BAW101-7

Diode Arrays Overview

The BAW101-7 is a dual surface mount switching diode manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, housed in an SOT143 package. It features two electrically isolated elements with a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 300 V per diode and 600 V in series connection. The device supports a forward current of 250 mA (single loaded) or 140 mA (double loaded), with a maximum reverse recovery time of 50 ns. Operating temperature ranges from -65°C to +150°C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Fast switching speed with low reverse recovery time
• High reverse breakdown voltage capability
• Two electrically isolated elements within a single compact package

Diode Arrays Applications

• General purpose high voltage switching
• Automotive electronics applications
• Communication equipment circuits

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix '-7' corresponds to the tape and reel packaging configuration containing 3000 units per reel. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance standards and is halogen-free as specified in the manufacturer's documentation. Ensure the SOT143 footprint matches the recommended pad layout provided in the datasheet for proper surface mount assembly.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when dual isolated switching functionality is required in a minimal footprint. The SOT143 case provides efficient thermal dissipation suitable for moderate power levels. Consider the 300V rating for blocking voltages and the 50ns recovery time for high-speed signal processing requirements in compact designs.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the family of dual surface mount switching diodes designed for space-constrained applications. It utilizes planar technology encapsulated in molded plastic with UL flammability classification 94V-0. The device is lead-free with matte tin finish plating over an alloy 42 leadframe, ensuring compatibility with standard surface mount manufacturing processes.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with Nexperia BAW101S-Q for equivalent high-voltage double diode specifications in SOT363-3 packages. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter alignment before substitution. Check for any mechanical dimension differences between SOT143 and alternative packages.
