Product details
Overview
BAS20-HE3_A-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a high-voltage silicon epitaxial planar switching diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 150 V continuous reverse voltage (VR), 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), and 50 ns reverse recovery time (trr). It delivers 350 mA DC forward current with 1.25 V forward voltage at 200 mA, and supports automotive-grade reliability via AEC-Q101 qualification. It is used in flyback snubber networks, polarity protection, and high-speed signal routing in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the BAS20-HE3_A-08 datasheet, BAS20-HE3_A-08 pinout, BAS20-HE3_A-08 application, or BAS20-HE3_A-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150 V VR rating, AEC-Q101 qualification status, SOT-23 footprint compatibility, 50 ns trr performance, and leakage current of ≤100 nA at 150 V reverse bias.
Technical Context
The BAS20-HE3_A-08 is a single-anode/cathode discrete switching diode optimized for high-voltage, fast-recovery operation in compact layouts. Its 5 pF junction capacitance at 0 V and 5 Ω dynamic forward resistance at 10 mA support low-capacitance signal switching and minimal conduction loss in high-frequency rectification.
Designed for automatic insertion and reflow soldering per J-STD-020 MSL 1, it features UL 94 V-0 molding compound and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C. Thermal resistance junction-to-ambient is 420 K/W on FR-4, enabling stable performance in thermally constrained PCB designs without heatsinking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (Continuous Reverse Voltage) | 150 V - supports input-stage clamping in 120 VAC-derived supplies without breakdown |
| VRRM (Repetitive Peak Reverse Voltage) | 200 V - withstands transient overvoltage spikes in offline SMPS primary-side circuits |
| trr (Reverse Recovery Time) | 50 ns - enables efficient operation up to ~2 MHz switching frequencies in flyback snubbers |
| IF (DC Forward Current) | 350 mA - sufficient for low-power logic-level signal routing and bias network isolation |
| IR (Leakage Current @ VR) | ≤100 nA @ 150 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems |
| CD (Junction Capacitance) | 5 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - reduces capacitive loading in high-impedance signal path applications |
| RthJA (Junction-to-Ambient) | 420 K/W on FR-4 - allows 300 mW dissipation at ≤75 °C ambient without thermal derating |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 plastic surface-mount package (9.2 mg weight, UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level). Compatible with standard 8 mm tape carrier for 7″ reel (3K units) and automated pick-and-place equipment.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Anode) | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node in reverse-biased protection or cathode-driven switching |
| 2 (Cathode) | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Connected to higher-potential rail in polarity protection; carries full reverse voltage when off |
| 3 (Collector / NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected; electrically isolated from die - must not be tied to any net |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAS20-E3-08 | Same electrical specs, but commercial grade (non-AEC-Q101 qualified); identical SOT-23 pinout and marking A9G | Not suitable for automotive environments requiring AEC-Q101; acceptable for industrial control and consumer power supplies | Select BAS20-E3-08 only if AEC-Q101 qualification is not required and cost optimization is prioritized |
| MMBD1202-7-F | 150 V VR, 50 ns trr, but 100 nA IR @ 100 V (vs. 100 nA @ 150 V for BAS20-HE3_A-08); same SOT-23 package | Lower leakage at lower voltages; slightly reduced thermal robustness (RthJA = 450 K/W vs. 420 K/W) | Prefer BAS20-HE3_A-08 where full 150 V leakage spec and tighter thermal resistance are critical |
Compared with BAS20-E3-08 and MMBD1202-7-F, the BAS20-HE3_A-08 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, verified 100 nA leakage at full 150 V VR, and lowest RthJA among SOT-23 150 V switching diodes - making it optimal for thermally constrained automotive and industrial designs demanding long-term reliability.

FAQ
What is the AEC-Q101 qualification status of the BAS20-HE3_A-08?
The BAS20-HE3_A-08 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, as confirmed in Vishay's official datasheet revision 1.2 (May 2024), Part Table, and ordering code definition. This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity bias, mechanical shock, and high-temperature operating life - validating its suitability for automotive under-hood and chassis applications. The "HE3_A" suffix denotes AEC-Q101 compliance, distinguishing it from the commercial-grade BAS20-E3-08.
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage rating for BAS20-HE3_A-08?
The BAS20-HE3_A-08 has a continuous reverse voltage (VR) rating of 150 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the Vishay datasheet (Document Number: 86370). This rating applies at Tamb = 25 °C and defines the maximum DC or RMS reverse voltage the device can sustain continuously without breakdown. Derating is required above 25 °C per the typical power dissipation curve in Figure 2.
Does BAS20-HE3_A-08 have a defined pinout for SOT-23, and what is the function of each terminal?
Yes, the BAS20-HE3_A-08 uses the standard SOT-23 pinout: Pin 1 is Anode, Pin 2 is Cathode, and Pin 3 is internally unconnected (NC). This configuration is confirmed in Vishay's package drawing (S8-V-3929.01-009) and functional diagrams. Pin 3 must remain floating - connecting it risks internal shorting or parametric shift. The anode-cathode orientation matches industry-standard SOT-23 diode marking (A9G).
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of BAS20-HE3_A-08, and under what test conditions is it measured?
The reverse recovery time (trr) of the BAS20-HE3_A-08 is 50 ns, measured under the conditions IF = IR = 30 mA, RL = 100 Ω, and iR = 3 mA, per the Electrical Characteristics table in the Vishay datasheet. This value reflects the time required for the diode to transition from forward conduction to full reverse blocking, directly impacting switching loss and EMI in high-frequency power circuits.
Is BAS20-HE3_A-08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the BAS20-HE3_A-08 is fully compatible with lead-free reflow soldering. Its SOT-23 package is rated for peak temperatures up to 260 °C per J-STD-020, and it carries RoHS-compliant material categorization per Vishay document 99912. The device meets MSL 1 (Moisture Sensitivity Level 1), meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60 % RH without baking prior to assembly.
