BAV201-GS08

Single Diodes Overview

The BAV201-GS08 is a single 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 120 V and a maximum forward continuous current of 250 mA. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage of 1 V at 100 mA and a low differential capacitance of 1.5 pF at 0 V reverse bias. Thermal resistance to ambient air is 500 K/W on a standard PC board, with an operating junction temperature range up to +175 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes silicon epitaxial planar technology for high-voltage switching applications
• Features a glass-passivated junction structure within the SOD-80 case
• Provides low differential capacitance suitable for high-frequency signal processing

Single Diodes Applications

• General-purpose switching circuits
• High-voltage signal rectification
• Fast switching logic interfaces

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging options. GS08 indicates tape and reel packaging containing 2,500 units per 7-inch reel. Confirm that the component meets required material categorization standards by referencing the manufacturer's compliance definitions before finalizing procurement specifications.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a single diode configuration with a 120 V reverse voltage rating is required. The SOD-80 package offers a compact footprint for surface-mount assembly. Ensure the application operates within the specified thermal limits, as the thermal resistance to ambient air is relatively high compared to leaded packages.

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 BAV200 (60 V), BAV202 (200 V), and BAV203 (250 V). All members share identical physical dimensions and electrical characteristics except for their breakdown voltage capabilities.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include BAV200-GS08, BAV202-GS08, and BAV203-GS08. These parts share the same SOD-80 package and general electrical parameters but differ in maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage ratings.
