Product details
Overview
BAS21GW from Nexperia is a high-voltage switching diode in SOD123 package, rated for 200 V reverse voltage, 225 mA forward current, and 50 ns reverse recovery time. It serves as a fast, low-leakage rectifier in automotive and industrial power supply rails, DC-DC converter flyback paths, and ESD-protected signal line clamping.
For engineers reviewing the BAS21GW datasheet, BAS21GW pinout, BAS21GW application, or BAS21GW equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance values, and real-world switching performance metrics under pulsed and steady-state conditions.
Technical Context
The BAS21GW is a silicon planar epitaxial switching diode optimized for high-speed turn-off with controlled minority-carrier lifetime. Its trr ≤ 50 ns is measured under standardized IF = 10 mA / IR = 10 mA / RL = 100 Ω conditions at Tj = 25 °C.
It operates across –55 °C to +150 °C ambient, with junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 330 K/W on standard FR4 PCB and 44 K/W to solder point - enabling reliable use in thermally constrained automotive modules and industrial control boards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 200 V - supports input rectification in 120/230 VAC-derived 170/325 VDC bus applications |
| Forward Current (IF) | 225 mA continuous - sufficient for auxiliary bias supplies and low-power logic-level switching |
| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | ≤ 50 ns - enables operation up to ~10 MHz switching frequency in flyback snubbers and charge-pump circuits |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤ 100 nA at VR = 200 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on monitoring circuits |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | ≤ 2 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity in RF-coupled detection and high-frequency sampling paths |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max - allows deployment in engine control units and under-hood electronics without derating |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in SOD123 surface-mount plastic package (3.75 × 2.55 × 1.3 mm), with cathode marked by band and anode unmarked.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to higher-potential node during reverse bias; carries full forward current return path |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to lower-potential node during conduction; defines polarity for unidirectional current flow |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High switching speed | trr ≤ 50 ns enables efficient operation in >5 MHz DC-DC converters without excessive switching loss |
| Low leakage current | IR ≤ 100 nA at 200 V ensures <1 µW standby dissipation in battery-backed sensor nodes |
| High reverse voltage rating | VR = 200 V supports direct interface with 170 VDC mains-derived rails without external voltage dividers |
| Small SMD footprint | SOD123 package occupies only 9.6 mm² PCB area - ideal for space-constrained automotive ECUs |

Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Industrial AC-DC Auxiliary Supply |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Clamping transient spikes on 12 V battery rail during load-dump events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery diode in TVS-assisted overvoltage protection network. Use Value: 50 ns trr limits energy dissipation during 10–100 ns transients, reducing thermal stress on downstream regulators. |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in isolated flyback converter powering microcontroller peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side switching diode handling 200 mA at 100 kHz switching frequency. Use Value: 2 pF capacitance minimizes ringing and EMI generation at switch-node transitions. |
| Smart Meter Power Management | Medical Sensor Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Reverse-polarity protection for lithium-thionyl chloride primary cell backup supply. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series blocking diode preventing battery discharge into main power domain. Use Value: 100 nA IR ensures <1 µAh/year leakage - extending 10-year meter battery life by >0.5%. |
Use Scenario: ESD protection clamp on analog front-end inputs exposed to human contact. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance shunt diode limiting transient voltage to ADC input pins. Use Value: 2 pF Cd avoids signal attenuation above 100 MHz, preserving pulse fidelity in biopotential sensing. |
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 MMBD2102AL | Same SOD123 package; VR = 200 V, trr = 50 ns, but IR = 500 nA (5× higher) | Higher leakage reduces suitability in ultra-low-power battery systems | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs leakage requirements and AEC-Q101 is not mandatory |
| Vishay 1N4148WS | SOD-323 package; VR = 100 V (half), trr = 4 ns (faster), but not AEC-Q101 qualified | Insufficient reverse voltage for 170 VDC bus applications; limited to low-voltage logic-level switching | Prefer for high-frequency digital signal routing where VR < 100 V and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
Compared with MMBD2102AL and 1N4148WS, the BAS21GW uniquely balances 200 V rating, 50 ns speed, sub-100 nA leakage, and AEC-Q101 compliance - making it the only choice for automotive-grade, high-voltage, low-leakage switching in thermally constrained SMD layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) for BAS21GW?
The BAS21GW has a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 250 V per IEC 60134 absolute maximum ratings. This exceeds its rated reverse voltage (VR) of 200 V and provides margin for transient overvoltage events in automotive and industrial environments without device failure.
Is BAS21GW suitable for reflow soldering, and what profile is recommended?
Yes, BAS21GW is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020. The recommended peak temperature is 260 °C for ≤ 30 seconds, with ramp-up rate ≤ 3 °C/s. Its SOD123 package uses standard IPC-7351B footprint dimensions (2.36 mm × 1.11 mm pad size) for reliable thermal and mechanical attachment.
How does BAS21GW perform at elevated junction temperatures?
At Tj = 150 °C, BAS21GW maintains IR ≤ 100 µA (vs. 100 nA at 25 °C), and VF increases to ~1.1 V at IF = 200 mA. Its 150 °C max junction temperature and 44 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance enable sustained operation in under-hood automotive modules without active cooling.
Can BAS21GW replace 1N4148 in high-voltage applications?
No - the 1N4148 has VR = 100 V and VRRM = 100 V, making it unsuitable for 200 V applications. BAS21GW provides double the reverse voltage rating while maintaining comparable trr (50 ns vs. 4 ns), and adds AEC-Q101 qualification and lower leakage - critical for automotive and industrial reliability.
