BAS16WS-E3-08

Single Diodes Overview

The BAS16WS-E3-08 is a silicon epitaxial planar diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor. It functions as a fast switching diode with a maximum DC reverse voltage of 75 V and an average forward rectified current of 250 mA. The component exhibits a peak forward surge current capability of 2.0 A at 1 microsecond. Electrical characteristics include a reverse recovery time of 6 ns, a maximum reverse leakage current of 1 µA at 75 V, and a junction capacitance of 4 pF at 0 V and 1 MHz. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C and is housed in the SOD-323 surface mount package.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Clamping and protection circuits requiring fast response

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E3-08 confirms RoHS compliance and tape-and-reel packaging format. Confirm the manufacturer designation matches Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with standard reel sizes if bulk procurement is required. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure compatibility with current design specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a small-signal diode requires faster switching performance than standard general-purpose types like the 1N4148. The SOD-323 package offers a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained designs. Verify that the 75 V reverse voltage rating exceeds the maximum circuit operating voltage. Consider the 250 mA current limit for load requirements.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BAS16 series of small-signal switching diodes from Vishay. The series includes variants such as the BAS16-E3-08 in SOT-23 and the BAS16D-E3-08 in SC-79 packages. These components are designed for high-speed switching applications where low capacitance and fast recovery times are critical. The WS suffix typically denotes the SOD-323 package style.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 75 V, 250 mA fast switching diodes in SOD-323 packages. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters such as reverse recovery time and forward voltage drop before substitution.
