Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the component authenticity against the official Nexperia datasheet specifications. Confirm the marking code '6' on the SOD523 package matches the BAS516 type number. Ensure the ordering suffix ',315' corresponds to the correct reel or tape-and-reel packaging configuration as defined in the manufacturer's ordering information.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when circuit design requires fast transition times and minimal parasitic capacitance. The SOD523 package is suitable for space-constrained printed-circuit board layouts. Verify that the operating voltage does not exceed the 100 V limit and that thermal dissipation requirements remain within the 500 mW total power dissipation rating.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the Nexperia BAS series of high-speed switching diodes. It is designed for surface-mount technology applications requiring compact footprints. The SOD523 package provides a small body size of 1.2 mm x 0.8 mm x 0.6 mm, facilitating automated assembly processes in modern electronics manufacturing.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the BAS16_SER family if pin compatibility and electrical ratings are identical. Verify that any replacement maintains the same SOD523 package dimensions and reverse recovery time specifications.
