The BYW100-200 is a standard fast-recovery rectifier diode from WeEn Semiconductor, rated for 200 V reverse voltage and 1.5 A average forward current. The 1.2 V forward drop at 4.5 A pulsed current gives a reasonable efficiency trade-off for that speed.

DO-15 axial package — board-level fit
The diode comes in a DO-204AC (DO-15) axial-lead through-hole package, which is a common footprint for 1 A–2 A rectifiers. The through-hole mounting suits point-to-point wiring, terminal blocks, or boards where wave-solder assembly is the standard.
Reverse leakage and junction temperature
Maximum reverse leakage is 10 µA at the rated 200 V, which is typical for a fast-recovery silicon diode at room temperature.
