Product details
Overview
BAS20-QR from Nexperia is a high-voltage switching diode in SOT23 package, rated for 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1.25 V forward voltage at 200 mA, and 50 ns reverse recovery time (trr). It delivers low leakage (100 nA at 150 V, 25 °C), 5 pF capacitance, and AEC-Q101 qualification-designed for automotive-grade voltage clamping and reverse polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAS20-QR datasheet, BAS20-QR pinout, BAS20-QR application, or BAS20-QR equivalent, key selection criteria include verified VRRM margin above 150 V system rails, trr ≤ 50 ns for <1 MHz switching, thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W), and SOT23 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The BAS20-QR operates as a unidirectional silicon switching diode optimized for fast turn-off under high-voltage bias. Its junction structure enables stable reverse blocking up to 200 V while maintaining sub-50 ns recovery-critical for flyback snubbers and DC-DC converter freewheeling paths where dV/dt exceeds 100 V/ns.
Thermal performance is defined by Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W on FR4 and Rth(j-sp) = 330 K/W to solder point, supporting continuous 200 mA forward current only below 70 °C ambient per derating curve. Reverse leakage remains ≤100 µA at Tj = 150 °C, ensuring reliability in under-hood automotive environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - supports 150 V nominal bus designs with 33 % safety margin against transients |
| trr | 50 ns - enables clean commutation in 1–2 MHz switching converters without tail current loss |
| VF @ 200 mA | 1.25 V - limits conduction loss to ≤250 mW at full rated current |
| Cd | 5 pF @ 0 V - minimizes capacitive loading on high-impedance gate drive or signal nodes |
| IR @ 150 V, 25 °C | 100 nA - ensures negligible standby power drain in battery-backed clamping circuits |
| Ptot | 250 mW @ Tamb ≤ 25 °C - defines maximum dissipation before thermal derating applies |
| Rth(j-a) | 500 K/W - requires ≥10 mm² copper pour for sustained 200 mA operation at 70 °C ambient |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 plastic surface-mount package (3 terminals, 1.9 mm pitch, 2.9 × 1.3 × 1.0 mm body).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Forward current entry point; connects to higher-potential node in clamping or rectification path |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Internally isolated; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Forward current exit and reverse-blocking terminal; ties to ground or return rail in polarity protection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive under-hood use (−40 °C to +150 °C junction), including temperature cycling and HTRB |
| Low Cd (5 pF) | Reduces high-frequency signal distortion in ESD protection networks and RF detector inputs |
| High VRRM/VR ratio | 200 V/150 V rating enables robust surge handling beyond steady-state reverse bias requirements |
| Fast trr ≤ 50 ns | Minimizes reverse recovery charge (Qrr) in synchronous rectifier flyback topologies |
| SOT23 footprint | Enables automated placement and reflow on dense automotive control boards without lead-free compatibility issues |
Applications
| Automotive Reverse Polarity Protection | DC-DC Converter Snubber Diode |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MMBD2004LT1G | VRRM = 200 V, trr = 50 ns, but IF rating = 250 mA and Rth(j-a) = 400 K/W | Higher current capability suits 12 V starter motor interface; less thermally constrained on small pads | Select when board layout allows larger thermal relief or when 250 mA continuous rating is required |
| Diodes Incorporated BAV20W-7-F | VRRM = 150 V (not 200 V), trr = 50 ns, same SOT23 package and AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to 150 V systems; unsuitable for 200 V load-dump immunity without additional TVS coordination | Acceptable only if system VRRM requirement is capped at 150 V and cost sensitivity outweighs margin needs |
Compared with MMBD2004LT1G and BAV20W-7-F, the BAS20-QR uniquely balances 200 V VRRM, 50 ns trr, and AEC-Q101 compliance in a thermally defined 250 mW envelope-making it optimal for space-limited 48 V automotive subsystems requiring both surge margin and fast recovery.

FAQ
Is BAS20-QR suitable for 48 V mild-hybrid vehicle systems?
Yes. The 200 V VRRM rating exceeds ISO 16750-2 load-dump requirements (up to 110 V) and supports 48 V bus architectures with margin for transients. Its AEC-Q101 qualification, 150 °C junction rating, and SOT23 thermal profile make it appropriate for under-hood ECUs and DC-DC controllers in mild-hybrid platforms.
What is the maximum continuous forward current at 100 °C ambient?
Per Figure 5 in the datasheet, the maximum continuous forward current drops to approximately 120 mA at 100 °C ambient on standard FR4. This is derived from the 200 mA rating at 25 °C and linear derating slope of −1.6 mA/°C above 25 °C, confirmed by the published derating curve.
Can BAS20-QR replace BAS16 in existing designs?
No. While both are SOT23 switching diodes, BAS20-QR has higher VRRM (200 V vs. 85 V) and slower trr (50 ns vs. 4 ns), making it unsuitable for high-speed signal routing. It is intended for high-voltage, not high-frequency, applications-replacing BAS16 would risk excessive switching loss in >10 MHz circuits.
Does BAS20-QR require special PCB layout considerations for thermal performance?
Yes. With Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W, achieving full 200 mA rating requires ≥10 mm² of 2 oz copper connected to pin 1 (anode) and pin 3 (cathode). Avoid routing high-current traces over thermal reliefs, and ensure solder mask openings match the recommended reflow footprint in Figure 9 to maximize heat transfer to the board.
