Product details
Overview
BAV21HWF-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount high-voltage switching diode in SOD123F package, rated for 250 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 50 ns reverse recovery time, and 400 mA peak forward current. It serves as a fast-recovery rectifier in power supply front-ends and signal clamping circuits of automotive and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the BAV21HWF-7 datasheet, BAV21HWF-7 pinout, BAV21HWF-7 application, or BAV21HWF-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse breakdown stability at 150°C, low 100 nA leakage at 200 V, thermal resistance of 70°C/W to solder point, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This diode employs a planar epitaxial silicon structure optimized for high-voltage blocking with minimal minority-carrier storage, enabling 50 ns trr under 30 mA IF/IR conditions and 0.1×IR tail current. Its flat leadframe design enhances thermal transfer from junction to PCB, supporting continuous operation up to +150°C ambient.
The SOD123F package features matte tin-plated copper alloy leads, UL 94V-0 molding compound, and cathode-bar polarity marking. Thermal resistance junction-to-solder point (RθJSP = 70°C/W) is specified with recommended FR-4 pad layout per AP02001.
Key Specifications

| VRRM | 250 V - Withstands transient surges up to this DC-blocking voltage without avalanche conduction |
| trr | 50 ns - Enables efficient high-frequency switching in SMPS and snubber circuits |
| IR @ 200 V, 25°C | 100 nA - Ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance bias networks |
| VF @ 100 mA | 1.0 V max - Limits forward conduction loss in low-duty-cycle clamp applications |
| RθJSP | 70 °C/W - Delivers predictable thermal performance when soldered to standard PCB copper area |
| IFRM | 625 mA - Supports short-duration surge handling in input protection stages |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Meets stress test requirements for automotive electronic modules |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry | Connected to lower-potential node in rectification or clamping path |
| Cathode (bar-marked) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Must be routed to higher-potential node; polarity critical for ESD-safe layout |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV21W-7-F | Same die, SOD-123 (not SOD123F); RθJSP = 100°C/W; no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to commercial-temp consumer products; unsuitable for under-hood automotive | Select only if cost-sensitive non-automotive designs accept higher thermal resistance |
| 1N4148W-7-F | 100 V VRRM; 4 ns trr; 300 mA IFRM; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Optimized for signal-speed logic clamping-not high-voltage transient suppression | Use only where reverse voltage ≤75 V and sub-10 ns switching is required |
Compared with BAV21W-7-F and 1N4148W-7-F, the BAV21HWF-7 uniquely combines 250 V blocking, 50 ns recovery, and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it the sole choice for thermally constrained, high-reliability automotive clamping where both voltage margin and qualification matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for BAV21HWF-7?
The BAV21HWF-7 has an operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C, with derated power dissipation above +25°C ambient per Figure 1. At +100°C ambient, maximum continuous power drops to ~180 mW due to RθJA = 330°C/W on FR-4 board.
Is BAV21HWF-7 suitable for high-frequency rectification above 1 MHz?
Yes-its 50 ns reverse recovery time and 5.0 pF junction capacitance enable reliable operation up to 2 MHz in flyback and boost converter outputs. Performance remains stable up to +125°C, though VF increases ~1.5 mV/°C above 25°C.
Does BAV21HWF-7 require special PCB layout considerations?
Yes-use the recommended pad layout from AP02001 to achieve RθJSP = 70°C/W. Avoid thermal relief on cathode/anode pads; maintain ≥0.3 mm clearance to adjacent copper; and orient the cathode bar toward heat-sinking planes for optimal thermal transfer.
How does the SOD123F package differ from standard SOD-123?
SOD123F uses a flat leadframe (vs. bent leads in SOD-123), reducing profile height to 0.9 mm max and improving thermal resistance to solder point (70°C/W vs. 100°C/W). It also features tighter dimensional tolerances and enhanced moisture resistance (J-STD-020 Level 1).
