Product details
Overview
BAS21PG from Nexperia is a dual isolated high-voltage switching diode in SOT353 (SC-88A) package, rated for 250 V reverse voltage, ≤50 ns reverse recovery time, and ≤2 pF capacitance per diode. It serves as a compact, AEC-Q101-qualified solution for high-speed clamping and polarity protection in automotive power management and industrial HV signal routing.
For engineers reviewing the BAS21PG datasheet, BAS21PG pinout, BAS21PG application, or BAS21PG equivalent, key selection criteria include verified dual-diode isolation, low trr under IF = 10 mA / IR = 10 mA test conditions, nA-level leakage at 200 V, thermal resistance to ambient (495 K/W), and compatibility with reflow-soldered TSSOP5 footprints.
Technical Context
The BAS21PG integrates two electrically isolated silicon switching diodes in a single 5-pin TSSOP5 package, with no internal connection between anodes or cathodes. Each diode operates independently with identical electrical limits: VR = 250 V, IF = 225 mA (single diode), and trr ≤ 50 ns under standardized 100 Ω load conditions.
Its AEC-Q101 qualification confirms robustness across −40 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range, supported by thermal resistance values of 495 K/W (junction-to-ambient, standard FR4 PCB) and 95 K/W (junction-to-solder point). The n.c. pin (Pin 2) provides mechanical stability without electrical function.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 250 V per diode - supports clamping in 200 V rail systems with 20 % margin |
| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | ≤50 ns - enables reliable operation up to ~7 MHz switching in flyback snubbers |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | ≤2 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - minimizes signal coupling in RF-coupled HV detection paths |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 25–100 nA at VR = 200 V, 25 °C - ensures low standby power loss in battery-backed circuits |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.25 V at IF = 200 mA, 25 °C - limits conduction loss to <250 mW per diode at rated current |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max - allows continuous operation in under-hood automotive environments |
| Package | SOT353 (TSSOP5) - 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm footprint compatible with automated SMT assembly |
Pinout & Package
SOT353 (TSSOP5) is a 5-lead, surface-mount plastic package with 0.65 mm lead pitch, 1.35 mm body width, and exposed cathode pad thermal path. Pin 2 is not connected (n.c.) and must remain unconnected on PCB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode Diode 1 (A1) | Input terminal for first independent diode; connects to HV source in clamp configuration |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Mechanical support pin only; no electrical connection; must be left floating |
| 3 | Anode Diode 2 (A2) | Input terminal for second independent diode; enables dual-rail or redundancy routing |
| 4 | Kathode Diode 2 (K2) | Return path for Diode 2; shares thermal pad with K1 for improved heat dissipation |
| 5 | Kathode Diode 1 (K1) | Return path for Diode 1; soldered to PCB thermal pad to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual isolated diodes | Complete electrical separation between A1/K1 and A2/K2 paths - enables independent HV routing without crosstalk |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics - includes HTOL, TC, and ESD testing per Rev G |
| Low trr (≤50 ns) | Measured under IF = 10 mA / IR = 10 mA / RL = 100 Ω - ensures minimal switching loss in 100 kHz–1 MHz converters |
| Ultra-low Cd (≤2 pF) | Specified at 0 V, 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity in HV analog front-ends and ADC reference protection |
| Small SMD footprint | 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm area - saves >40 % board space vs. SO-8 dual diodes while maintaining thermal performance |
Applications
| Automotive Reverse Polarity Protection | Industrial HV Signal Clamping |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V/24 V vehicle ECUs from battery misconnection during service or jump-start events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-diode OR-ing configuration with A1/K1 and A2/K2 each handling separate supply rails (e.g., main + backup). Use Value: Prevents >250 V transients from reaching downstream LDOs and microcontrollers without adding series resistance or delay. | Use Scenario: Limiting input voltage swing on op-amp inputs in PLC analog I/O modules operating near ±200 V field lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast clamping diode pair placed directly at connector interface to shunt overvoltage before signal conditioning stage. Use Value: 50 ns trr and 2 pF capacitance ensure sub-10 ns response to 1 kV/µs transients without distorting 100 kHz sensor signals. |
| High-Speed Flyback Snubber | Redundant HV Power Switching |
Use Scenario: Suppressing voltage spikes across MOSFET drains in 500 kHz isolated DC-DC converters for telecom power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-diode arrangement used in RCD snubber networks - one diode per transformer winding leg. Use Value: 225 mA forward rating and 250 V VR allow direct integration into 48 V output stages without derating or parallel devices. | Use Scenario: Providing fail-operational rectification in dual-redundant 48 V server power distribution units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two independent diodes routed to separate upstream sources, sharing common cathode return to load. Use Value: Isolation prevents single-point failure propagation; AEC-Q101 qualification ensures reliability in 10-year datacenter deployments. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAS21J,215 | Same die, TO-236AB (SOT23) 3-pin package - single diode, no n.c. pin, larger footprint (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm) | Lacks dual-diode integration; requires two devices for same functionality; higher board area cost | Select when legacy SOT23 layout exists or thermal demand exceeds SOT353 capability |
| PMEG2010CEH,115 | 20 V VR, 1 A IF Schottky - lower VF (0.45 V), but insufficient for >100 V clamping | Unsuitable for 200 V+ applications; used in low-VF 5–12 V rail protection only | Select only for low-voltage, high-current reverse protection where trr and VR are not limiting |
Compared with BAS21J and PMEG2010CEH, the BAS21PG uniquely delivers dual 250 V switching diodes in a space-constrained SOT353 package with AEC-Q101 validation - making it the sole option for automotive-grade, dual-rail HV clamping within <3 mm² PCB area.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current per diode in the BAS21PG?
The BAS21PG supports 225 mA continuous forward current per diode at Tj = 25 °C with single-diode loading on FR4 PCB. When both diodes operate simultaneously, the total device limit drops to 125 mA due to thermal coupling - confirmed in Table 5 (Limiting Values) of the official datasheet.
Is Pin 2 internally connected or should it be left unconnected on the PCB?
Pin 2 is explicitly designated "n.c." (not connected) in Table 2 (Pinning information) and carries no internal bond wire or silicon connection. It must remain unconnected on the PCB layout - neither soldered nor routed - to avoid mechanical stress or unintended parasitic coupling.
How does the BAS21PG's reverse recovery time compare under actual circuit conditions versus datasheet test conditions?
The datasheet specifies trr ≤ 50 ns under IF = 10 mA, IR = 10 mA, RL = 100 Ω, and Tj = 25 °C. In real circuits with lower RL or higher di/dt, trr may increase slightly; however, the 50 ns value remains valid for design margining in 100–500 kHz switch-mode applications per Nexperia's application note AN11115.
Can the BAS21PG replace the BAS21 in existing SOT353 layouts?
Yes - the BAS21PG is a direct replacement for the legacy BAS21 in SOT353 packages, sharing identical pinout, footprint, and electrical specs. The "PG" suffix denotes updated AEC-Q101 qualification and tighter process control, with no functional or mechanical changes affecting drop-in compatibility.
