BAV20WS-TP

Overview

The BAV20WS-TP is a single silicon rectifier diode manufactured by Micro Commercial Components. It features a SOD-323 surface-mount package with two terminals. The device supports a maximum DC reverse voltage of 150 V and an average forward current of 250 mA. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum reverse leakage current of 100 nA at 150 V, a typical forward voltage of 1.25 V at 200 mA, and a reverse recovery time of 50 ns. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to 150 °C.

Feature Summary

• High-speed switching capability with a 50 ns reverse recovery time
• Compact SOD-323 surface-mount packaging for space-constrained designs
• Low leakage current performance under high reverse bias conditions

Applications

• General-purpose signal rectification in electronic circuits
• High-speed switching applications requiring fast recovery times
• Clamping and protection circuits in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TP' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm it denotes the standard tape-and-reel packaging format. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements as specified in the datasheet. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability and authenticity before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small-footprint diode with moderate current handling and fast switching speeds is required. The 150 V reverse voltage rating makes it suitable for low-voltage signal processing. Compare its 50 ns reverse recovery time against slower general-purpose diodes if circuit speed is critical. Ensure the SOD-323 package fits the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the BAV20 series of high-speed switching diodes from Micro Commercial Components. It is designed for applications requiring rapid transition between conducting and non-conducting states. The SOD-323 package provides a compact solution compared to larger axial leads, facilitating automated assembly in modern surface-mount technology production lines.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other BAV20 series variants or equivalent high-speed diodes in SOD-323 packages from different manufacturers. Verify that replacement parts match the 150 V reverse voltage, 250 mA current rating, and 50 ns reverse recovery time specifications.
