BAS83-GS18

Single Diodes Overview

The BAS83-GS18 is a small signal Schottky diode manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors, housed in the MiniMELF (SOD-80) package. It features a maximum reverse voltage of 60 V and a forward continuous current rating of 30 mA. The device exhibits a low forward voltage drop, with typical values ranging from 330 mV at 0.1 mA to 1000 mV at 15 mA. Electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 200 nA and a diode capacitance of 1.6 pF at 1 V reverse bias. Thermal resistance from junction to ambient air is specified at 320 K/W.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Integrated protection ring against static discharge
• Low capacitance for high-frequency applications
• Low leakage current and low forward voltage drop
• Very low switching time

Single Diodes Applications

• HF-detector
• Protection circuit
• Diode for low currents with a low supply voltage
• Small battery charger
• Power supplies
• DC/DC converter for notebooks

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix to confirm packaging configuration. The GS18 designation indicates availability on a 13-inch reel containing 10,000 units per box. Confirm that the component meets material categorization compliance requirements as defined by the manufacturer before finalizing procurement specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a 60 V reverse voltage rating is required within a MiniMELF form factor. The device is suitable for circuits demanding very low switching times and minimal forward voltage drops. Ensure the application current remains within the 30 mA continuous limit and verify thermal management capabilities given the 320 K/W junction-to-ambient resistance.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BAS81/BAS82/BAS83 family of small signal Schottky diodes. While sharing identical electrical performance and physical dimensions, the series is differentiated solely by reverse voltage ratings: BAS81 supports 40 V, BAS82 supports 50 V, and BAS83 supports 60 V. All variants utilize the SOD-80 package and share the same thermal and mechanical characteristics.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

BAS81-GS18 or BAS82-GS18 may serve as substitutes if the circuit design allows for lower reverse voltage margins. These alternatives offer identical electrical parameters and package compatibility but provide reduced breakdown voltages of 40 V and 50 V respectively.
