Product details
Overview
BAS21QAZ from Nexperia is a high-voltage switching diode in a DFN1010D-3 (SOT1215) ultra-small leadless package, rated for 200 V reverse voltage, 330 mA forward current, and 50 ns reverse recovery time. It serves as a fast-switching, low-leakage clamping or polarity protection device in automotive power management and industrial DC-DC converter circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAS21QAZ datasheet, BAS21QAZ pinout, BAS21QAZ application, or BAS21QAZ equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 2 pF capacitance at 1 MHz, 100 nA reverse leakage at 200 V, and compatibility with AOI inspection due to visible side pads.
Technical Context
This diode employs a planar silicon epitaxial construction optimized for high-speed switching under repetitive pulsed conditions, with junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance of 45 K/W enabling reliable operation in thermally constrained layouts. Its 0.37 mm package height and dual cathode terminals support high-density routing on compact PCBs.
The device operates across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient, maintains ≤100 nA IR up to 150 °C, and delivers stable VF of 1.25 V at 200 mA - critical for low-loss rectification in flyback snubbers and reverse-battery protection circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 200 V - supports input stage clamping in 12 V/24 V automotive systems without breakdown. |
| Forward Current (IF) | 330 mA continuous - sufficient for signal-level switching and auxiliary rail protection in ECUs. |
| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | 50 ns - enables clean commutation in >1 MHz DC-DC converters with minimal switching loss. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 100 nA at 200 V, 25 °C - ensures negligible standby current in always-on battery monitoring circuits. |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 2 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - minimizes signal distortion in RF detector and high-frequency sampling applications. |
| Package | DFN1010D-3 (SOT1215), 1.1 × 1.0 × 0.37 mm - allows placement adjacent to ICs in space-constrained ADAS modules. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Validated for automotive use - meets stress test requirements for temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in a leadless DFN1010D-3 (SOT1215) plastic package with visible and solderable side pads, 0.37 mm profile, and thermal-enhanced cathode pad layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Primary P-side connection; routed to positive supply or signal source in clamping configurations. |
| 2 | No Connection (n.c.) | Internally isolated; no electrical function - used for mechanical stability and thermal relief. |
| 3 & 4 | Cathode (K) | Dual-terminal N-side connection; provides low-inductance return path and enhanced thermal conduction via shared pad. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-speed switching | 50 ns trr enables use in 1–2 MHz SMPS topologies without efficiency penalty from minority-carrier storage. |
| Ultra-low leakage | 100 nA IR at 200 V ensures <1 µW standby dissipation in battery-backed sensor nodes over 10-year life. |
| AOI-compatible packaging | Visible side pads allow automated optical inspection of solder joints - eliminates X-ray requirement in Tier-1 production lines. |
| Thermal performance | 45 K/W Rth(j-sp) from junction to cathode solder point supports sustained 330 mA operation on 1 cm² copper pad. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood environments - qualified per temperature cycling, HTGB, and AC-H3TRB tests. |

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 NSR20F20HT1G | 200 V VR, 200 mA IF, 4 ns trr, SOD-923 package (1.0 × 0.6 × 0.4 mm) | Lower IF rating and smaller footprint limit use to signal-level clamping only - not suitable for 330 mA power paths. | Select when board space is tighter than 1.0 × 1.0 mm and peak current stays below 200 mA. |
| Vishay ES1J | 600 V VRRM, 1 A IF, 35 ns trr, DO-214AA package (4.3 × 2.6 × 2.2 mm) | Larger size and higher VRRM increase parasitic inductance - degrades performance in >500 kHz switching nodes. | Choose only when system requires >250 V standoff or >500 mA average current, accepting 4× larger area. |
Compared with NSR20F20HT1G and ES1J, BAS21QAZ uniquely balances 200 V/330 mA rating, 50 ns speed, and 1.1 × 1.0 mm footprint - making it optimal for AEC-Q101-compliant, space-constrained automotive power interfaces where thermal and AOI constraints apply.

FAQ
Is BAS21QAZ pin-compatible with BAS21,115?
No. BAS21QAZ uses a 4-terminal DFN1010D-3 (SOT1215) package with dual cathode pins and one no-connect terminal, whereas BAS21,115 is in a 3-pin SOT23 package with anode-cathode-anode configuration. Physical layout, thermal path, and soldering footprint differ fundamentally - direct replacement requires PCB redesign.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature during pulsed operation?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150 °C per IEC 60134. Under pulsed conditions (tp = 100 µs, δ ≤ 0.25), junction temperature rise is limited by Rth(j-a) = 205 K/W on a 1 cm² cathode pad; sustained operation above 130 °C requires derating per Figure 3 transient impedance curves.
Does BAS21QAZ support reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes. The DFN1010D-3 package is qualified for standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C, 30 s max above 217 °C). Figure 11 provides the recommended solder land pattern, and thermal performance data assumes use of the specified 1 cm² cathode copper area per Nexperia's mounting guidelines.
Can BAS21QAZ be used in place of a Zener diode for voltage clamping?
No. BAS21QAZ is a switching diode with no controlled reverse breakdown characteristic. Its 250 V VRRM is a non-repetitive peak rating - it lacks the sharp, stable knee voltage of a Zener. For clamping, it functions only as a forward-biased or reverse-blocking element, not as a precision shunt regulator.
