Product specification

High-voltage car ignition diode

BYX132GL

FEATURES

• Glass passivated

• High maximum operating temperature

• Low leakage current

• Excellent stability

• Guaranteed avalanche energy absorption capability.

APPLICATIONS

• Car ignition systems

• Automotive applications with extreme temperature

requirements.

DESCRIPTION

Rugged glass package, using a high temperature alloyed

construction.

The SOD119AB is hermetically sealed and fatigue free as

coefficients of expansion of all used parts are matched.

The package is designed to be used in an insulating

medium such as resin, oil or SF6 gas.
