Frequently Asked Questions

What is BY255?
The BY255 is a glass passivized junction Plastic Rectifier with matte tin-plated leads terminals and UL94V-0 flame-rated molded epoxy over the glass body. The plastic rectifier features high forward surge capability and Superectifier structure for the high-reliability application. Color band denotes cathode end polarity.
What other models can be used to replace the BY255?
You can choose a rectifier diode with Io> 3A (for example, 4A 5A 6A) VR> 1300V.
