Product details
Overview
BAS21WQ-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount fast-switching epitaxial planar silicon switching diode in SOT323 package, rated for 250 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 400 mA forward continuous current, and 50 ns reverse recovery time. It serves as a high-speed clamping, protection, or signal routing device in automotive power management and industrial control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAS21WQ-7-F datasheet, BAS21WQ-7-F pinout, BAS21WQ-7-F application, or BAS21WQ-7-F equivalent, this part supports AEC-Q100 qualified designs requiring low leakage (≤100 nA at 25°C), high breakdown voltage, and stable thermal performance up to +150°C ambient.
Technical Context
The BAS21WQ-7-F uses an epitaxial planar structure optimized for fast recovery with tRR = 50 ns under IF = IR = 30 mA, IRR = 0.1 × IR, RL = 100 Ω. Its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is 625 °C/W on FR-4 PCB with recommended pad layout.
It delivers low forward voltage (VF ≤ 1.25 V at IF = 200 mA) and minimal capacitance (CT ≤ 5.0 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz), enabling use in high-frequency signal conditioning and transient suppression where parasitic effects must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 250 V - Withstands repetitive reverse transients up to 250 V without breakdown |
| IF | 400 mA - Supports continuous forward conduction in low-power signal path applications |
| tRR | 50 ns - Enables reliable operation in >10 MHz switching circuits with minimal tail current |
| IR | 100 nA @ 25°C - Ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance bias or sensing nodes |
| CT | 5.0 pF @ VR = 0 V - Limits capacitive loading in RF and fast digital interface lines |
| PD | 200 mW - Defines maximum steady-state power dissipation on standard FR-4 layout |
| TJ | –55 to +150 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT323 - ultra-small surface-mount plastic package (2.15 mm × 2.10 mm × 0.95 mm), moisture sensitivity level 1, lead-free matte tin plating over Alloy 42 leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward current entry point | Connected to higher-potential node during conduction; requires proper trace width for 400 mA |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Typically tied to ground or lower-potential rail; defines polarity of clamping action |
| Case / Heat Sink (Pin 3) | Non-electrical mechanical connection | Exposed metal tab not internally connected; provides mechanical stability but no thermal or electrical function |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q100 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTOL, and ESD testing per Grade 1 requirements |
| Low leakage current | IR ≤ 100 nA at 25°C enables stable DC biasing in precision analog front-ends |
| Fast reverse recovery | tRR = 50 ns allows use in high-frequency flyback snubbers and data line protection without signal distortion |
| Green packaging | Halogen- and antimony-free molding compound (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) meets automotive environmental compliance mandates |
| SOT323 footprint | Standardized 3-pin outline compatible with automated pick-and-place and reflow processes in high-volume manufacturing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast-switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAS16W-7-F | VRRM = 100 V, tRR = 4 ns, IF = 200 mA - faster but lower voltage rating | Not suitable for 200 V+ blocking; limited to low-voltage logic-level clamping | Select only when speed dominates voltage requirement and system transients stay below 100 V |
| 1N4148W-7-F | VRRM = 100 V, tRR = 4 ns, IF = 300 mA - legacy part with identical SOT323 package | Lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and automotive change control documentation | Acceptable for commercial-grade designs but not for automotive PPAP submissions |
Compared with BAS16W-7-F and 1N4148W-7-F, the BAS21WQ-7-F uniquely balances 250 V blocking capability, 50 ns recovery, and automotive qualification-making it the only option among the three validated for under-hood 12 V/24 V systems requiring long-term reliability and change-controlled sourcing.

FAQ
Is BAS21WQ-7-F pin-compatible with 1N4148W-7-F?
Yes, both use the SOT323 package with identical pin 1 (anode), pin 2 (cathode), and pin 3 (case) assignments. However, BAS21WQ-7-F has higher VRRM (250 V vs. 100 V) and slower tRR (50 ns vs. 4 ns), so direct substitution requires verification of voltage stress and timing margins in the target circuit.
What is the maximum operating temperature for continuous use?
The BAS21WQ-7-F is rated for continuous operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature. At +150°C ambient, derating reduces allowable power dissipation to ~80 mW based on the published 625 °C/W RθJA curve and 200 mW absolute maximum rating.
Does BAS21WQ-7-F require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes - Diodes specifies a recommended SOT323 pad layout (available at diodes.com/package-outlines.html) to ensure thermal performance and solder joint reliability. Use of non-recommended pads may reduce power handling, increase thermal resistance, and risk tombstoning during reflow.
Can BAS21WQ-7-F be used in AC signal rectification?
It is rated for average rectified output current (IO) of 200 mA and RMS reverse voltage of 141 V, making it suitable for low-current, high-voltage AC-to-DC conversion in auxiliary power supplies or sensor excitation circuits - provided peak reverse voltage remains ≤250 V and thermal limits are observed.
