Product details
Overview
BAV21HWFQ-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount high-voltage switching diode with 250 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 100 nA reverse leakage at 200 V, and 50 ns reverse recovery time, optimized for fast transient response in power supply clamp and signal routing circuits in automotive and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the BAV21HWFQ-7 datasheet, BAV21HWFQ-7 pinout, BAV21HWFQ-7 application, or BAV21HWFQ-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse breakdown margin, thermal performance in SOD123F package, trr stability across temperature, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This diode employs a planar epitaxial silicon structure to achieve stable 250 V VRRM with low capacitance (5.0 pF at 0 V) and controlled minority-carrier lifetime for consistent 50 ns trr under IF = IR = 30 mA, Irr = 0.1 × IR test conditions. Its flat leadframe design enhances thermal transfer from junction to PCB.
Rated for operation from –65°C to +150°C, it delivers 400 mA peak forward current and maintains <100 nA IR up to +150°C at VR = 200 V, supporting robust performance in thermally constrained automotive cabin and engine-control modules.
Key Specifications

| trr | 50 ns - Enables use in >1 MHz switching power supplies and high-speed signal clamping |
| IR @ 200 V, 25°C | 100 nA - Ensures minimal leakage-induced error in precision bias and sensing paths |
| VF @ 100 mA | 1.0–1.25 V - Low forward drop reduces conduction loss in flyback snubbers and OR-ing circuits |
| RθJA | 330 °C/W - Thermal resistance measured on FR-4 PCB with recommended pad layout |
| PD | 375 mW - Maximum steady-state power dissipation at TA = 25°C |

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 VRRM (250 V), but trr = 50 ns (identical), IR = 100 nA (identical); SOD-123 (not SOD123F) package | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and flat leadframe thermal enhancement | Select when automotive qualification is not required and cost is prioritized over thermal margin |
| 1N4148W-7-F | Lower VRRM (100 V), faster trr (4 ns), higher IR (25 nA @ 20 V); same SOD-123F footprint | Not suitable for >100 V transient suppression; limited to signal-level clamping | Select only for low-voltage, ultra-high-speed logic clamping where 250 V margin is unnecessary |
Compared with BAV21W-7-F and 1N4148W-7-F, the BAV21HWFQ-7 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 250 V capability, and enhanced thermal performance in SOD123F-making it the sole choice for automotive-grade high-voltage switching where reliability and thermal headroom are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for BAV21HWFQ-7?
The BAV21HWFQ-7 is rated for junction and storage temperatures from –65°C to +150°C. Its thermal resistance (RθJA = 330°C/W) and power derating curve confirm continuous operation at +150°C ambient when mounted on FR-4 with the recommended pad layout, provided power dissipation remains within the derated limit.
Is BAV21HWFQ-7 suitable for reverse polarity protection in 24 V automotive systems?
Yes. With 250 V VRRM and AEC-Q101 qualification, the BAV21HWFQ-7 safely handles ISO 7637-2 load-dump pulses up to 150 V in 24 V systems. Its 100 nA IR at 200 V ensures negligible leakage in always-on monitoring circuits, and its SOD123F package supports reliable solder joint integrity under thermal cycling.
How does the SOD123F package differ from standard SOD-123?
The SOD123F features a flat leadframe design that improves thermal transfer versus standard SOD-123, reducing RθJA by approximately 25%. It retains identical PCB footprint dimensions but uses annealed matte tin plating over copper alloy for superior solderability and intermetallic durability in automotive reflow profiles.
Does BAV21HWFQ-7 meet halogen-free and antimony-free "Green" requirements?
Yes. The BAV21HWFQ-7 is certified halogen- and antimony-free per Diodes Incorporated's definition: <900 ppm bromine, <900 ppm chlorine (<1500 ppm total Br + Cl), and <1000 ppm antimony compounds. It is fully RoHS 3 compliant (2015/863/EU) with no purposely added lead.
