BAP64-05-TP

RF Diode Overview

The BAP64-05-TP is a general-purpose silicon PIN diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Components (MCC). It operates within an ambient temperature range of -65°C to +150°C and dissipates up to 250mW of power. The device features a maximum continuous reverse voltage of 175V and a forward current rating of 100mA. Electrical characteristics include a typical reverse leakage current of 10µA at 175V, a forward voltage of 1.1V at 50mA, and a charge carrier lifetime of 1.55µs. Diode capacitance values are specified as 0.52pF at 1V reverse bias and 0.37pF at 20V reverse bias, both measured at 1MHz.

RF Diode Feature Summary

• Low diode capacitance for high-frequency signal processing
• Low diode forward resistance to minimize insertion loss
• Halogen-free 'Green' device compliant with environmental standards

RF Diode Applications

• RF switching circuits
• Attenuator applications
• General-purpose rectification in low-power systems

RF Diode Procurement Notes

Verify authenticity by purchasing directly from MCC or authorized distributors. Counterfeit parts lack traceability and quality assurance. Confirm the 'TP' suffix indicates tape and reel packaging containing 3000 pieces per reel. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings during sourcing.

RF Diode Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring fast switching speeds and low capacitance. The SOT-23 package suits space-constrained designs. Verify thermal management requirements against the 500°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Consider the 175V reverse voltage limit for circuit protection levels.

RF Diode Part Context

This part belongs to the BAP64 series, which includes variants BAP64-04 and BAP64-06. All share identical electrical specifications and physical dimensions but differ only in device marking codes ('4K', '5K', '6K'). The series is designed for general-purpose pin diode applications requiring reliable performance across wide temperature ranges.

RF Diode Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include BAP64-04 and BAP64-06 from MCC, which share identical electrical parameters and package dimensions. Cross-brand replacements must match the SOT-23 footprint, 175V reverse voltage, and low capacitance characteristics.
