BAV17-TAP

Single Diodes Overview

The BAV17-TAP is a silicon epitaxial planar switching diode from Vishay Semiconductors, designed for high-voltage general-purpose applications. It features a DO-35 (DO-204AH) axial leaded package with a black cathode band. The device supports a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 25 V and a continuous forward current of 250 mA. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 100 nA at 20 V, a typical forward voltage of 1 V at 100 mA, and a reverse recovery time of 50 ns. The junction temperature range extends up to 175 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required packaging format, such as TAP for ammopack or TR for tape and reel. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance requirements by referencing the material categorization documentation provided in the datasheet. Ensure the selected variant aligns with the intended voltage rating and application constraints before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a small-signal switching diode with a 25 V reverse voltage rating is required. Consider the DO-35 package for through-hole mounting needs. Evaluate the 50 ns reverse recovery time against circuit speed requirements. Verify that the 250 mA continuous forward current capability meets the load demands of the specific design application.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BAV17/BAV18/BAV19/BAV20/BAV21 series of small signal switching diodes. These components share similar structural designs but differ primarily in their maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings. The BAV17 specifically addresses lower voltage applications within this family, offering a compact solution for general-purpose switching tasks.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Vishay series include variants with higher voltage ratings, such as BAV18, BAV19, BAV20, and BAV21, provided the system voltage does not exceed 25 V. Other manufacturers' DO-35 packaged silicon switching diodes may be considered if they meet the 25 V reverse voltage and 250 mA forward current specifications.
