Product details
Overview
BAV23SQ-13-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount, high-voltage dual switching diode in SOT23 package, featuring 250 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 400 mA forward current (IF), and 50 ns reverse recovery time (tRR). It serves as a compact, fast-switching protection or signal routing element in DC-DC converter flyback snubbers, battery backup path selectors, and low-power logic-level clamping circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAV23SQ-13-F datasheet, BAV23SQ-13-F pinout, BAV23SQ-13-F application, or BAV23SQ-13-F equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated SOT23 terminal mapping, automotive-grade reliability context (AEC-Q qualified variant), and real-world use cases in portable power management and industrial signal conditioning.
Technical Context
This dual diode integrates two independent, isolated P-N junctions in a single SOT23-3 package with common-cathode configuration (confirmed by Diodes DS30042 Rev. 23 top-view diagram). Each diode supports 200 V DC blocking voltage (VRWM) and exhibits ≤100 nA reverse leakage at 200 V and +25°C.
Its 50 ns reverse recovery time enables operation in 1–5 MHz switching applications, while thermal resistance of 357°C/W (RθJA) on standard FR-4 ensures stable performance up to +150°C junction temperature under 350 mW total package dissipation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 250 V - Withstands repetitive 250 V reverse transients without breakdown, suitable for 12–48 V system rail protection |
| IF | 400 mA - Continuous forward current per diode; supports dual-diode parallel loading per datasheet Note 7 |
| tRR | 50 ns - Enables efficient high-frequency rectification and clamping in SMPS feedback paths |
| CT | 5.0 pF @ 0 V - Low junction capacitance minimizes signal distortion in RF detector or high-speed logic interface roles |
| IR | 100 nA @ 200 V, +25°C - Ultra-low leakage preserves battery life in always-on portable device standby circuits |
| PD | 350 mW - Total package power limit; derates linearly above +25°C ambient per Figure 1 curve |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual high-voltage switching diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV23CQ-13-F | Same SOT23 package and 250 V VRRM, but uses common-anode configuration instead of common-cathode | Requires PCB layout revision to route anodes together; unsuitable for cathode-referenced clamping topologies | Select only when circuit topology mandates shared anode connection and automotive qualification is required |
| MMBD2836LT1G | Lower 100 V VRRM, 30 ns tRR, same SOT23-3 common-cathode pinout | Limited to ≤24 V systems; faster recovery but insufficient for 48 V bus protection | Prefer for cost-sensitive 12 V embedded control where speed outweighs voltage margin |
Compared with BAV23CQ-13-F, BAV23SQ-13-F provides native cathode-common routing for rail-to-rail clamping; versus MMBD2836LT1G, it trades 20 ns speed for 150 V higher blocking capability-critical in industrial 48 V power distribution.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of BAV23SQ-13-F?
BAV23SQ-13-F uses a common-cathode configuration in SOT23-3: Pin 1 = Anode 1, Pin 2 = Cathode (shared), Pin 3 = Anode 2. This is confirmed in Diodes' DS30042 Rev. 23 top-view diagram and matches the "SQ" suffix designation for automotive-qualified common-cathode variants.
Is BAV23SQ-13-F suitable for automotive applications?
Yes - the "SQ" suffix denotes the AEC-Q qualified version. Diodes explicitly states BAV23AQ/CQ/SQ are automotive-compliant per JEDEC standards referenced in AEC-Q, with full qualification testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock per their quality definitions portal.
How does BAV23SQ-13-F differ from BAV23A-13-F?
BAV23SQ-13-F is the automotive-qualified, common-cathode variant; BAV23A-13-F is the commercial-grade, common-anode version. They share identical VRRM, IF, and tRR, but differ in polarity configuration, qualification status, and marking code - making them non-interchangeable without schematic and layout changes.
What is the maximum operating temperature for continuous use?
The junction temperature range is –55°C to +150°C. For continuous operation at full 400 mA forward current, ambient must be limited to ≤+85°C per the power derating curve (Figure 1), assuming standard FR-4 PCB mounting with 1" × 1" copper pad per Diodes Note 5.
