BAS70-QVL

Single Diodes Overview

The BAS70-QVL is an automotive-grade Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Nexperia. It features a single diode configuration housed in a compact SOT-23 (TO-236AB) surface-mount package. The device is rated for a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 70 V and offers a forward current capability of 70 mA. Designed for high-speed switching applications, it exhibits low forward voltage drop and minimal leakage current. The component complies with AEC-Q101 standards, ensuring reliability under stringent automotive operating conditions.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Automotive grade qualification compliant with AEC-Q101 standards
• High-speed switching performance with low forward voltage
• Compact SOT-23 surface-mount packaging for space-constrained designs

Single Diodes Applications

• Automotive electronics systems requiring reliable rectification
• General-purpose high-speed switching circuits
• Clamping and protection applications in vehicle networks

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'QVL' confirms the AEC-Q101 automotive qualification and tape-and-reel packaging format. Ensure the order matches the required SOT-23 variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a constraint. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest longevity program data to validate supply availability for long-term production needs.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when automotive reliability certification is mandatory for the application. The 70 V rating suits low-voltage DC bus protection scenarios. Consider the 70 mA current limit for signal-level or low-power rectification tasks rather than high-current power delivery. The SOT-23 package is suitable for automated surface-mount assembly processes.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Nexperia's BAS70 series of Schottky diodes, which are engineered for efficiency and speed. The QVL designation specifically denotes the automotive quality tier and reel packaging. This series provides a robust solution for replacing standard silicon diodes where lower forward voltage and faster recovery times are critical for system performance.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other AEC-Q101 qualified Schottky diodes from Nexperia such as the BAS40 series for lower voltage requirements. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substituting with components from other manufacturers.
