Engineering Selection Recommendations

The BYM13-50-E3/96 is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the SGL41-50-E3/97. Both components are manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division and maintain identical specifications across all critical parameters: reverse voltage rating, forward current capacity, forward voltage drop, recovery speed, reverse leakage current, and junction capacitance.

Both parts are classified as Active product status, ROHS3 compliant, and carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The components are functionally interchangeable in surface mount applications requiring 50 V, 1 A Schottky rectifier diodes in DO-213AB packaging.

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format: SGL41-50-E3/97 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while BYM13-50-E3/96 is supplied in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel format. This difference affects procurement and assembly logistics but does not impact electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BYM13-50-E3/96 be used as a direct replacement for SGL41-50-E3/97?

A: Yes. Both components are Schottky rectifier diodes with identical electrical specifications (50 V reverse voltage, 1 A average rectified current, 700 mV forward voltage drop at 1 A, fast recovery characteristics, and matching junction temperature range). Both are housed in DO-213AB MELF packages and are surface mount compatible.

Q: What is the difference between Tape & Reel and Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging?

A: Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel are different packaging and delivery formats for surface mount components. Tape & Reel supplies components on continuous tape wound on reels for automated assembly. Cut Tape & Digi-Reel supplies components on tape segments or alternative reel formats. These formats do not affect component electrical performance or mechanical fit on printed circuit boards.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both SGL41-50-E3/97 and BYM13-50-E3/96 are ROHS3 compliant and carry REACH Unaffected status.

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

A: Both components operate across a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Q: Do these diodes require special handling?

A: Both components carry Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1, which indicates unlimited shelf life and no special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.

Q: Are the reverse leakage current specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both components specify 500 µA reverse leakage current at 50 V reverse voltage.

Q: What is the junction capacitance for these diodes?

A: Both components specify 80 pF capacitance measured at 4 V reverse voltage and 1 MHz frequency.
