BAV100-GS18

Single Diodes Overview

The BAV100-GS18 is a silicon epitaxial planar switching diode from Vishay, housed in the MiniMELF (SOD-80) glass package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V and a continuous forward current rating of 250 mA. The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage of 1 V at 100 mA and a low reverse leakage current of 100 nA at 50 V. Thermal resistance from junction to lead is 350 K/W, supporting operation up to a junction temperature of 175 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon epitaxial planar technology for robust switching performance
• Encased in MiniMELF (SOD-80) glass package with black cathode band identification
• Designed for high-voltage applications with specified surge current capabilities

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose signal switching circuits
• High voltage rectification tasks
• Fast switching logic interfaces

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging configuration. GS18 indicates tape and reel packaging containing 10,000 units per 13-inch reel. Confirm that the component meets required material categorization standards by referencing the manufacturer's compliance definitions before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-diode configuration with a 60 V reverse voltage rating is required. The SOD-80 package provides a compact footprint suitable for surface-mount assembly. Ensure the application does not exceed the 250 mA continuous forward current limit or the 1 A peak forward surge current specification under defined pulse conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BAV10x series of small-signal switching diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series differentiates models based on their repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings, ranging from 60 V to 250 V across the BAV100 to BAV103 variants. All members share identical physical dimensions and thermal characteristics within the MiniMELF case.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include BAV100-GS08, which shares identical electrical specifications but utilizes 2,500-unit tape and reel packaging.
