Product Overview
Philips avalanche rectifier diode - 100 V, 2 A, axial white body
Condition
New. The photo shows a representative unit from our stock. Same or next business day shipping from our Idaho warehouse. Honest pricing, no nonsense. Online since 1999. We are here for our customers, with a no-hassle satisfaction guarantee.
Product Overview
A small white cylindrical body with a black cathode band at one end and long axial leads. The printing on the body reads BYV2 in the part that faces the camera; the rest of the string wraps around the body and out of sight, and no maker logo or name is visible in this photo. We catalogue these as Philips; that is our attribution from the stock itself and not a reading of this body, and BYV is a Pro Electron prefix used by more than one manufacturer. The marking takes us as far as the family and no further. The 100 V and 2 A figures below are the ones this listing has always carried. There are 800 on the shelf and they are sold each.
Key Features
- Avalanche rectifier diode, 100 V, 2 A, as this listing has carried it
- Body marking, legible portion only: BYV2; the characters after the 2 wrap out of view, so the full type number and its voltage suffix are not established from this photo. The part number field carries BYV2, the legible portion, rather than a guess at the rest
- Axial two-lead through hole; white cylindrical body, black cathode band marking the cathode end
- No maker logo or name is visible in this photo; Philips in the brand field is our catalog attribution for this stock
- No forward voltage, reverse recovery, surge or temperature figure is legible in the visible portion of the marking, and none is published here because the exact type number is not confirmed
Verify against the manufacturer's published data for the exact type number before designing in.
Applications
- Mains frequency output rectification at the 2 A level
- Freewheel and clamp duty across inductive loads
- Reverse polarity protection on low voltage rails
- Through-hole repair where an axial 100 V 2 A rectifier sat originally
Frequently Asked Questions
How many should I order? Order the count the build needs; 800 are on the shelf here, so there is no reason to buy tight. Shipping is $8 flat rate and free on orders over $28, so small parts like this ship smartest as part of a larger order.
Which end is the cathode, and what exactly does the body say? The black band marks the cathode end, the same convention this body uses in the photo. The printing itself reads BYV2 and then wraps around the body where the camera cannot follow it, so we quote only what is legible rather than guessing the rest. If you need the full type number confirmed before you order, ask us and we will read one in hand.
A part-number stem, a black band, and the honest admission that the rest of the line is on the far side of the body.
