BAS86-GS18

Single Diodes Overview

The BAS86-GS18 is a small signal Schottky diode manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors in the MiniMELF (SOD-80) case. It features a continuous reserve voltage of 50 V and a forward continuous current rating of 200 mA at 25 °C. The device exhibits a low forward voltage drop, typically ranging from 200 mV to 900 mV depending on the forward current level between 0.1 mA and 100 mA. Electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 5 µA at 40 V, a diode capacitance of 8 pF at 1 V and 1 MHz, and a reverse recovery time of 5 ns.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Metal-on-silicon Schottky barrier construction protected by a PN junction guard ring against excessive voltage such as electrostatic discharges
• Low turn-on voltage and fast switching performance suitable for protection of MOS devices
• Designed for steering, biasing, and coupling applications in fast switching and low logic level circuits

Single Diodes Applications

• Protection of MOS devices
• Steering and biasing circuits
• Coupling diodes for fast switching applications
• Low logic level applications requiring very low forward voltage

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm datasheet revision status prior to implementation. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and material categorization requirements specified in official documentation. Validate thermal management capabilities against absolute maximum ratings during system integration.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a low forward voltage drop and rapid switching speed are required for signal integrity. The SOD-80 package offers compact surface-mount suitability for automated assembly. Consider the 50 V reserve voltage and 200 mA continuous current limits to ensure adequate headroom for specific circuit operating conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

The BAS86-GS18 belongs to the BAS86 series of small signal Schottky diodes produced by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It utilizes the MiniMELF (SOD-80) plastic case configuration. The GS18 suffix indicates packaging in tape and reel format, specifically 10,000 units per 13-inch reel using 8 mm tape width.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

The BAT86 variant is available in a DO-35 case configuration.
