Product details
Overview
BYW100-200 from STMicroelectronics is a high-efficiency fast recovery rectifier diode in DO-15 package, designed for switching-mode base drive and transistor circuits. It features 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.5 A average forward current at 95°C, 0.85 V max forward voltage at 100°C/1.5 A, 35 ns reverse recovery time (trr), and 10 nC reverse recovery charge (Qrr).
For engineers reviewing the BYW100-200 datasheet, BYW100-200 pinout, BYW100-200 application, or BYW100-200 equivalent, key selection criteria include fast trr for reduced switching loss, low VF for conduction efficiency, thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 45 °C/W on infinite heatsink), and DO-15 mechanical compatibility in compact SMPS and motor drive designs.
Technical Context
This diode employs optimized silicon process and junction design to achieve low conduction losses (VF ≤ 0.85 V @ 1.5 A, 100°C) and negligible switching losses via fast, soft recovery. Its 35 ns trr and 30 ns tfr are measured under standardized conditions (IF = 1 A, dIF/dt = −50 A/µs, VR = 30 V, Tj = 25°C), enabling reliable operation in high-frequency (<100 kHz) switching converters.
The device supports surge handling up to 50 A (10 ms sinusoidal) and operates up to 150°C junction temperature. Thermal resistance Rth(j-a) = 45 °C/W is specified with 10 mm lead length on infinite heatsink, while Rth(j-l) drops significantly with shorter leads-critical for PCB-level thermal management in space-constrained power stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - Withstands repetitive reverse voltage up to 200 V without breakdown, suitable for 110–120 VAC input rectification with safety margin. |
| IF(AV) | 1.5 A @ Ta = 95°C, δ = 0.5 - Sustains continuous average forward current of 1.5 A with 50% duty cycle on standard heatsink. |
| VF (max) | 0.85 V @ Tj = 100°C, IF = 1.5 A - Low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in low-voltage output stages (e.g., 5 V/3 A SMPS). |
| trr | 35 ns @ IF = 1 A, dIF/dt = −50 A/µs, VR = 30 V, Tj = 25°C - Enables clean turn-off in 50–100 kHz flyback and forward converters, minimizing EMI and snubber loss. |
| Qrr | 10 nC @ IF = 1.5 A, dIF/dt = −20 A/µs, VR ≤ 30 V, Tj = 25°C - Low stored charge reduces reverse recovery current spike and associated switching stress on MOSFETs. |
| Rth(j-a) | 45 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance with 10 mm leads on infinite heatsink; guides PCB copper area and airflow requirements for thermal design. |
| Tj (max) | +150 °C - Maximum allowable junction temperature supports operation in sealed industrial enclosures without forced cooling. |
Pinout & Package
DO-15 axial-leaded package with cathode indicated by white band. Body length 6.05–6.75 mm, diameter 2.95–3.53 mm, lead length ≥26 mm, lead diameter 0.71–0.88 mm. Weight: 0.4 g.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential side (e.g., transformer secondary center-tap or switch node) in half-wave or full-wave rectifier configurations. |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked with white band; connects to output capacitor positive rail; blocks reverse voltage up to 200 V during off-state. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast recovery time | trr = 35 ns ensures minimal overlap loss in hard-switched topologies, reducing MOSFET switching stress and improving system efficiency. |
| Low forward voltage | VF ≤ 0.85 V at 100°C/1.5 A lowers conduction loss by ~25% vs. standard FR107, directly improving thermal margin in enclosed power supplies. |
| Soft recovery characteristic | Controlled dV/dt during turn-off limits EMI generation and eliminates need for RC snubbers in many 50–100 kHz applications. |
| High surge capability | 50 A non-repetitive surge rating (10 ms sine) supports inrush current handling in offline AC-DC adapters without derating. |
| UL 94 V-0 epoxy encapsulation | Flame-retardant package meets IEC/EN 62368-1 safety requirements for consumer and industrial end equipment. |
Applications
