BAV101-GS18

Single Diodes Overview

The BAV101-GS18 is a silicon epitaxial planar switching diode from Vishay Semiconductors, housed in the MiniMELF (SOD-80) case. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 120 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 differential forward resistance of 5 Ω at 10 mA. Electrical characteristics include a reverse current of 100 nA at 100 V and a breakdown voltage of 120 V. Thermal performance supports a junction temperature up to 175 °C with a thermal resistance of 350 K/W.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity by cross-referencing the manufacturer part number and datasheet revision against authorized distribution channels. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required packaging configuration. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and material categorization standards as specified in the official documentation before finalizing procurement orders.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-diode configuration requires a 120 V reverse voltage rating and a 250 mA continuous forward current capacity. The SOD-80 package is suitable for surface-mount assembly where space constraints exist. Consider the 175 °C maximum junction temperature for high-thermal environments and verify that the 50 ns reverse recovery time meets the specific circuit speed requirements.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the BAV10x series of small-signal switching diodes manufactured by Vishay Semiconductors. The series includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings, such as the BAV100 (60 V), BAV102 (200 V), and BAV103 (250 V). All members share the same MiniMELF (SOD-80) package and general electrical characteristics, differing primarily in their breakdown voltage specifications.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include BAV100-GS18, BAV102-GS18, and BAV103-GS18. Verify that the alternative part's reverse voltage rating exceeds the circuit's maximum operating voltage to ensure reliable performance.
