Product details
Overview
BAS516-QF from Nexperia is a high-speed switching diode in SOD523 (SC-79) package, rated for 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 4 ns reverse recovery time, and 250 mA forward current at 25 °C ambient. It serves as a fast-turn-off signal path switch in automotive power management and ECU input conditioning circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAS516-QF datasheet, BAS516-QF pinout, BAS516-QF application, or BAS516-QF equivalent, key selection criteria include trr ≤ 4 ns, VR ≤ 100 V, low leakage (IR ≤ 0.5 µA at VR = 80 V), and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood reliability.
Technical Context
The BAS516-QF operates as a single-junction silicon planar epitaxial diode optimized for rapid charge removal during reverse-bias transition. Its trr of 4 ns is measured under IF = IR = 10 mA, RL = 100 Ω, and IR(meas) = 1 mA conditions, confirming suitability for >100 MHz switching waveforms.
Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 120 K/W, with maximum junction temperature limited to 150 °C. The device sustains 500 mW total power dissipation when mounted on FR4 PCB with standard SOD523 footprint and tin-plated copper.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 100 V - supports 48 V automotive bus transients and 24 V system clamping without breakdown |
| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | 4 ns - enables clean switching in PWM dimming drivers and CAN/LIN bus protection circuits |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 855 mV @ 10 mA - minimizes conduction loss in low-power signal routing paths |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 0.5 µA @ 80 V, 25 °C - ensures stable biasing in high-impedance sensor interface nodes |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 1 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity in RF front-end ESD clamp networks |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C max - allows operation in engine control modules with localized thermal hotspots |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD523 (SC-79), ultra-small surface-mount plastic package measuring 1.2 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.6 mm body height, qualified per AEC-Q101 for automotive use.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to higher-potential node during reverse bias; solder point defines thermal path (Rth(j-sp) = 120 K/W) |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Forward current entry point; polarity marking '6' on top surface identifies cathode side |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-speed switching | trr ≤ 4 ns enables use in 200+ MHz clock line clamping and data-line transient suppression |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood environments including temperature cycling (-40 °C to 150 °C) and mechanical shock |
| Low capacitance | 1 pF at 0 V reverse bias maintains bandwidth in high-frequency signal path protection |
| Low leakage current | 0.5 µA at 80 V reverse bias prevents false triggering in high-gain analog sensing inputs |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSVRBAS516WT1G | Identical SOD523 package, trr = 4 ns, but VF = 900 mV @ 10 mA and IR = 1 µA @ 80 V | Slightly higher forward drop increases conduction loss in battery-powered sensor nodes | Select when second-source qualification is required and 0.045 V VF penalty is acceptable |
| Vishay ES1JHM3/84A | SOD-123 package (larger), trr = 35 ns, VR = 600 V, Cd = 15 pF - slower, higher voltage, higher capacitance | Not suitable for >10 MHz signal paths; used where surge robustness outweighs speed | Choose only for 400–600 V transient suppression where speed is secondary to clamping voltage margin |
Compared with NSVRBAS516WT1G and ES1JHM3/84A, the BAS516-QF delivers optimal balance of speed (4 ns), low capacitance (1 pF), and automotive qualification - making it the preferred choice for space-constrained, high-frequency automotive signal protection.

FAQ
Is BAS516-QF compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes. The BAS516-QF is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020, with peak temperature tolerance up to 260 °C for 30 seconds. Its SC-79 package uses matte tin plating and meets IPC/JEDEC standards for wetting balance and intermetallic formation control.
What is the maximum allowable forward surge current for BAS516-QF?
The non-repetitive peak forward current (IFSM) is 4 A for 1 µs square-wave pulses at Tj(init) = 25 °C. For 1 ms pulses, IFSM drops to 1 A. Exceeding these limits risks metallization failure or bond wire lift-off due to localized thermal stress.
Does BAS516-QF require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes. At Tamb = 125 °C, the maximum continuous forward current must be reduced to 125 mA to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C, based on Rth(j-sp) = 120 K/W and Ptot = 500 mW limit. Derating follows linear interpolation between 25 °C (250 mA) and 150 °C (0 mA).
Can BAS516-QF be used in series or parallel configurations?
Series connection is permissible for increased VR rating (e.g., two devices for 200 V), but requires matched trr and VF to avoid voltage imbalance. Parallel operation is not recommended due to thermal runaway risk from positive temperature coefficient of VF and lack of integrated current-sharing features.
