Product details
Overview
BAS321J-Q 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 clamping and polarity protection device in automotive power management and signal routing circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAS321J-Q datasheet, BAS321J-Q pinout, BAS321J-Q application, or BAS321J-Q equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, AEC-Q101 qualification status, thermal resistance values, real-world switching performance at 30 mA/30 mA test conditions, and validated automotive-grade reliability data - all critical for high-reliability board-level design and BOM validation.
Technical Context
This diode employs a planar epitaxial silicon structure optimized for high-speed minority-carrier switching with controlled carrier lifetime. Its 50 ns trr and ≤2 pF capacitance enable clean edge transitions in 1–10 MHz digital and analog signal paths.
The device operates across −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, supported by 190 K/W junction-to-solder-point thermal resistance and AEC-Q101 qualification - confirming robustness under automotive thermal cycling and transient surge stress per IEC60134 limiting values.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (Reverse Voltage) | 200 V - supports 24 V and 48 V automotive bus clamping without breakdown |
| VRRM (Peak Reverse Voltage) | 250 V - withstands repetitive transients up to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a levels |
| trr (Reverse Recovery Time) | 50 ns - enables reliable operation in 10 MHz+ switching nodes with minimal switching loss |
| IR (Reverse Leakage) | 100 nA @ 200 V, 25 °C - ensures negligible standby current in battery-sensitive systems |
| Cd (Diode Capacitance) | 2 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity in high-frequency data line protection |
| IF (Forward Current) | 250 mA continuous - sufficient for LED biasing, logic-level translation, and sensor interface loads |
| Rth(j-sp) | 190 K/W - enables thermal coupling to PCB copper for effective heat dissipation in compact layouts |
Pinout & Package
SOD323F (SC-90) surface-mount plastic package: 1.7 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.7 mm body, flat leads, cathode-marked top-side marking "ED", FR4-compatible footprint per Figure 10.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to higher-potential node during reverse bias; primary thermal path to PCB via solder pad |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Current entry point during forward conduction; routed to lower-potential rail or signal return |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive powertrain and body electronics per stress test requirements |
| trr ≤ 50 ns | Enables use in flyback snubbers and high-frequency DC-DC feedback paths without oscillation risk |
| IR ≤ 100 nA @ 200 V | Minimizes quiescent drain in always-on vehicle modules (e.g., CAN wake-up receivers) |
| Cd ≤ 2 pF | Preserves rise/fall times in USB 2.0, LIN, and SENT signal line protection |
| VF = 1.25 V @ 200 mA | Reduces forward drop versus Schottky alternatives while maintaining high VR rating |
Applications
| Automotive ECU Power Rail Clamping | Industrial Sensor Signal Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Suppressing load-dump transients on 12 V microcontroller supply rails in engine control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting clamp diode placed between VCC and ground, triggered within nanoseconds of overvoltage onset. Use Value: Limits rail excursion to ≤250 V using VRRM margin, with <50 ns response preventing MCU brownout or latch-up. |
Use Scenario: Protecting analog output pins of pressure sensors against reverse wiring or ESD events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamping element shunting fault current away from precision amplifier inputs. Use Value: 2 pF capacitance avoids signal distortion at 10 kHz sensor bandwidth; 100 nA leakage preserves µV-level offset accuracy. |
| USB 2.0 Data Line Polarity Guard | Smart Lighting LED String Reverse Blocking |
Use Scenario: Preventing damage when USB Type-A cables are inserted incorrectly into host-side receptacles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-connected anode-to-cathode blocking diode on D+ and D− lines. Use Value: 1.25 V VF at 200 mA ensures <1% signal attenuation at 480 Mbps; 2 pF Cd avoids eye diagram closure. |
Use Scenario: Isolating individual LED strings in multi-zone automotive lighting to prevent backfeed during partial failure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-VR blocking diode in series with each string's return path. Use Value: 200 V VR rating exceeds worst-case string open-circuit voltage; 250 mA IF handles peak PWM currents without derating. |
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 NSVBAS321LT1G | Same SOD-323F package, identical 200 V VR and 50 ns trr, but rated only to 125 °C Tj (vs. 150 °C) | Limited to under-hood ambient ≤105 °C; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs extended temperature or automotive compliance needs |
| Diodes Incorporated BAV99WQ-7-F | Dual diode in SOT-363; 70 V VR per diode, 4 ns trr, 10 pF Cd - faster but lower voltage rating | Suitable for low-voltage logic-level clamping (e.g., 3.3 V I/O), not 12/24 V rail protection | Choose only for sub-70 V signal integrity applications where speed > voltage headroom |
Compared with NSVBAS321LT1G and BAV99WQ-7-F, BAS321J-Q uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 150 °C junction rating, and 200 V/50 ns performance in a single-diode SC-90 package - making it the sole option for thermally demanding automotive clamping where single-device simplicity and full-spec compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
Is BAS321J-Q suitable for 48 V mild-hybrid vehicle systems?
Yes. With VRRM = 250 V and AEC-Q101 qualification, BAS321J-Q meets ISO 26262 ASIL-B supporting requirements for 48 V bus clamping. Its 150 °C Tj rating and 190 K/W Rth(j-sp) ensure thermal stability under sustained 48 V load-dump pulses when mounted on ≥1 cm² cathode copper.
What is the maximum allowable surge current for BAS321J-Q in a 100 µs pulse?
Per Table 5, the non-repetitive peak forward current is 9 A for tp = 100 µs square wave at Tj(init) = 25 °C. This value assumes FR4 PCB mounting with standard footprint; derating is required above 85 °C ambient due to thermal impedance curves in Figure 2.
Does BAS321J-Q have a specified junction-to-case thermal resistance?
No - the datasheet specifies Rth(j-a) = 300 K/W and Rth(j-sp) = 190 K/W (to solder point), but does not define a discrete case interface. Thermal design must reference junction-to-solder-point resistance and use the cathode pad as the primary heat transfer path per Figure 10 layout.
Can BAS321J-Q replace BAS21 in existing designs?
No - BAS21 is DO-35 through-hole with 250 V VRRM but 300 ns trr and 1 A IF, while BAS321J-Q is SOD323F SMD with 50 ns trr, 250 mA IF, and AEC-Q101 qualification. The packages, thermal profiles, and switching performance differ significantly; redesign and requalification are required.
