BAV170,215

Overview

The Nexperia BAV170,215 is an epitaxial, medium-speed switching double diode housed in a small SOT23 plastic surface-mount package. The device features a common cathode configuration with two individual diodes sharing a single cathode terminal. It is designed for low-leakage current applications in surface-mounted circuits. Key electrical parameters include a maximum continuous reverse voltage of 75 V and a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 85 V. The typical reverse leakage current is 3 nA at 75 V, while the forward voltage reaches up to 1.25 V at 150 mA. The typical switching time is 0.8 µs, and the total power dissipation is rated at 250 mW.

Feature Summary

• Low leakage current performance suitable for sensitive surface-mounted circuits
• Medium-speed switching capability with typical recovery time of 0.8 µs
• Common cathode dual diode configuration in a compact SOT23 package

Applications

• Low-leakage current applications in surface mounted circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required packaging format before procurement. Confirm that the component version aligns with non-automotive qualification requirements, as this product is not automotive qualified. Ensure design specifications account for the thermal resistance values provided in the datasheet when mounting on FR4 printed-circuit boards.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a dual diode solution with minimal reverse leakage current. The SOT23 package offers space efficiency for automatic insertion processes. Consider the 75 V continuous reverse voltage limit when designing for high-voltage environments. Verify that the 250 mW power dissipation rating meets the thermal management requirements of the target application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Nexperia BAV170 series of low-leakage double diodes. It utilizes an epitaxial silicon construction within a standard SOT23 plastic surface-mount package. The device is distinct from automotive-qualified variants, which carry different suffixes or designations. It serves as a general-purpose switching element for consumer and industrial electronics where low capacitance and leakage are prioritized.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Nexperia documentation for verified substitute part numbers. Cross-referencing requires matching the SOT23 package, common cathode configuration, and electrical limits such as the 75 V reverse voltage and 250 mW power dissipation ratings.
