Product details
Overview
BAV21W-G RHG from Taiwan Semiconductor is a high-voltage fast-switching silicon switching diode in SOD-123 package, rated for 250 V peak reverse voltage (VRM), 500 mW power dissipation, and 50 ns reverse recovery time (trr), used in flyback snubbers, DC-DC converter freewheeling paths, and ESD-protected signal clamping circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAV21W-G RHG datasheet, BAV21W-G RHG pinout, BAV21W-G RHG application, or BAV21W-G RHG equivalent, key selection criteria include VRM = 250 V, trr < 50 ns, VF = 1.25 V @ IF = 200 mA, IR ≤ 0.1 μA @ VR = 200 V, and SOD-123 thermal resistance RθJA = 250°C/W.
Technical Context
This diode operates as a unidirectional, low-leakage, high-speed rectifier with a planar epitaxial structure optimized for fast turn-off. Its 250 V VRM rating supports use in 24–48 V industrial power rails with margin, while trr ≤ 50 ns enables operation up to ~1 MHz in hard-switched topologies.
The SOD-123 package features matte tin-plated terminals compliant with MIL-STD-202 Method 208, rated for 260°C/10s soldering, and moisture sensitivity level 1 - eliminating bake requirements prior to reflow. Junction capacitance is 2.5 pF at VR = 0 V, f = 1 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRM | 250 V - supports 200 V DC bus designs with 25% safety margin against transients |
| trr | ≤ 50 ns - enables efficient operation in 500 kHz–1 MHz SMPS flyback and boost converters |
| VF @ 200 mA | 1.25 V max - limits forward conduction loss to ≤250 mW at rated current |
| IR @ 200 V | ≤ 0.1 μA - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance bias or sensing nodes |
| RθJA | 250°C/W - requires minimal copper area (≥25 mm²) for full-power operation at TA = 70°C |
| CJ @ 0 V | 2.5 pF - minimizes capacitive loading in high-frequency signal routing or RF detector inputs |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD-123 - surface-mount plastic case with bent leads, 3.55–3.85 mm length, 1.4–1.8 mm width, 0.45–0.7 mm thickness, cathode indicated by band.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to lower-potential node (e.g., switch node in buck freewheel path) |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Marked with band; ties to higher-potential rail (e.g., output capacitor positive) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| High VRM rating | 250 V VRM supports 200 V nominal input systems (e.g., PoE++, industrial 24/48 V) |
| Low reverse leakage | IR ≤ 0.1 μA at 200 V preserves accuracy in high-impedance voltage divider or reference circuits |
| Halogen-free green compound | Pb-free, RoHS-compliant molding compound meets IPC-4101D/93 requirements |
| MSL Level 1 | No floor life limitation or pre-bake required - compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles |
Applications
| Switch-Mode Power Supply Snubber | ESD-Protected Signal Clamping |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Clamp voltage spikes across MOSFET drains in flyback or forward converters. IC Role / Device Role: Fast-recovery snubber diode absorbing inductive kick energy. Use Value: 50 ns trr and 250 V VRM prevent secondary breakdown during 100–500 V transient events. | Use Scenario: Protect analog sensor inputs (e.g., thermistor, RTD) from ±8 kV HBM ESD. IC Role / Device Role: Low-capacitance (2.5 pF), low-leakage clamping diode to rail. Use Value: 0.1 μA IR avoids DC offset error; SOD-123 footprint fits tight-layout sensor modules. |
| DC-DC Converter Freewheel Path | High-Voltage Bias Supply Rectification |
Use Scenario: Provide freewheeling path in 48 V input buck converters operating at 500 kHz. IC Role / Device Role: Unidirectional current path during low-side switch off-time. Use Value: 1.25 V VF at 200 mA yields <250 mW conduction loss; 250°C/W RθJA allows 70°C ambient operation. | Use Scenario: Rectify 100–200 V AC-derived bias for gate drivers or optocouplers. IC Role / Device Role: High-VRM discrete rectifier replacing small-signal bridge sections. Use Value: 250 V VRM exceeds 200 V peak input; 500 mW PD supports 10 mA continuous output. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV20W-G | VRM = 200 V (vs. 250 V); otherwise identical trr, VF, and package | Not suitable for 200 V DC bus designs requiring >20% transient margin | Select BAV20W-G only when VRM ≥ 200 V suffices and cost optimization is prioritized |
| 1N4148W | VRM = 100 V, trr = 4 ns (faster), but VF = 1.0 V @ 10 mA - not rated for 200 mA continuous | Limited to low-current (<75 mA), low-voltage (<75 V) signal switching | Use 1N4148W only in logic-level clamping or low-power timing circuits - not for power rectification |
Compared with BAV20W-G and 1N4148W, the BAV21W-G RHG uniquely balances 250 V robustness, 50 ns speed, and 200 mA current capability in SOD-123 - making it the sole option among the three qualified for 48 V–200 V industrial power conversion.

FAQ
What is the maximum peak reverse voltage rating for BAV21W-G RHG?
The BAV21W-G RHG has a maximum peak reverse voltage (VRM) rating of 250 V. This value is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the official Taiwan Semiconductor datasheet (Version D1603) and defines the highest repetitive voltage the diode can block without breakdown. It is critical for selecting appropriate voltage margin in 48 V or 100 V DC bus applications where transient spikes must be safely absorbed.
What is the reverse recovery time (trr) of BAV21W-G RHG and how is it measured?
The BAV21W-G RHG has a reverse recovery time (trr) of ≤ 50 ns, tested under conditions of IF = IR = 30 mA, RL = 100 Ω, and IRR = 3 mA per the datasheet. This parameter reflects the diode's ability to transition from forward conduction to reverse blocking, directly impacting switching losses in high-frequency converters. The measurement confirms suitability for operation up to 1 MHz in hard-switched topologies.
Is BAV21W-G RHG RoHS compliant and what does the 'G' suffix indicate?
Yes, BAV21W-G RHG is Pb-free and RoHS compliant. The 'G' suffix denotes halogen-free green compound packaging material, verified per IPC-4101D/93 standards. This ensures environmental compliance and eliminates brominated flame retardants, supporting modern electronics manufacturing requirements without compromising thermal or mechanical performance.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of BAV21W-G RHG and how does it affect PCB layout?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of BAV21W-G RHG is 250°C/W, measured on a standard FR-4 board with no added copper. This means a 500 mW power dissipation will raise junction temperature by 125°C above ambient. To maintain TJ ≤ 150°C at TA = 70°C, designers must provide ≥25 mm² of 1-oz copper connected to at least one pad - verified in TSC's suggested pad layout documentation.
How is polarity marked on the BAV21W-G RHG SOD-123 package?
Polarity on the BAV21W-G RHG is indicated by a cathode band printed on the package body - a visible dark stripe near one end of the SOD-123 case. Per mechanical drawings, this band aligns with the cathode terminal, which must connect to the higher-potential node in circuit operation. The anode is the unmarked terminal, and correct orientation is essential to avoid reverse conduction failure in rectifier or clamp configurations.
