Product details
Overview
BAV99-HE3_A-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a dual small-signal switching diode in series configuration housed in an SOT-23 package, rated for 70 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 350 mA forward current, and 6 ns reverse recovery time - used in high-speed polarity protection and signal clamping circuits in automotive body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the BAV99-HE3_A-08 datasheet, BAV99-HE3_A-08 pinout, BAV99-HE3_A-08 application, or BAV99-HE3_A-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, 1.5 pF diode capacitance at 0 V, 100 nA reverse leakage at 70 V, thermal resistance of 460 K/W on FR-4, and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
The BAV99-HE3_A-08 integrates two silicon epitaxial planar diodes connected in series within a single SOT-23 package, enabling bidirectional clamping or sequential conduction paths without external wiring. Its fast 6 ns trr and low 1.5 pF capacitance support RF detector and high-frequency logic interface applications up to 100 MHz.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, it meets AEC-Q101 stress testing requirements including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock. The device operates across -55 °C to +150 °C and features MSL 1 moisture sensitivity with UL 94 V-0 compliant molding compound.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-series diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV99W-HE3-08 | SOT-323 package (smaller footprint); identical electrical specs and AEC-Q101 qualification | Better suited for space-constrained layouts where 1.3 mm × 1.75 mm SOT-323 is preferred over SOT-23 | Select when board real estate is critical and rework tolerance for smaller pitch is acceptable |
| MMBD7000-HE3-08 | Same SOT-23 package but dual diodes in common-cathode configuration; 100 V VRRM, 4 ns trr | Optimized for bidirectional clamping rather than unidirectional series blocking | Choose for ESD protection where symmetric voltage limiting is required instead of directional current flow |
Compared with BAV99-HE3_A-08, BAV99W-HE3-08 offers identical performance in a smaller footprint, while MMBD7000-HE3-08 shifts functionality toward bidirectional clamping - making the former a layout-reduction alternative and the latter a topology-alternative for different circuit roles.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of the BAV99-HE3_A-08?
The BAV99-HE3_A-08 uses a 3-pin SOT-23 package with Pin 1 as Anode of Diode 1, Pin 2 as the internal connection between Cathode of Diode 1 and Anode of Diode 2 (not externally accessible), and Pin 3 as Cathode of Diode 2. This series configuration is fixed and non-reconfigurable. The BAV99-HE3_A-08 marking on the top surface aligns with standard SOT-23 orientation diagrams in Vishay's mechanical drawings.
Is the BAV99-HE3_A-08 suitable for automotive applications?
Yes, the BAV99-HE3_A-08 is explicitly AEC-Q101 qualified, tested across temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock per automotive stress requirements. It operates from -55 °C to +150 °C and features UL 94 V-0 molding compound - making it suitable for engine bay, body control, and lighting modules. The BAV99-HE3_A-08 meets these criteria without derating under nominal conditions.
What is the maximum reverse voltage rating for the BAV99-HE3_A-08?
The BAV99-HE3_A-08 has a repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 70 V and a non-repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRM) of 100 V. These ratings apply across the full operating temperature range and are validated per Vishay's absolute maximum ratings table. The BAV99-HE3_A-08 must not be subjected to sustained reverse bias exceeding 70 V in continuous operation.
How does the BAV99-HE3_A-08 compare to standard single diodes in terms of layout efficiency?
The BAV99-HE3_A-08 integrates two series-connected diodes in one SOT-23 footprint, eliminating the need for two separate SOT-23 placements, interconnecting traces, and associated solder joints. This reduces PCB area by approximately 40% versus discrete implementation and improves reliability by minimizing interconnect failure points. The BAV99-HE3_A-08 achieves this without compromising electrical performance - maintaining 6 ns trr and 1.5 pF CD.
What packaging options are available for the BAV99-HE3_A-08?
The BAV99-HE3_A-08 is supplied in 8 mm tape on 7″ reels containing 3,000 units per reel, with minimum order quantity of 15,000 units per box. This packaging supports high-speed pick-and-place assembly and complies with EIA-481 standards. Tape orientation follows standard SOT-23 carrier tape specifications, and the BAV99-HE3_A-08 marking is laser-etched for machine readability.
