BAT17,215

RF Diode Overview

The BAT17,215 is a Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc., designed for surface-mount applications. It utilizes the SOT-23 (TO-236AB) plastic package with three pins. The device features a repetitive peak reverse voltage (Vrrm) of 40 V and a maximum continuous forward current (If) of 200 mA. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage (Vf) of 550 mV at rated current, a peak non-repetitive forward surge current (Ifsm) of 1 A, and a maximum reverse current (Ir) of 15 µA. The component operates within a temperature range from -65 °C to +150 °C.

RF Diode Selection Notes

Select the BAT17 based on its 40 V reverse voltage rating and 200 mA forward current capability. Ensure the design accommodates the specified thermal limits and package constraints. Confirm that the SOT-23 form factor fits the available PCB space and that the Schottky characteristics align with the circuit's speed and efficiency requirements.

RF Diode Part Context

The BAT17 belongs to Nexperia's portfolio of small-signal Schottky diodes. It shares the SOT-23 package family with other components like the BAT54S and BAT721C but differs in internal configuration and specific electrical ratings. This part is distinct from general-purpose PN junction diodes due to its faster recovery and lower forward voltage profile.

RF Diode Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not provided in the available documentation. Engineers should consult official Nexperia cross-reference guides or datasheets for verified equivalents before substitution.
