Product specification
Very fast high-voltage soft-recovery rectifiers
BY715 to BY724
FEATURES
Glass passivated
High maximum operating temperature
Low leakage current
Excellent stability
Soft-recovery switching characteristics
Compact construction.
APPLICATIONS
For high-voltage rectification up to 75 kHz
High-voltage applications for:
Multipliers
Slot-wound diode-split-transformers.
DESCRIPTION
Rugged glass package, using a high temperature alloyed
construction.
This package is hermetically sealed and fatigue free as
coefficients of expansion of all used parts are matched.
The package is designed to be used in an insulating
medium such as resin, oil or SF6 gas.
