BAV70W/MIF

Overview

The Nexperia BAV70W/MIF is a high-speed switching double diode housed in an SOT-323 (SC-70) surface-mount device plastic package. It features a reverse voltage of 100 V, forward current of 175 mA, and peak forward surge current of 4 A. Key electrical parameters include a maximum reverse leakage current of 500 nA, forward voltage of 1.25 V, and reverse recovery time of 4 ns. The device operates within a temperature range of -65 °C to +150 °C, with a power dissipation of 200 mW and maximum diode capacitance of 1.5 pF.

Feature Summary

• High switching speed with low capacitance for signal integrity
• Very small SMD plastic package for space-constrained designs
• Low leakage current and robust reverse voltage rating

Applications

• High-speed switching circuits
• General-purpose switching applications
• Automotive electronics requiring AEC-Q101 qualified components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix /MIF against official Nexperia documentation to confirm tape-and-reel specifications and packaging details. Ensure the component meets required automotive qualification standards if used in vehicle systems. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm parameter consistency before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when compact size and fast switching are critical. The SOT-323 package offers minimal footprint compared to larger alternatives. Verify that the 100 V reverse voltage and 175 mA forward current ratings align with circuit requirements. Consider thermal management capabilities given the 200 mW power dissipation limit in enclosed spaces.

Part Context

This part belongs to Nexperia's BAV70 series of high-speed switching diodes. The series is designed for applications requiring rapid response times and low parasitic capacitance. The BAV70W variant specifically utilizes the SOT-323 package, balancing performance with miniaturization needs in modern electronic assemblies.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct equivalents such as BAV70W,135 or BAV70W-QX from Nexperia. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter overlaps before substitution. Ensure any replacement maintains the same package type and thermal characteristics.
