Product details
Overview
BAS31,235 from Nexperia is a dual-series general-purpose controlled avalanche diode in SOT23 package, rated for 110 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 600 mA repetitive peak forward current, with 50 ns max reverse recovery time and 35 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V; used for high-speed switching in surface-mounted power supply clamp and signal routing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAS31,235 datasheet, BAS31,235 pinout, BAS31,235 application, or BAS31,235 equivalent, key selection criteria include series-connected dual-diode topology, avalanche energy handling (5 mJ), thermal resistance (360 K/W junction-to-tie-point), and FR4 PCB derating behavior across −65 °C to +150 °C operating range.
Technical Context
The BAS31 integrates two identical planar silicon diodes in series within a single SOT23-3 package, enabling higher effective reverse breakdown (240–340 V total) while maintaining matched thermal and switching characteristics. Its controlled avalanche capability supports transient energy absorption without destructive failure under repetitive surge conditions.
Designed for surface-mount operation on FR4 boards, it exhibits defined thermal derating: continuous forward current drops from 250 mA (single diode) to 150 mA (dual diode loaded), and junction temperature must remain ≤150 °C. Reverse recovery is characterized using 30 mA switching with 100 Ω load and 3 mA measurement threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 110 V - maximum non-destructive repetitive reverse voltage per diode; defines clamping headroom in flyback snubbers |
| IFRM | 600 mA - peak pulsed forward current capability; supports short-duration inrush or surge conduction |
| trr | 50 ns - measured reverse recovery time at 30 mA switch transition; enables >1 MHz switching in clamp circuits |
| Cd | 35 pF - junction capacitance at 0 V reverse bias; limits high-frequency signal coupling in RF bypass paths |
| ERRM | 5 mJ - repetitive peak reverse energy absorption; sustains repeated 100 µs/4 A surges without degradation |
| Rth j-tp | 360 K/W - thermal resistance from junction to tie-point; requires careful copper pour design for 150 °C Tj limit |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3 plastic surface-mounted package (TO-236AB), 3.0 × 1.4 × 1.1 mm body, 0.95 mm lead pitch, 0.48 mm lead width, and 0.1 mm max lead coplanarity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode of Diode 1 | Input node for first diode in series chain; connects to source of clamped signal or power rail |
| 2 | Cathode of Diode 1 / Anode of Diode 2 | Internal series interconnect; not externally accessible; defines shared node for voltage division |
| 3 | Cathode of Diode 2 | Output node for second diode; ties to ground or return path in bidirectional clamp configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-series diode topology | Enables 2× V(BR)R (240–340 V total) without external series connection; reduces board space vs discrete pair |
| Controlled avalanche behavior | Guaranteed non-destructive energy absorption up to 5 mJ per pulse; eliminates need for external TVS in moderate-surge apps |
| 50 ns trr with 30 mA test condition | Supports clean switching in 1–2 MHz DC-DC feedback loops and synchronous rectifier gate drive clamps |
| SOT23 footprint compatibility | Direct drop-in replacement for BAS29/BAS35 in existing layouts; same pad geometry and reflow profile |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-series avalanche diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSS40201MR6T1G | Single diode, 200 V VRRM, 200 mA IF, 4 ns trr; no avalanche rating | Lacks controlled avalanche; unsuitable for repetitive surge clamping | Select only for ultra-fast switching where energy absorption is handled externally |
| Vishay VS-8BQ015HM3 | Single Schottky, 15 V VR, 8 A IF, 0.45 V VF; no reverse recovery or avalanche capability | Optimized for low-loss rectification, not transient suppression | Use only in low-voltage, high-current forward conduction roles-not as clamp replacement |
Compared with NSS40201MR6T1G and VS-8BQ015HM3, BAS31,235 uniquely delivers series-connected avalanche robustness at 110 V per diode with verified 5 mJ energy handling-critical for unregulated input stage protection where alternatives require cascaded components or fail under repetitive stress.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for BAS31,235?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150 °C, as specified in the Limiting Values table. Operation above this temperature risks permanent parametric shift or thermal runaway. Derating curves in Figure 2 show that continuous forward current must be reduced to 150 mA when both diodes are loaded, and ambient temperature exceeds 75 °C on FR4 PCBs.
Can BAS31,235 replace two discrete BAS29 diodes in series?
Yes-BAS31,235 integrates two matched diodes in series within one SOT23 package, offering identical VRRM (110 V each), trr (50 ns), and avalanche energy rating (5 mJ) as individual BAS29 units. Pinout differs (BAS29 is anode-cathode; BAS31 is anode-interconnect-cathode), requiring minor layout update but no circuit redesign.
Is BAS31,235 suitable for automotive applications?
BAS31,235 meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for discrete semiconductors and is qualified for use in automotive infotainment, body control, and powertrain subsystems where ambient temperatures range from −40 °C to +125 °C. Its 150 °C Tj rating and 5 mJ surge capability support ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a/b compliance when properly heatsinked.
What is the meaning of "controlled avalanche" in this context?
Controlled avalanche refers to the diode's ability to enter and sustain a uniform, non-destructive avalanche breakdown mode under reverse overvoltage, dissipating energy predictably without thermal runaway. Unlike standard rectifiers, BAS31,235 is process-optimized to handle repetitive 5 mJ pulses at 20 Hz, making it suitable for clamping-not just blocking-transients.
