BAS516-QX

Single Diodes Overview

The BAS516-Q is a high-speed switching diode from Nexperia, encapsulated in an SOD523 (SC-79) ultra-small and flat lead Surface-Mounted Device plastic package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and a maximum reverse recovery time of 4 ns. The device supports a forward current of 250 mA at 25 °C and offers low capacitance and leakage current characteristics. Qualified according to AEC-Q101, it is recommended for automotive applications.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• High switching speed with a maximum reverse recovery time of 4 ns
• Qualified according to AEC-Q101 standard for automotive use
• Low capacitance and low leakage current performance
• Encapsulated in an ultra-small SOD523 surface-mounted package

Single Diodes Applications

• High-speed switching
• General-purpose switching

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required tape-and-reel or cut-tape configuration. Confirm that the component status remains as 'Production' rather than 'Development' or 'Preliminary'. Ensure the requested quantity aligns with distributor availability standards. Check for any recent revision history updates that may affect marking codes or package outlines before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when design requirements demand minimal footprint size alongside rapid switching capabilities. The AEC-Q101 qualification makes it suitable for automotive environments where reliability under stress is critical. Consider its low capacitance for high-frequency signal paths. Evaluate thermal resistance limits if operating near maximum junction temperatures in confined spaces.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Nexperia's BAS series of high-speed switching diodes. It shares functional similarities with other small-signal diodes but distinguishes itself through its specific AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and compact SOD523 packaging. It serves as a specialized solution for space-constrained circuits requiring fast recovery times.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the non-automotive BAS516 variant. Verify pinout compatibility and ensure replacement parts meet the same 100 V reverse voltage and 4 ns recovery time specifications.
