Fast high-voltage soft-recovery rectifiers BY8400 series
FEATURES
Glass passivated
High maximum operating
temperature
Low leakage current
Excellent stability
Soft-recovery switching
characteristics
Compact construction.
APPLICATIONS
For colour television and monitors
up to 25 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.

Data Sheet Status
Objective specification This data sheet contains target or goal specifications for product development.
Preliminary specification This data sheet contains preliminary data; supplementary data may be published later.
Product specification This data sheet contains final product specifications.
Limiting values
Limiting values given are in accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 134). Stress above one or
more of the limiting values may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and operation
of the device at these or at any other conditions above those given in the Characteristics sections of the specification
is not implied. Exposure to limiting values for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Application information
Where application information is given, it is advisory and does not form part of the specification.
