Product details
Overview
BAS21QCZ from Nexperia is a high-voltage switching diode in a DFN1412D-3 (SOT8009) leadless SMD package, rated for 250 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 250 mA forward current, and 50 ns reverse recovery time. It serves as a fast, low-leakage clamping and polarity protection device in automotive power management and industrial DC-DC converter front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the BAS21QCZ datasheet, BAS21QCZ pinout, BAS21QCZ application, or BAS21QCZ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, side-wettable flank packaging details, thermal resistance data, and real-world switching use cases - all critical for high-reliability board-level design and AOI-compatible layout.
Technical Context
The BAS21QCZ is a silicon planar epitaxial switching diode optimized for high-speed turn-off with controlled minority-carrier lifetime. Its trr ≤ 50 ns is achieved under defined test conditions (IF = IR = 30 mA, RL = 100 Ω, IR(meas) = 3 mA), enabling clean commutation in flyback snubbers and active clamp circuits.
It operates across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, supports 200 V DC reverse blocking, and exhibits only 100 nA leakage at VR = 200 V and Tj = 25 °C - making it suitable for precision voltage clamping where leakage-induced offset must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 250 V - Maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage; defines safe DC/AC blocking capability in transient suppression and clamp networks. |
| IF | 250 mA - Continuous forward current rating on FR4 PCB with standard footprint; sets maximum steady-state conduction capacity. |
| trr | 50 ns - Reverse recovery time under specified test conditions; determines minimum switching frequency limit and switching loss in hard-switched topologies. |
| IR @ VR=200 V | 100 nA - Reverse leakage at rated voltage and 25 °C; ensures minimal standby power loss in high-impedance bias or sensing paths. |
| Cd @ VR=0 V | 5 pF - Junction capacitance at zero bias and 1 MHz; impacts high-frequency signal integrity and EMI filter response in RF-coupled circuits. |
| Rth(j-a) | 285 K/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR4; informs derating curves and heatsinking requirements for sustained operation. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Certified for automotive discrete semiconductor stress testing; validates reliability for under-hood and ADAS power subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
DFN1412D-3 (SOT8009) is an ultra-thin, leadless plastic package measuring 1.4 mm × 1.2 mm × 0.48 mm with side-wettable flanks for automated optical inspection of solder joints. Its 0.8 mm pitch and 0.5 mm max height support high-density routing and low-profile assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | Forward current entry point; connects to positive rail or switch node in clamping configurations. |
| 2 | Not Connected | Internally isolated terminal; no electrical function - must remain unconnected in PCB layout. |
| 3 | Cathode | Forward current exit and reverse voltage reference; ties to ground or return path in polarity protection schemes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-speed switching | trr ≤ 50 ns enables operation up to ~2 MHz in non-resonant converters without excessive switching loss. |
| Low leakage current | IR ≤ 100 nA at 200 V ensures <1 µW standby dissipation in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems. |
| Side-wettable flanks | Protrusion ≤ 0.02 mm allows reliable AOI detection of solder joint quality on bottom-side terminals. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling per AEC standard. |
| Ultra-low profile | 0.48 mm body height supports mechanical clearance in stacked modules and space-constrained infotainment PCBs. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Clamping | Industrial DC-DC Input Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Suppressing load-dump transients (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) on 12 V vehicle power rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-clamping diode placed between battery input and downstream regulator ICs. Use Value: 250 V VRRM withstands 120 V spikes; 50 ns trr limits energy dissipation during sub-microsecond surges. |
Use Scenario: Reverse polarity protection at the input stage of 24 V industrial PLC power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-connected cathode-to-load diode preventing damage during incorrect connector mating. Use Value: 100 nA IR minimizes quiescent current draw; AEC-Q101 qualification ensures field longevity in harsh environments. |
| High-Speed Signal Demodulation | LED Driver Flyback Snubber |
|
Use Scenario: Envelope detection in 1–10 MHz RF receiver front-ends for wireless sensor nodes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance (5 pF) switching diode rectifying AM-modulated carrier signals. Use Value: Minimal Cd preserves signal bandwidth; low VF (1.25 V @ 200 mA) maintains detection sensitivity. |
Use Scenario: Clamp diode across primary-side MOSFET in isolated flyback LED drivers for street lighting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Absorbs leakage inductance energy during MOSFET turn-off to limit voltage overshoot. Use Value: 50 ns trr ensures full energy transfer before next switching cycle; 250 mA IF handles peak clamp currents. |
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 NSVBAV21HT1G | Same VRRM (250 V), but trr = 60 ns and IR = 500 nA @ 200 V - higher leakage and slower recovery. | Less suitable for low-leakage clamping; acceptable in cost-sensitive non-automotive designs. | Select when AEC-Q101 is not required and 10 ns trr margin is acceptable. |
| Diodes Incorporated BAV21W-7-F | SO-363 package (larger, 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm); same VRRM and trr, but Rth(j-a) = 320 K/W - worse thermal performance. | Requires more PCB area and offers lower power density; unsuitable for AOI-dependent production lines. | Choose only if legacy SO-363 footprint compatibility is mandatory and thermal headroom exists. |
Compared with NSVBAV21HT1G and BAV21W-7-F, the BAS21QCZ delivers superior leakage control, faster switching, better thermal resistance, and AEC-Q101 validation - making it the preferred choice for automotive and high-density industrial power stages where reliability and miniaturization are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation of the BAS21QCZ?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150 °C, and the device is rated for continuous operation up to this limit when thermal design respects the specified Rth(j-a) = 285 K/W on standard FR4. Derating is required above Tamb = 25 °C, with full current capability maintained only below 75 °C ambient under typical PCB conditions.
Is the NC pin (Pin 2) electrically isolated or internally tied to another node?
Pin 2 is explicitly designated "not connected" in the official Nexperia datasheet and is fully electrically isolated - no internal bond wire or die connection exists. It must remain unconnected on the PCB; routing traces or thermal pads to this terminal may cause unintended coupling or solder bridging.
How does the side-wettable flank feature improve manufacturing yield?
The side-wettable flank (SWF) provides a visible solder meniscus along the vertical edge of the DFN1412D-3 package, enabling automated optical inspection systems to verify solder joint formation, wetting quality, and coplanarity - reducing false negatives in reflow defect detection and improving first-pass yield in high-volume automotive PCB assembly.
Can the BAS21QCZ replace the older BAS21 in existing designs?
No - the BAS21QCZ uses a DFN1412D-3 (SOT8009) package with side-wettable flanks and a 3-terminal configuration (including NC), whereas the legacy BAS21 is in SOT23 with 3 functional pins and no NC. Footprint, thermal behavior, and solder process requirements differ significantly; redesign and requalification are required.
