BAT54-G3-18

Single Diodes Overview

The BAT54-G3-18 is a small signal Schottky diode manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 30 V and a forward continuous current rating of 200 mA. The device exhibits a low forward voltage, typically 240 mV at 0.1 mA, and a reverse leakage current of 2 µA at 25 V. Packaged in an SOT-23 case with a weight of approximately 9.2 mg, it operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to +125 °C. The component has a moisture sensitivity level of 1 and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability standards.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix to confirm packaging quantity and reel size. The -G3-18 variant corresponds to a taped unit configuration with 10,000 units per reel. Ensure compatibility with standard surface mount assembly processes for the SOT-23 package. Confirm that the commercial grade specification aligns with project requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring low forward voltage drop and rapid switching speeds in a compact surface mount footprint. The SOT-23 package offers space efficiency for dense circuit layouts. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics when determining power dissipation limits under continuous operating conditions. Validate electrical parameters against specific application load requirements.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BAT54 series of small signal Schottky diodes from Vishay Semiconductors. The series includes single and dual configurations such as BAT54A, BAT54C, and BAT54S variants. These devices are designed for general-purpose applications utilizing Schottky barrier technology for improved performance over standard silicon rectifiers.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

BAT54-G3-08 serves as a direct substitute with identical electrical specifications but differs in packaging quantity, offering 3,000 units per reel instead of 10,000.
