BAV99W/ZLX

Overview

The BAV99W/ZLX is a dual small-signal switching diode array manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. It features two series-connected standard diodes housed in an SC-70 (SOT-323) surface-mount package. Key electrical parameters include a peak reverse voltage of 100 V, a maximum forward current of 150 mA DC, and a maximum surge current of 4 A. The device exhibits a fast recovery time of 4 ns and a typical forward voltage of 1.25 V at rated current. Reverse leakage current is specified at 500 nA. The component operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.

Feature Summary

• Dual configuration with internal series connection for compact circuit design
• High-speed switching capability with 4 ns recovery time
• Robust thermal performance supporting operation up to 150°C

Applications

• General-purpose signal switching circuits
• Protection diodes in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix ZLX against official Nexperia documentation to confirm tape-and-reel specifications and packaging details. Ensure the source document explicitly links this suffix to the SOT-323 package and electrical characteristics provided. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability status and lead times prior to ordering.

Selection Notes

Select the BAV99W/ZLX when a dual-diode solution with series configuration is required in a minimal footprint. The SC-70 package suits space-constrained designs. Verify that the 100 V reverse voltage and 150 mA forward current ratings align with the target application's electrical demands. Consider the 4 ns recovery speed for high-frequency switching requirements.
