BAV70W,135

Overview

The BAV70W,135 is a small signal switching diode manufactured by Nexperia. It features a dual configuration housed in an SOT-323 (SC-70) surface-mount package. Key electrical parameters include a peak reverse voltage of 100 V and a maximum forward current of 175 mA. The device exhibits a fast recovery time of 4 ns and a low forward voltage of 1.25 V. Reverse leakage current is limited to 500 nA, with a maximum surge current rating of 4 A. Operating temperatures range from -65 °C to +150 °C.

Feature Summary

• High-speed switching capability with minimal capacitance for signal integrity
• Compact SMD plastic package design for space-constrained applications
• Low leakage current characteristics for efficient power management

Applications

• High-speed switching circuits
• General-purpose switching applications
• Signal rectification in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Nexperia documentation to ensure correct packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest datasheet or environmental declaration. Cross-reference the component number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and traceability before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual-diode solution is required in a minimal footprint. The SOT-323 package offers significant size reduction compared to traditional leaded packages. Ensure the 100 V reverse voltage rating meets circuit requirements. The 4 ns recovery time makes it suitable for high-frequency operations where standard diodes would introduce excessive delay or distortion.

Part Context

This component belongs to Nexperia’s general-purpose switching diode portfolio. It serves as a compact alternative to larger discrete diodes, enabling denser PCB layouts. The dual configuration allows for bridge rectifier or logic gate implementations within a single package, reducing assembly complexity and board space requirements in modern electronic devices.

Replacement Considerations

BAV70S,135: Dual diode in TSSOP-6 package with 250 mA forward current. BAV70W/T3: Legacy NXP version of the same die in SOT-323.
