Product details
Overview
BAS21Q-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q101 qualified surface-mount fast switching diode in SOT23 package, rated for 250 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 400 mA forward continuous current, and 50 ns reverse recovery time. It delivers high conductance and low capacitance (5.0 pF at 0 V) for signal routing and protection in automotive power management and sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAS21Q-13-F datasheet, BAS21Q-13-F pinout, BAS21Q-13-F application, or BAS21Q-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200 V DC blocking voltage, 100 nA reverse leakage at +25°C, thermal resistance of 500 °C/W, and qualification for automotive-grade change control and PPAP compliance.
Technical Context
This diode operates as a unidirectional silicon switching element with a planar epitaxial construction optimized for fast transient response. Its 50 ns reverse recovery time and 5.0 pF junction capacitance support high-frequency signal clamping and logic-level switching up to several MHz.
The device is characterized under standard FR-4 board conditions (2 oz copper, 1-inch² pad), with derated power dissipation above +25°C per the published curve. Its AEC-Q101 qualification confirms performance across −55°C to +150°C operating range with IATF 16949 manufacturing traceability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 250 V - Maximum non-repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating margin in flyback or clamp circuits. |
| VRWM | 200 V - Continuous DC blocking capability; sets upper limit for steady-state reverse bias in power supply rails. |
| IF | 400 mA - Max continuous forward current at ambient temperature; supports moderate-current signal path switching. |
| trr | 50 ns - Measured with 30 mA forward/reverse current and 0.1×IR tail current; enables use in >1 MHz digital or PWM edge detection. |
| CT | 5.0 pF @ 0 V - Junction capacitance at zero bias; ensures minimal loading on high-speed data lines or RF detector inputs. |
| IR | 100 nA @ +25°C - Reverse leakage at rated VR; critical for low-power sensor biasing and precision reference isolation. |
| PD | 250 mW - Power dissipation on standard FR-4 layout; requires thermal derating above +25°C per published curve. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAS21-13-F | Same electrical specs but not AEC-Q101 qualified; no PPAP or automotive change control. | Restricted to commercial/industrial use; unsuitable for automotive OEM BOMs requiring qualification evidence. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance requirements and thermal/environmental stress is moderate. |
| 1N4148W-7-F | Higher 4.0 pF capacitance, slower 4 ns typical trr (but not guaranteed), 100 V VRRM, no AEC-Q101 rating. | Limited to low-voltage (<100 V) general-purpose switching; lacks automotive traceability and high-voltage margin. | Choose only for non-automotive, low-voltage, cost-driven designs where 250 V standoff is unnecessary. |
Compared with BAS21-13-F and 1N4148W-7-F, the BAS21Q-13-F uniquely combines automotive qualification, 250 V standoff, and 50 ns recovery-making it the sole option for AEC-compliant high-voltage signal switching in harsh environments.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for BAS21Q-13-F?
The BAS21Q-13-F is rated for operation from −55°C to +150°C junction temperature. Its thermal resistance is 500 °C/W on standard FR-4 layout, so sustained 400 mA forward current requires careful thermal design above +25°C ambient to stay within this limit.
Is BAS21Q-13-F pin-compatible with BAS21-13-F?
Yes-both share identical SOT23 package and pinout (Anode–Cathode–NC). Mechanical and soldering compatibility is maintained, but BAS21Q-13-F adds AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP capability, and automotive-specific process controls not present in the commercial-grade BAS21-13-F.
Does BAS21Q-13-F require special handling for moisture sensitivity?
No-BAS21Q-13-F has J-STD-020 Moisture Sensitivity Level 1, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30°C/85% RH without baking prior to reflow. No floor life limitation or dry pack requirement applies.
How does the 50 ns reverse recovery time impact circuit performance?
The guaranteed 50 ns trr ensures clean turn-off in high-frequency switching applications such as PWM-controlled LED drivers or digital signal clamping. It prevents charge storage-induced delay or shoot-through in bridge configurations and maintains signal fidelity up to ~2 MHz.
