Product specification
BYC8-600
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Glass passivated, epitaxial rectifier diode in a plastic envelope. This diode has extremely fast reverse recovery time and low reverse recovery current and is designed specifically for use in forced commutation applications, for example:- as the output rectifier diode in power factor correction circuits operating in continuous conduction mode; or as a freewheeling diode in half-bridge and full-bridge switched mode power supplies.
