BAV70W/ZLX

Overview

The BAV70W/ZLX is a high-speed switching dual diode manufactured by Nexperia, housed in the SOT-323 (SC-70) surface-mount plastic package. It features a reverse voltage rating of up to 100 V and a forward current capability of 175 mA. The device exhibits a maximum reverse recovery time of 4 ns and a low junction capacitance of 1.5 pF. Operating temperatures range from -65 °C to +150 °C with a power dissipation of 200 mW.

Feature Summary

• High-speed switching performance with minimal reverse recovery delay
• Ultra-low junction capacitance for signal integrity
• Compact SOT-323 surface-mount footprint

Applications

• High-speed signal switching circuits
• General-purpose rectification in compact designs
• Protection against transient voltages in sensitive electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ZLX against official Nexperia documentation to confirm tape-and-reel specifications and regional availability. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component when space constraints require an SC-70 package alongside fast switching speeds. The low capacitance makes it suitable for high-frequency applications where signal distortion must be minimized compared to standard general-purpose diodes.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BAV70W series of small-signal switching diodes. It shares core electrical characteristics with other variants in the family but differs in packaging or reel configuration based on its specific ordering code.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include BAV70W/SN/8X and BAV70W,135. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal ratings when replacing with these equivalents.
