BYM10-100-E3/96 (Avalanche technology, 6814 pcs available)

All parts are Active status, RoHS3 compliant, and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. Technology designation (Standard or Avalanche) does not affect electrical performance within the specified parameters. Selection should prioritize packaging format compatibility with assembly equipment and inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute GL41B-E3/97 with 1N6479-E3/96?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent, with identical voltage, current, and thermal ratings. Both are supplied in Tape & Reel packaging and carry Standard technology designation. The primary difference is the base product number and manufacturer part number suffix.

Q: What is the difference between Standard and Avalanche technology variants?

A: Both technology designations (Standard and Avalanche) deliver identical electrical performance within the specified parameters for this product category. The technology designation reflects internal design characteristics but does not alter the rated voltage, current, forward voltage, recovery speed, or leakage current specifications.

Q: Can I use BYM10-100-E3/96 (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®) in place of GL41B-E3/97 (Tape & Reel)?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained. However, packaging format differs. BYM10-100-E3/96 is supplied in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel® format, while GL41B-E3/97 is supplied in Tape & Reel format. Verify that your assembly equipment supports the alternative packaging configuration before substitution.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry RoHS3 compliance certification and are REACH Unaffected, matching the compliance status of the GL41B-E3/97.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these diodes?

A: The operating temperature range for the junction is -65°C to 175°C for all listed parts, including the GL41B-E3/97 and all substitute options.

Q: Can packaging format affect circuit performance?

A: Packaging format (Tape & Reel, Cut Tape, Digi-Reel®) does not affect electrical performance. Format selection is determined by assembly process requirements and equipment compatibility. All formats deliver the same diode performance within the specified electrical parameters.

Q: Is moisture sensitivity a concern for these parts?

A: No. All listed parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements.