| AC-DC Adapter Rectification | Switch-Mode Power Supply Output Stage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rectifying 115 VAC input in compact wall-plug adapters delivering 5–12 V/2–3 A. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side fast recovery rectifier in bridge configuration, operating at 50/60 Hz line frequency with minimal conduction loss. Use Value: 0.85 V VF at 100°C reduces heat generation by 0.3 W vs. FR107, enabling smaller heatsink or higher power density in UL-certified enclosures. | Use Scenario: Secondary-side synchronous rectifier replacement in 65–100 kHz flyback converters for LED drivers and IoT power modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery freewheeling diode clamping transformer leakage energy and enabling clean output ripple suppression. Use Value: 35 ns trr and 10 nC Qrr minimize reverse recovery spikes, allowing stable regulation without additional gate-drive complexity of MOSFET-based synchronous rectification. |
| Motor Drive Base Drive Protection | Industrial DC Link Clamping |
Use Scenario: Protecting bipolar transistor base-emitter junctions from reverse voltage transients in H-bridge motor driver ICs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp diode across BJT base-collector path, conducting only during fast turn-off transitions to prevent avalanche breakdown. Use Value: 200 V VRRM and 30 ns tfr ensure robust protection against 100–200 V inductive kickback without delay-induced latch-up. | Use Scenario: Snubberless clamping of DC link voltage overshoot in 24–48 V industrial PLC power rails during relay switching or solenoid de-energization. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient voltage suppressor replacing TVS diodes where repetitive, low-energy clamping is required with minimal leakage. Use Value: 0.5 mA IR at 100°C ensures <1 µW standby dissipation, avoiding thermal drift issues common with Zener-based clamp networks. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast recovery rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH1L06 | VRRM = 600 V, IF(AV) = 1 A, trr = 35 ns, DO-41 package | Higher voltage rating but lower current; requires different PCB footprint and thermal layout | Select when 600 V isolation is mandatory (e.g., 230 VAC inputs); derate average current by 33% vs. BYW100-200. |
| FR107 | VRRM = 1000 V, IF(AV) = 1 A, trr = 500 ns, DO-41 package | Slower recovery increases switching loss >5×; unsuitable for >20 kHz operation | Acceptable only in low-frequency (<10 kHz), low-cost linear supply designs where efficiency and EMI are not critical. |
Compared with STTH1L06 and FR107, BYW100-200 delivers optimal balance of 200 V rating, 1.5 A current, and 35 ns speed in DO-15-making it uniquely suited for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 115 VAC adapter and motor control base-drive applications where FR107 is too slow and STTH1L06 over-specifies voltage.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for BYW100-200?
The absolute maximum junction temperature (Tj) is +150 °C, verified per STMicroelectronics' datasheet Section "Absolute Ratings". Operation above this limit risks permanent degradation of the PN junction and accelerated parameter drift. Derating curves in Figure 2 confirm 1.5 A IF(AV) is valid only up to 95°C ambient with δ = 0.5 duty cycle and infinite heatsink.
Is BYW100-200 suitable for surface-mount assembly?
No-BYW100-200 uses a DO-15 axial-leaded through-hole package, not an SMD variant. Its mechanical dimensions (6.05–6.75 mm body length, 2.95–3.53 mm diameter) and 26–31 mm lead length require hole mounting and wave or hand soldering. For SMD alternatives, consider ST's STTH1R06 in SMA package (VRRM = 600 V, IF(AV) = 1 A, trr = 35 ns).
How does BYW100-200 compare to standard 1N4007 in switching applications?
Unlike 1N4007 (trr > 2 µs, VF ≈ 1.1 V @ 1 A), BYW100-200 offers 35 ns trr and 0.85 V VF at 1.5 A/100°C-reducing switching loss by >95% and conduction loss by ~23%. This makes it viable for 50–100 kHz SMPS; 1N4007 is limited to ≤1 kHz linear supplies due to excessive recovery loss and thermal runaway risk.
What is the cathode marking convention for BYW100-200?
The cathode is marked by a single white band on the diode body, consistent with industry-standard DO-15 polarity identification. During PCB layout, the banded end must connect to the higher-potential node (e.g., output capacitor positive rail) to ensure correct forward biasing and reverse blocking functionality.
