Product details
Overview
BAS321J from Nexperia is a high-voltage switching diode in SOD323F (SC-90) package, rated for 200 V reverse voltage, 250 mA forward current, and 50 ns reverse recovery time. It serves as a fast, low-leakage unidirectional switch in automotive and industrial power rail protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAS321J datasheet, BAS321J pinout, BAS321J application, or BAS321J equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance values, and real-world clamping and polarity protection use cases.
Technical Context
The BAS321J is a planar epitaxial silicon switching diode optimized for high-speed turn-off with controlled minority-carrier lifetime. Its 2 pF capacitance at 0 V and 50 ns trr enable clean signal edge handling in 1–10 MHz switching nodes.
Designed for surface-mount operation on FR4 PCBs with standard footprint, it features 100 nA reverse leakage at 200 V and 25 °C, and junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 300 K/W under single-sided copper conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR | 200 V maximum continuous reverse voltage - supports 24 V and 48 V industrial bus clamping without breakdown |
| VRRM | 250 V repetitive peak reverse voltage - withstands transient surges up to 250 V in automotive load-dump scenarios |
| IF | 250 mA DC forward current - sufficient for signal-level and low-power logic interface protection paths |
| trr | 50 ns reverse recovery time - enables reliable operation in PWM frequencies up to 10 MHz |
| IR | 100 nA reverse leakage at VR = 200 V - ensures minimal standby power loss in battery-backed systems |
| Cd | 2 pF diode capacitance at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity in high-frequency data line protection |
| Rth(j-a) | 300 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance - defines derating curve for ambient temperatures up to 85 °C on standard FR4 |
Pinout & Package
SOD323F (SC-90) plastic surface-mount package: 1.7 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.7 mm body, flat leads, cathode marked with band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to higher-potential node during reverse bias; carries return current path in clamp configurations |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to lower-potential node; source of forward conduction when biased above VF threshold |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD per JESD22-A114 |
| High-speed switching | 50 ns trr enables use in flyback snubbers and synchronous rectifier gate drive isolation |
| Low leakage | 100 nA IR at 200 V ensures <1 µW standby dissipation in always-on 12 V/24 V monitoring circuits |
| Small footprint | SOD323F package occupies 2.125 mm² board area - fits dense layout constraints in space-constrained ECUs |
Applications
| Automotive Load-Dump Protection | Industrial Signal Line Clamping |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CAN transceiver inputs against ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a (load dump up to 60 V). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting shunt clamp that conducts excess energy before downstream ICs exceed absolute max ratings. Use Value: 200 V VR rating and 50 ns trr prevent latch-up in 5 V CAN PHY receivers during 40 ms overvoltage events. |
Use Scenario: Limiting RS-485 differential input voltage swing to ±12 V in factory automation networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping pair (two BAS321J back-to-back) limits common-mode excursions. Use Value: 2 pF capacitance avoids signal distortion at 10 Mbps data rates; 100 nA leakage prevents DC bias shift. |
| Reverse Polarity Input Protection | DC-DC Converter Snubber |
Use Scenario: Preventing damage to 24 V power supplies when input terminals are accidentally reversed. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-connected anode-to-load configuration blocks reverse current flow while passing forward current. Use Value: 250 mA IF rating supports >20 W system loads; 1.25 V VF at 200 mA yields <250 mW conduction loss. |
Use Scenario: Suppressing voltage spikes across MOSFET drains in 300 kHz buck converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: RCD snubber diode that recirculates leakage inductance energy during turn-off. Use Value: 50 ns trr ensures full energy transfer before next switching cycle; 250 V VRRM handles 30% overshoot margins. |
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 MMBD301LT1G | 200 V VRRM, 100 mA IF, 4 ns trr, SOT-23 package | Lower IF rating limits use to signal-level only; faster trr suits >50 MHz RF clamping | Select when ultra-fast recovery is critical and current demand is ≤100 mA |
| Diodes Incorporated BAV99W-7-F | 100 V VRRM, 215 mA IF, 4 ns trr, SOT-323 dual-diode | Half the reverse voltage rating; dual configuration saves board space but lacks AEC-Q101 | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer designs where 100 V margin suffices and dual topology is preferred |
Compared with MMBD301LT1G and BAV99W-7-F, the BAS321J uniquely balances 200 V robustness, 250 mA current capability, AEC-Q101 compliance, and SOD323F miniaturization - making it the only option qualified for under-hood automotive clamping with ≥200 mA load support.

FAQ
Is BAS321J suitable for automotive under-hood applications?
Yes. The BAS321J is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for junction temperatures up to 150 °C. Its 200 V VR, 250 mA IF, and 50 ns trr meet requirements for engine control unit (ECU) power rail clamping and reverse battery protection in harsh environments.
What is the thermal performance on standard FR4 PCB?
When mounted on a single-sided, tin-plated FR4 PCB with standard footprint, the BAS321J exhibits Rth(j-a) = 300 K/W. At 25 °C ambient and 250 mA DC forward current, junction temperature rise is approximately 45 °C, well within the 150 °C limit.
Can BAS321J replace BAS21 in existing designs?
No. The BAS21 has VRRM = 250 V but uses DO-35 through-hole packaging and 300 ns trr. BAS321J offers superior speed (50 ns), SMD compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification - but requires PCB redesign due to SOD323F footprint and different thermal behavior.
Does BAS321J support bidirectional clamping?
Not alone. As a single anode-cathode device, it conducts only in one direction. For bidirectional clamping (e.g., RS-485), two BAS321J diodes must be connected in series opposition - anode-to-anode or cathode-to-cathode - to handle both positive and negative transients.
