Product details
Overview
BAS21T-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount fast-switching silicon switching diode in SOT-523 package, rated for 250 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 400 mA forward current, and 50 ns reverse recovery time. It serves as a high-speed signal routing or clamping element in low-power analog and digital interface circuits, including ESD protection front-ends and level-shifting nodes.
For engineers reviewing the BAS21T-7-F datasheet, BAS21T-7-F pinout, BAS21T-7-F application, or BAS21T-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include its 250 V VRRM, 50 ns trr, 1.25 V VF @ 200 mA, 5.0 pF CT @ 0 V, and thermal resistance of 833 °C/W - all critical for high-frequency switching integrity and PCB space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The BAS21T-7-F is a planar epitaxial silicon PN junction diode optimized for fast transient response and low capacitance. Its 50 ns reverse recovery time and 5.0 pF junction capacitance at zero bias enable reliable operation in 1–10 MHz signal path switching, clamping, and polarity detection.
Designed for ambient temperatures from –65 °C to +150 °C and rated for 150 mW power dissipation on FR-4 with recommended pad layout, it supports stable performance in thermally demanding consumer and industrial control modules where lead-free compliance and small footprint are mandatory.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 250 V - supports DC blocking in 200 V rail systems with 25 % safety margin |
| trr | 50 ns - enables clean edge transitions in 10 MHz digital signal routing |
| CT | 5.0 pF @ 0 V - minimizes signal loading in RF detector and sample-hold inputs |
| VF | 1.25 V @ 200 mA - limits conduction loss to ≤250 mW in pulsed 200 mA paths |
| RθJA | 833 °C/W - requires minimal copper area for thermal management in SOT-523 layout |
| IFSM | 2.5 A @ 1 µs - withstands brief ESD-induced current surges without degradation |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT-523 - ultra-compact 3-terminal plastic surface-mount case (1.60 × 1.60 × 0.75 mm), lead-free matte tin-plated, moisture sensitivity level 1, UL 94V-0 rated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward current entry node | Connected to higher-potential side in clamping or rectification paths; marked by device top-side "T3" symbol adjacent to this pin |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Forward current exit node | Internally bonded to die cathode; tied to reference or lower-potential rail; electrically isolated from package tab (no thermal pad) |
| No-connect (Pin 3) | Non-functional terminal | Internal die bond wire stub; must remain unconnected per datasheet - floating or grounded connection degrades trr and leakage |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-fast recovery | 50 ns trr ensures minimal switching distortion in 10 MHz clock distribution networks |
| High-voltage blocking | 250 V VRRM allows direct use across 24–48 V industrial I/O lines without series resistors |
| Low junction capacitance | 5.0 pF CT preserves signal rise/fall times in high-impedance sensor interface nodes |
| Green RoHS-compliant construction | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) meets IPC-1752A Tier 1 reporting |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Data Line Protection | Automotive CAN Bus Transceiver Clamp |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast-switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAS16-7-F | VRRM = 100 V, trr = 4 ns, CT = 2.0 pF - faster but lower voltage rating | Suitable only for ≤36 V logic-level interfaces; insufficient for 48 V industrial I/O | Select when speed dominates over voltage margin and board space allows larger SOT-23 footprint |
| 1N4148W-7-F | VRRM = 100 V, trr = 4 ns, CT = 4.0 pF - slightly lower capacitance, same voltage limit | Not rated for >100 V reverse stress; unsuitable for 200 V DC-blocking roles | Prefer for general-purpose 5 V/3.3 V signal steering where cost and availability outweigh voltage headroom needs |
Compared with BAS16-7-F and 1N4148W-7-F, the BAS21T-7-F uniquely delivers 250 V blocking capability in SOT-523 without sacrificing 50 ns switching speed - making it the only option among the three for compact, high-voltage signal conditioning in space-constrained 24–48 V embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for BAS21T-7-F?
The BAS21T-7-F is rated for 400 mA continuous forward current (IFM) at 25 °C ambient, provided terminals are maintained at ambient temperature using the recommended FR-4 pad layout. Derating begins above 25 °C per the 150 mW power dissipation limit and 833 °C/W thermal resistance.
Does BAS21T-7-F have a thermal pad or exposed cathode connection?
No. The SOT-523 package has no thermal pad or exposed metal slug. Pin 2 (cathode) is the sole functional terminal; Pin 3 is a non-connected internal stub and must remain unconnected. Thermal performance relies entirely on PCB copper area under the standard footprint.
Can BAS21T-7-F be used in place of a 1N4148 in 5 V logic circuits?
Yes, electrically - its 1.25 V VF @ 200 mA and 50 ns trr meet or exceed 1N4148 specs. However, its 250 V VRRM and SOT-523 footprint require layout verification; it is not a drop-in replacement due to different pinout and smaller size.
Is BAS21T-7-F compliant with JEDEC moisture sensitivity level requirements?
Yes. The device is rated MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020D, meaning it may be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/85 % RH without baking prior to reflow. This eliminates pre-bake steps in standard SMT assembly for most production environments.
