BAV200-GS18

Single Diodes Overview

The BAV200-GS18 is a silicon epitaxial planar switching diode from Vishay Semiconductors, housed in the QuadroMELF (SOD-80) surface-mount package. It features a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 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 reverse current of 100 nA at 50 V. Key electrical parameters include a breakdown voltage of 60 V, a differential forward resistance of 5 Ω at 10 mA, and a reverse recovery time of 50 ns. It operates within a junction temperature range up to 175 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Fast switching logic interfaces

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against the manufacturer's documentation to confirm packaging options. The GS18 designation indicates tape and reel packaging containing 10,000 units per box on a 13-inch reel. Ensure that the component meets all required environmental compliance standards before final integration into the design.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-diode configuration with a 60 V reverse voltage rating is required. Consider the SOD-80 package dimensions for board space constraints. Evaluate the thermal resistance of 500 K/W and the 500 mW power dissipation limit to ensure adequate heat management under continuous operating conditions.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to the BAV20x series of small-signal switching diodes manufactured by Vishay General Semiconductor - Diodes Division. The series includes variants with different reverse voltage ratings, such as the BAV201, BAV202, and BAV203. All members share the same physical package and similar electrical characteristics, differentiated primarily by their breakdown voltage capabilities.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same Vishay family include BAV201-GS18, BAV202-GS18, and BAV203-GS18. These alternatives offer higher reverse voltage ratings while maintaining identical packaging and current handling specifications.
