions including heatsink mounting with thermal compound and sinusoidal current waveforms. Thermal design must ensure TJ does not exceed this limit during peak surge or continuous operation.
Does BYM359X-1500,127 support both damper and modulator functions in the same package?
Yes, the BYM359X-1500,127 integrates two independent diodes: a 1500 V damper diode (Pins 1–2) and an 800 V modulator diode (Pins 2–3), sharing Pin 2 as common anode/cathode. This dual-path architecture is explicitly defined in the General Description and Pinning section of the Philips datasheet, enabling compact horizontal deflection circuitry in CRT systems.
What is the isolation voltage rating between terminals and heatsink for BYM359X-1500,127?
The BYM359X-1500,127 provides 2500 V RMS isolation voltage (Visol) from all three terminals to an external heatsink, measured at 50–60 Hz sinusoidal waveform under 65% relative humidity. This isolation is enabled by the electrically isolated seating plane in the SOT186A package, eliminating need for insulating hardware in compliant designs.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) specification for the damper section of BYM359X-1500,127?
The damper section of BYM359X-1500,127 has a maximum reverse recovery time of 300 ns, measured at IF = 1 A, VR ≥ 30 V, and -dIF/dt = 50 A/µs, per the Dynamic Characteristics table. A typical value of 200 ns is also provided, confirming fast, soft recovery behavior critical for EMI control in horizontal deflection applications.
Can BYM359X-1500,127 be used in modern LCD or LED display power supplies?
The BYM359X-1500,127 is optimized for CRT horizontal deflection circuits operating at 16–56 kHz and is not recommended for modern switch-mode power supplies in LCD/LED displays. Its voltage ratings, soft recovery profile, and dual-diode topology align specifically with flyback transformer energy recovery and scan modulation - functions absent in contemporary display architectures.
