Product details
Overview
BAV20WS-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount high-voltage fast-switching diode in SOD323 package, rated for 200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 150 V DC blocking voltage (VRWM), and 50 ns reverse recovery time (tRR). It delivers 250 mA forward continuous current and operates across –55 °C to +150 °C, commonly used in flyback snubbers and ESD protection circuits in power supply front-ends.
For engineers reviewing the BAV20WS-7 datasheet, BAV20WS-7 pinout, BAV20WS-7 application, or BAV20WS-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200 V VRRM, 50 ns tRR, 1.25 V VF @ 200 mA, 5.0 pF capacitance at 0 V, and SOD323 thermal resistance of 625 °C/W - all critical for high-speed switching and compact layout designs.
Technical Context
This diode employs a planar epitaxial silicon structure optimized for fast recovery with low stored charge, enabling efficient operation in high-frequency DC-DC converters and clamping circuits. Its 200 V VRRM and 150 V VRWM support use in 100–120 VAC line-derived supplies and automotive 24 V systems with transient margin.
The SOD323 package provides low parasitic inductance and capacitance (5.0 pF at 0 V), while the 50 ns tRR ensures minimal switching loss during turn-off in PWM-controlled topologies. Thermal resistance of 625 °C/W (on FR-4, 2 oz copper, 1-inch² pad) defines its derating behavior under sustained 200 mW dissipation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 200 V - supports 100–120 VAC input rectification with safety margin |
| tRR | 50 ns - enables stable operation up to ~2 MHz switching in snubber/clamp circuits |
| VF @ 200 mA | 1.25 V - limits conduction loss to ≤250 mW in 200 mA paths |
| CT @ 0 V | 5.0 pF - minimizes capacitive loading on high-impedance signal nodes |
| PD | 200 mW - sets maximum steady-state power in ambient-limited PCB layouts |
| RθJA | 625 °C/W - requires ≥1-inch² copper pad for full-rated power at +25 °C ambient |
| IFSM @ 100 µs | 3.0 A - withstands typical MOSFET gate-drive surge transients |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD323 - ultra-compact 2-pin surface-mount plastic case (1.30 mm × 1.70 mm × 0.90 mm), matte tin-plated alloy 42 leadframe, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry | Connected to lower-potential node in clamp/snubber path; polarity-marked by absence of band |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Marked by cathode band; ties to higher-potential rail or switch node in flyback/boost configurations |
Key Features

| Surface-mount compatibility | SOD323 footprint allows automated placement and reflow without lead bending |
| Low junction-to-ambient thermal resistance | 625 °C/W on standard FR-4 enables 200 mW dissipation with minimal board area |
| Halogen- and antimony-free "Green" construction | Meets IEC 61249-2-21:2017; <900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Snubber | ESD Protection for Low-Voltage I/O |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage fast-switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV21WS-7-F | 250 V VRRM, 200 V VRWM, same tRR and package | Better suited for 230 VAC-derived supplies or higher-transient industrial environments | Select when >200 V standoff is required; otherwise identical layout and thermal behavior |
| 1N4148WS-7-F | 100 V VRRM, 4 ns tRR, same SOD323 package | Optimized for low-voltage, ultra-high-speed logic clamping-not for 120/240 VAC systems | Choose only for sub-75 V circuits where speed outweighs voltage rating |
Compared with BAV21WS-7-F, BAV20WS-7 offers balanced voltage margin for 120 VAC systems; versus 1N4148WS-7-F, it trades 46 ns slower recovery for 100 V higher blocking capability - critical for mains-connected power stages.

FAQ
Is BAV20WS-7 suitable for automotive applications?
No - BAV20WS-7 is not AEC-Q101 qualified. Diodes offers the automotive-grade BAV20WSQ-7-F variant with PPAP documentation, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and extended temperature validation. Standard BAV20WS-7 meets JEDEC reliability standards but lacks automotive change control and qualification testing.
What is the maximum forward current for continuous operation?
The maximum forward continuous current (IFM) is 250 mA at TA = +25 °C with device mounted on FR-4 PCB using a 1-inch² copper pad. Derating begins above +25 °C per the 625 °C/W RθJA; at +85 °C ambient, usable IFM drops to approximately 160 mA to maintain junction temperature ≤150 °C.
Does BAV20WS-7 have a specified reverse recovery charge (Qrr)?
No - the datasheet does not specify Qrr. Only tRR = 50 ns is provided under defined test conditions (IF = IR = 30 mA, IRR = 0.1 × IR, RL = 100 Ω). Designers requiring Qrr should consult Diodes' application note AN-2001 or characterize the device in-circuit using standard double-pulse methods.
Can BAV20WS-7 replace 1N4148 in high-voltage circuits?
No - 1N4148 has only 100 V VRRM, making it unsafe for circuits exceeding 70 V reverse bias. BAV20WS-7's 200 V rating allows direct substitution only where voltage stress exceeds 100 V; however, its 50 ns tRR is slower than 1N4148's typical 4 ns, so timing-critical logic clamps may require validation.
