Product details
Overview
BAV21WSQ-7-F 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 BAV21WSQ-7-F datasheet, BAV21WSQ-7-F pinout, BAV21WSQ-7-F application, or BAV21WSQ-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include its 250 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, high-voltage clamp and snubber designs.
Technical Context
This diode operates as a unidirectional silicon PN junction device optimized for fast transient response and high-voltage blocking. Its 250 V VRRM enables use in 200 V DC-blocking paths, while 50 ns tRR supports switching frequencies up to ~10 MHz in clamp and snubber roles.
The SOD323 package delivers low thermal resistance (625 °C/W) and minimal parasitic capacitance (5.0 pF at 0 V), making it suitable for space-constrained, thermally sensitive applications where rapid turn-off and low charge storage are required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 250 V - supports DC blocking in 200 V nominal systems with 25% safety margin |
| tRR | 50 ns - enables reliable operation in flyback snubbers switching at ≤10 MHz |
| VF | 1.25 V @ 200 mA - limits conduction loss to ≤250 mW in continuous 200 mA paths |
| CT | 5.0 pF @ 0 V - minimizes signal distortion in RF detector and high-speed clamp circuits |
| RθJA | 625 °C/W - requires ≤320 mW derated power at +85°C ambient on standard FR-4 |
| IO | 200 mA average - sustains continuous rectification in low-power auxiliary supplies |
| PD | 200 mW - defines maximum steady-state dissipation on 1-inch² copper pad |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV21W-7-F | Same electrical specs but non-automotive grade; no Q-suffix qualification | Lacks AEC-Q200 qualification and PPAP documentation support | Select when automotive change control and traceability are not required |
| 1N4148W-7-F | Lower VRRM (100 V), slower tRR (4 ns typical but not guaranteed at high VR) | Not rated for >150 V blocking; unsuitable for 48 V+ snubbers | Use only in ≤36 V logic-level clamping where speed dominates voltage rating |
Compared with BAV21WSQ-7-F, BAV21W-7-F offers identical performance without automotive compliance overhead, while 1N4148W-7-F trades voltage capability for slightly faster nominal tRR - making the Q-suffix part optimal for AEC-Q200-compliant 200–250 V clamp and snubber roles.

FAQ
What is the meaning of the 'Q' suffix in BAV21WSQ-7-F?
The 'Q' suffix denotes AEC-Q200 qualification, confirming that the device is manufactured in an IATF 16949-certified facility, supports PPAP documentation, and meets automotive-grade change control requirements - including extended temperature operation (−55°C to +150°C) and enhanced reliability testing beyond standard commercial parts.
Is BAV21WSQ-7-F pin-compatible with BAV21WS-7-F?
Yes - both share identical SOD323 package dimensions, anode/cathode terminal layout, and marking orientation. The only difference is qualification status: BAV21WSQ-7-F includes full AEC-Q200 documentation and traceability, while BAV21WS-7-F is commercial-grade with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.
Does this diode require derating above +25°C ambient?
Yes - power dissipation must be linearly derated above +25°C using the 625 °C/W thermal resistance. At +85°C ambient, maximum allowable PD drops to 125 mW (200 mW × [1 − (85−25)/625]), requiring careful layout with adequate copper area to maintain junction temperature below +150°C.
Can BAV21WSQ-7-F replace 1N4007 in high-voltage rectifier applications?
No - the 1N4007 is a 1 A, 1000 V general-purpose rectifier in DO-41 package, while BAV21WSQ-7-F is a 200 mA, 250 V fast-switching diode in SOD323. It lacks the surge current rating (IFSM = 1.7 A vs. 30 A) and thermal mass for mains-frequency rectification; it is intended for high-speed, low-current clamping-not bulk power conversion.
