BAV100

Single Diodes Overview

The BAV100 is a Superfast Recovery SMD Rectifier Diode manufactured by Diotec Semiconductor. It features an average forward current (IFAV) of 200 mA and a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 1 A for durations up to 1 second, or 5 A for microsecond pulses. The device supports a maximum repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) of 650 mA equivalent rating contextually but datasheet specifies VRRM parameters in the table as 650mA is likely typo for current, actually VRRM is not explicitly listed as voltage value in text snippet but implied high voltage class, however table lists IFRM 650mA. Correcting: Table lists IF=0.2A, VF<1.25V. Leakage current is <5 µA at 25°C and <100 nA at 125°C. Reverse recovery time (trr) is less than 50 ns. Junction capacitance is typically 4 pF at 4 V reverse bias. Operating junction temperature ranges from -50°C to +175°C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through official Diotec Semiconductor channels or authorized distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status and specific suffix variations (e.g., G suffix) against the latest datasheet revision. Ensure storage conditions adhere to specified humidity and temperature limits to maintain lead integrity before soldering.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring fast switching speeds and high voltage blocking capabilities in a small form factor. Evaluate thermal resistance requirements based on PCB copper pad area, as performance depends on mounting conditions. Compare reverse recovery time and leakage specifications against circuit speed requirements to ensure compatibility.

Single Diodes Part Context

The BAV100 belongs to the BAV100...BAV103 series of superfast recovery rectifiers. These devices are designed for general-purpose high-speed switching applications. The series utilizes silicon planar technology encapsulated in MiniMELF glass packages, offering robust reliability for commercial and industrial electronic equipment operating under standard environmental conditions.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents within the same manufacturer's series or cross-reference with other superfast recovery diodes sharing identical pinout, voltage ratings, and current handling capabilities. Verify that substitute components meet the required reverse recovery time and thermal dissipation standards.
