RN142VTE-17

RF Diode Overview

The RN142VTE-17 is a single PIN diode manufactured by ROHM Semiconductor, designed for high-frequency switching applications. It utilizes silicon epitaxial planar technology and is housed in an SOD-323FL-2 surface-mount package. Key electrical specifications include a maximum reverse voltage of 60 V and a forward current rating of 100 mA. The device exhibits a maximum junction temperature of +150°C and a low maximum diode capacitance of 450 fF at 1 MHz. Additional parameters feature a maximum series resistance of 3 Ohms, a forward voltage of 1 V, and a reverse current of 100 nA.

RF Diode Feature Summary

• Small mold type construction suitable for space-constrained designs
• Low RF characteristics optimized for high-frequency operation
• High reliability silicon epitaxial planar structure

RF Diode Applications

• High-frequency switching circuits
• Automatic Gain Control (AGC) systems
• Antenna switches and attenuators

RF Diode Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'TE-17' against official ROHM documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging quantities and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the component meets automotive qualification requirements if intended for vehicle-mounted equipment, as standard grades may not be suitable for such environments. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm pinout compatibility with existing PCB layouts.

RF Diode Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact SMD PIN diode with 60V reverse voltage capability is required. The SOD-323FL-2 package offers a small footprint compared to larger alternatives. Consider the 100 mA forward current limit and 450 fF capacitance for signal integrity in RF paths. Verify thermal management needs given the +150°C maximum junction temperature rating.

RF Diode Part Context

This part belongs to the RN142V family of PIN diodes from ROHM Semiconductor. Variants within this family share similar electrical characteristics but differ in packaging, such as the RN142VM or RN142SM, which utilize different case codes like EMD2 or SC-90A. The TE-17 suffix typically denotes specific reel packaging configurations used in automated assembly processes.

RF Diode Replacement Considerations

The RN142SMT2R is listed as a recommended replacement with the same pinout and package dimensions. Other potential substitutes include parts from the RN142 series that maintain identical 60V reverse voltage and 100mA forward current ratings while fitting the SOD-323FL-2 form factor.
