Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix HE3-08 confirms RoHS compliance and tape-and-reel packaging format. Confirm AEC-Q101 status if automotive application is required, as this may be a variant-specific attribute. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with official Vishay documentation to ensure correct pinout and thermal characteristics for the SOD-323 package.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a small-signal diode with faster switching speeds than standard rectifiers is needed in a compact SOD-323 footprint. Consider the 250 mA current rating and 75 V reverse voltage limits against circuit requirements. Ensure the operating environment stays within the specified -55°C to 150°C junction temperature range for optimal performance and longevity.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BAS16 series of small-signal fast switching diodes from Vishay. The WS designation typically indicates the SOD-323 surface mount package variant. The HE3 suffix denotes lead-free construction compliant with RoHS directives. This series serves as a modern replacement for older through-hole switching diodes in space-constrained PCB designs.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Vishay BAS16 variants in compatible packages, such as BAS16-E3-08 or BAS16-HE3-08, provided the package type matches the board layout. Verify that alternative manufacturers' equivalents meet the same 75V/250mA ratings and switching speed requirements.
