BYV26E-TAP
VISHAY
Needs validationmedium risk
A functional alternative from the same Vishay BYV26 series with a higher voltage rating but slower recovery time.
Best Alternatives to BYV26C-TAP
BYV26C-TAP is an active, ultra-fast 600V, 1A diode from Vishay in a SOD-57 package. When searching for replacements, pay close attention to the 30ns reverse recovery time, as this is critical for high-frequency applications.
AI replacement insight
Electrical riskmedium
Slower recovery time is the primary concern for high-frequency circuits.
Package risklow
Multiple candidates share the same SOD-57 package.
Can it be replaced directly?
No direct drop-in replacement has been identified. The closest options, like BYV26E, are from the same family but have a slower reverse recovery time (75ns vs 30ns) that requires engineering review.
Best replacement path
Use another part from the Vishay BYV26 series, like BYV26E, which offers a higher voltage rating but requires checking the impact of its slower (75ns) recovery time.
Main risk
The main risk is increased switching losses or circuit malfunction due to a slower reverse recovery time (`trr`).
