Product details
Overview
BAV16W-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount fast switching diode in SOD123 package, rated for 100 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 300 mA forward current, and featuring 4 ns reverse recovery time, 2 pF junction capacitance, and max 0.715 V forward voltage at 1 mA - used in high-speed signal clamping and logic-level translation circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAV16W-13-F datasheet, BAV16W-13-F pinout, BAV16W-13-F application, or BAV16W-13-F equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery speed, low forward voltage at low currents, junction capacitance for high-frequency integrity, and SOD123 thermal performance under pulsed switching loads.
Technical Context
This diode operates as a unidirectional, silicon-based PN junction switch optimized for fast transient response. Its 4 ns tRR enables reliable operation in digital signal routing, sample-and-hold discharge paths, and ESD protection networks where charge removal must occur within nanosecond windows.
The device exhibits low leakage (≤1 µA at 75 V, 25°C) and stable VF across 1–150 mA (0.715–1.25 V), supporting consistent logic threshold referencing. Its 2 pF CT at 0 V ensures minimal capacitive loading on high-impedance nodes in RF detector and oscillator bias circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - supports DC blocking and transient suppression in 24–48 V industrial control signal lines |
| tRR | 4 ns - enables clean edge transitions in >100 MHz clock distribution and data line steering |
| CT | 2 pF - minimizes signal distortion in 50 Ω RF interfaces and high-speed comparator inputs |
| VF @ 1 mA | 0.715 V max - ensures accurate low-current biasing in precision analog switch and reference clamp circuits |
| IF Continuous | 300 mA - sustains pulsed current in LED driver flyback snubbers and relay coil freewheeling |
| RθJA | 315 °C/W - requires thermal pad design for sustained >100 mW dissipation on FR-4 PCBs |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD123 - surface-mount plastic case with cathode band marking, 0.01 g mass, UL 94V-0 rating, and matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe for lead-free reflow compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node in clamping or freewheeling path; solder pad must meet 0.9 mm × 4.05 mm footprint per Diodes' recommended layout |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Marked by band; ties to higher-potential rail or signal return; critical for polarity-sensitive ESD protection placement |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast reverse recovery | 4 ns - reduces switching loss and prevents false triggering in 10–100 MHz digital timing circuits |
| Low forward voltage at 1 mA | ≤0.715 V - maintains accuracy in micro-power sensor interface bias networks without load-induced offset |
| Low junction capacitance | ≤2 pF - preserves signal rise/fall times in 50–200 MHz RF detector and mixer applications |
| SOD123 surface-mount compatibility | JEDEC-standard footprint - enables automated placement and reflow in high-volume consumer electronics assembly |
Applications
| Digital Logic Clamping | RF Signal Detection |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fast switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1N4148W-13-F | Identical electrical specs and SOD123 package; same VF, tRR, CT, and VRRM; differentiated only by part numbering convention | No functional difference; both qualified for commercial-grade general-purpose switching | Select based on inventory availability or legacy BOM alignment |
| BAS16W-13-F | Same SOD123 package but slightly higher VF (0.855 V @ 10 mA) and identical tRR (4 ns); otherwise matches BAV16W-13-F in VRRM, CT, and IF | Marginally less suitable for ultra-low-voltage biasing but acceptable in most clamping and freewheeling roles | Prefer BAV16W-13-F when <0.75 V VF at 1 mA is required for precision analog functions |
Compared with 1N4148W-13-F and BAS16W-13-F, BAV16W-13-F offers the lowest guaranteed forward voltage at 1 mA (≤0.715 V), making it optimal for micro-power sensing and low-threshold logic interface applications where voltage headroom is constrained.

FAQ
Is BAV16W-13-F RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes. BAV16W-13-F is fully RoHS 3 compliant (2015/863/EU), lead-free, and halogen- and antimony-free per Diodes' "Green" definition: ≤900 ppm bromine, ≤900 ppm chlorine (≤1500 ppm total Br + Cl), and ≤1000 ppm antimony compounds. It carries UL 94V-0 flammability rating and meets J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity Level 1.
What is the maximum power dissipation for BAV16W-13-F at 75°C ambient?
At 75°C ambient temperature, the maximum allowable power dissipation is 250 mW, derived from the linear derating curve (400 mW at 25°C, slope −1.27 mW/°C). This assumes mounting on FR-4 with 3 oz copper and 2″×2″ anode/cathode pads per datasheet Note 5.
Can BAV16W-13-F replace 1N4148 in through-hole designs?
No direct replacement: BAV16W-13-F uses SOD123 surface-mount packaging, while legacy 1N4148 uses DO-35 axial leads. Electrical specs align closely, but mechanical redesign is required for PCB layout, pad geometry, and reflow profile. Use 1N4148W-13-F if SOD123 form factor is acceptable.
Does BAV16W-13-F meet AEC-Q101 for automotive use?
No. BAV16W-13-F is not AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive applications, Diodes specifies the 1N4148WQ-13-F variant, which is AEC-Q101 qualified, PPAP capable, and manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities - BAV16W-13-F is intended for commercial and industrial use only.
