Product details
Overview
BAV21WS-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount high-voltage fast-switching diode in SOD323 package, rated for 250 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 200 mA average rectified current (IO), and 50 ns reverse recovery time (tRR). It serves as a general-purpose switching diode in DC-DC converter flyback snubbers, ESD protection clamps, and signal-level voltage clamping circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAV21WS-7 datasheet, BAV21WS-7 pinout, BAV21WS-7 application, or BAV21WS-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 250 V VRRM, low 5.0 pF capacitance at 0 V, 1.25 V max forward voltage at 200 mA, thermal resistance of 625 °C/W, and JEDEC-qualified reliability for industrial power management designs.
Technical Context
This diode operates as a unidirectional silicon PN junction device optimized for high-speed switching with minimal charge storage. Its 50 ns tRR enables use in 100 kHz–1 MHz switching topologies where reverse recovery loss must be constrained.
Rated for 250 V VRRM and 200 V VRWM, it supports DC blocking in auxiliary power rails and transient suppression in 24 V/48 V industrial control I/O stages. The SOD323 package provides 0.004 g mass and J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity for reflow compatibility.
Key Specifications

| IO | 200 mA avg - Supports continuous rectification in low-power auxiliary supplies and bias networks |
| RθJA | 625 °C/W - Requires minimal copper area (1-inch² pad) for thermal management at full power |
| TJ Range | −55 °C to +150 °C - Qualified for extended-temperature industrial and automotive-adjacent environments |

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Clamping voltage spikes across MOSFET drains in flyback or buck-boost converters operating at 200–500 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-recovery clamp diode absorbing inductive energy during switch turn-off. Use Value: 50 ns tRR and 250 V VRRM prevent secondary breakdown while minimizing ringback overshoot. |
Use Scenario: Protecting 24 V PLC digital input channels against ESD and inductive kickback from solenoid loads. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (with series resistor) limiting line-to-ground excursions. Use Value: Low 5.0 pF capacitance avoids signal integrity degradation on 100 kHz–1 MHz sensor inputs. |
| Signal-Level Voltage Clamp | Low-Power Auxiliary Rectifier |
Use Scenario: Limiting analog sensor output swing to MCU ADC input range (e.g., ±3.3 V rail clamping). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Precision forward-biased clamp diode defining upper/lower voltage bounds. Use Value: 1.25 V VF max at 200 mA ensures predictable clamping threshold under load. |
Use Scenario: Rectifying 12 V AC from small transformers in low-current bias supplies (<200 mA). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Half-wave rectifier delivering DC to LDOs or op-amp bias networks. Use Value: 200 mA IO rating and 625 °C/W RθJA support continuous operation on minimal PCB copper. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV20WS-7-F | 200 V VRRM, 150 V VRWM, identical tRR and package | Limited to ≤48 V systems; unsuitable for 24 V bus transients exceeding 200 V | Select when 200 V blocking suffices and cost optimization is prioritized |
| 1N4148W-7-F | 100 V VRRM, 4 nA IR @ 100 °C, same SOD323 package | Not rated for >100 V applications; higher leakage degrades high-impedance sensing | Use only in ≤30 V logic-level clamping where ultra-low leakage is critical |
Compared with BAV20WS-7-F and 1N4148W-7-F, BAV21WS-7 offers the highest blocking voltage (250 V) and lowest capacitance (5.0 pF) among SOD323 fast diodes, making it optimal for 48 V industrial snubbers and precision clamping where voltage margin and signal fidelity are both critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature for BAV21WS-7?
The BAV21WS-7 has an operating junction temperature range of −55 °C to +150 °C per datasheet DS30119 Rev. 23. At 200 mW power dissipation and 625 °C/W thermal resistance, junction temperature rise is 125 °C above ambient-so maximum ambient must be limited to +25 °C for safe operation at full power without derating.
Is BAV21WS-7 suitable for automotive applications?
BAV21WS-7 is not AEC-Q200 qualified; however, Diodes offers the automotive-grade BAV21WSQ-7-F variant, which is PPAP-capable and manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities. The standard BAV21WS-7 meets JEDEC reliability standards but lacks automotive-specific qualification documentation and change control.
How does the SOD323 package affect soldering process compatibility?
The SOD323 package has J-STD-020 Level 1 moisture sensitivity and uses matte tin-plated alloy 42 leads, making it compatible with standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C). Its 0.30 mm lead width and 0.25–0.35 mm pitch require precise stencil aperture design and 0.15 mm solder paste thickness for reliable joint formation.
What is the typical reverse leakage current at elevated temperature?
At TJ = +100 °C and rated VRWM (200 V), the BAV21WS-7 exhibits ≤15 µA peak reverse current (IR), per DS30119 Rev. 23. This is significantly higher than its 100 nA value at +25 °C, confirming strong temperature dependence-critical for high-temp bias network design where leakage-induced offset must be modeled.
