BAV170QAZ

Overview

The Nexperia BAV170QAZ is a dual common cathode low-leakage diode encapsulated in a leadless ultra-small DFN1010D-3 (SOT1215) surface-mounted device plastic package. It features visible and solderable side pads for enhanced inspection. Key electrical parameters include a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 85 V, a maximum forward current of 320 mA per diode, and a typical reverse leakage current of 3 nA at 75 V. The device exhibits a low capacitance of 2 pF and a reverse recovery time of 0.8 µs.

Feature Summary

• High switching speed with a typical reverse recovery time of 0.8 µs
• Low leakage current capability, typically 3 nA at rated reverse voltage
• Ultra-small SMD plastic package with a low profile height of 0.37 mm
• Suitable for Automatic Optical Inspection due to visible and solderable side pads

Applications

• Low-leakage current applications
• General-purpose switching

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'Z' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm marking codes and packaging details. Ensure the procurement channel sources from authorized distributors to guarantee product authenticity and adherence to the latest revision history. Confirm that the non-automotive qualified status aligns with the intended application requirements before finalizing orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require an ultra-thin package with a height of only 0.37 mm. It is appropriate for designs needing low capacitance and fast switching speeds in a compact form factor. Verify that the thermal resistance characteristics meet the system's heat dissipation needs under the expected operating ambient temperature conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to Nexperia's range of dual common cathode low-leakage diodes. Unlike automotive-qualified variants, this specific model is not designed for automotive critical applications. It serves as a general-purpose solution for consumer and industrial electronics requiring small footprints and reliable switching performance in standard environments.

Replacement Considerations

Check for BAV170QA equivalents from other manufacturers ensuring identical pinout and package dimensions. Verify that substitute components match the 85 V reverse voltage rating and 0.37 mm height constraint. Confirm that replacement parts offer comparable leakage current and capacitance specifications to maintain circuit performance integrity.
