BAV103

Single Diodes Overview

The Diotec Semiconductor BAV103 is a superfast recovery SMD rectifier diode available in Plastic MiniMELF and Glass MiniMELF packages. It features an average forward current (IFAV) of 250 mA, a peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 9 A for pulses ≤ 1 µs, and a maximum repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) of 650 mA equivalent rating context. The device exhibits a forward voltage (VF) of less than 1.25 V at 0.2 A, a reverse recovery time (trr) under 50 ns, and a typical junction capacitance of 5 pF. Operating temperatures range from -50°C to +175°C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant required, as the component is offered in both Plastic MiniMELF and Glass MiniMELF forms. Confirm compliance with RoHS and ELV directives if mandated by the target application environment. Ensure that the selected part matches the exact electrical ratings needed for the circuit's peak reverse voltage and surge current requirements.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when superfast recovery times are critical to minimize switching losses and signal distortion. The high junction temperature capability allows for robust performance in thermally constrained environments without derating. Consider the specific MiniMELF material preference based on mechanical stress or environmental sealing needs within the assembly process.
