BAV70W/MIX

Overview

The BAV70W is a high-speed switching double diode manufactured by Nexperia, encapsulated in the SOT-323 (SC-70) surface-mount device plastic package. It features a reverse voltage rating of up to 100 V and a maximum forward current of 175 mA. The component exhibits a peak reverse voltage of 100 V, a maximum surge current of 4 A, and a typical forward voltage of 1.25 V at specified conditions. Its electrical characteristics include a reverse leakage current of 500 nA and a recovery time of 4 ns. The operating temperature range spans from -65 C to +150 C.

Feature Summary

• High switching speed with a recovery time of 4 ns
• Low capacitance of 1.5 pF for signal integrity
• Very small SMD plastic package for space efficiency

Applications

• High-speed switching circuits
• General-purpose switching applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official Nexperia documentation, as 'MIX' may indicate specific tape-and-reel or cut-tape variations not explicitly detailed in standard datasheets. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times through authorized distributors. Ensure the ordering code matches the required packaging format for your assembly line.

Selection Notes

Select this component when compact size and fast switching are critical. The SOT-323 package suits dense PCB layouts. Verify that the 100 V reverse voltage and 175 mA forward current meet circuit requirements. Consider the low capacitance for high-frequency signal paths where minimal distortion is necessary.

Part Context

This part belongs to Nexperia's general-purpose switching diode portfolio. It is designed for applications requiring reliable performance in small form factors. The dual diode configuration allows for versatile circuit designs within limited board space.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes with identical pinouts and electrical ratings. Verify compatibility with existing footprints and thermal management strategies before substitution.
