Product details
Overview
BAW156-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a dual surface-mount low-leakage silicon switching diode in SOT23 package, rated for 85 V peak repetitive reverse voltage, 160 mA forward current per diode, and exhibiting ≤5 nA leakage at 75 V and 25°C. It serves as a precision signal clamping or polarity protection element in low-power analog front-ends and sensor interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAW156-7-F datasheet, BAW156-7-F pinout, BAW156-7-F application, or BAW156-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low IR (≤5 nA @ 75 V), fast trr (≤3.0 µs), dual-diode integration in SOT23, and AEC-Q101 qualification of the automotive-grade BAW156Q variant.
Technical Context
The BAW156-7-F integrates two independent silicon PN junction diodes in a single SOT23-3 package with common cathode configuration confirmed by internal schematic and top-view marking. Its design targets low-current signal routing where leakage-induced offset error must be minimized - especially in high-impedance nodes such as op-amp inputs or ADC reference paths.
Thermal performance is defined by RθJA = 500°C/W on FR-4 board with recommended pad layout, enabling operation up to +150°C junction temperature. The device uses matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe and green molding compound compliant with RoHS 3 and halogen/antimony-free requirements.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 85 V - supports DC blocking in 24 V industrial control rails and 48 V telecom interfaces without breakdown |
| IFM (per diode) | 160 mA - sufficient for biasing photodiodes, driving LED indicators, or low-duty-cycle logic-level clamping |
| IR @ 75 V, 25°C | ≤5 nA - ensures <1 µV offset error in 200 MΩ sensor bridge arms at room temperature |
| trr | ≤3.0 µs - enables reliable operation in 100 kHz–500 kHz signal conditioning and sample-hold circuits |
| CT @ 0 V, 1 MHz | 3 pF - minimizes capacitive loading on high-frequency analog signals (<100 MHz) and RF detector inputs |
| RθJA | 500 °C/W - requires derating to 125 mW at +75°C ambient for continuous operation on standard PCBs |
Pinout & Package

| 2 | Cathode (common) | Shared output node tied to reference rail (e.g., VCC or ground); defines dual-diode topology |
| 3 | Anode of Diode 2 | Input node for second independent clamping path; enables differential or complementary signal handling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual low-leakage diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV99-7-F | Higher IR (≤10 nA @ 75 V), same SOT23-3 package and VRRM (85 V) | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; not approved for automotive underhood use | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs leakage-critical performance and automotive compliance |
| MMBD7000LT1G | Lower VRRM (70 V), higher CT (4 pF), same IR spec (≤5 nA @ 75 V) | Not rated for 85 V systems; unsuitable for 48 V industrial bus protection | Choose only for sub-70 V applications where tighter capacitance tolerance is unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of BAW156-7-F?
The BAW156-7-F uses a SOT23-3 package with Pin 1 = Anode 1, Pin 2 = Common Cathode, Pin 3 = Anode 2. This common-cathode dual-diode arrangement is verified in the internal schematic diagram on page 2 of DS30231 Rev. 11-2 and matches the top-view marking "K53" orientation.
Is BAW156-7-F suitable for automotive applications?
The BAW156-7-F itself is not AEC-Q101 qualified; however, its automotive-grade variant BAW156Q-7-F is fully qualified, PPAP-capable, and manufactured in IATF16949-certified facilities. For production automotive use, BAW156Q-7-F must be specified.
How does BAW156-7-F perform at elevated temperature?
At +150°C junction temperature, leakage increases to ≤80 nA at 75 V, and forward voltage drops by ~200 mV versus 25°C. Power dissipation must be derated linearly above +25°C using RθJA = 500°C/W, limiting PD to 125 mW at +75°C ambient.
Can BAW156-7-F replace BAV99 in existing designs?
Yes, BAW156-7-F is pin-compatible with BAV99-7-F and offers lower leakage (≤5 nA vs. ≤10 nA), identical VRRM (85 V), and same SOT23-3 footprint. No layout change is needed, but verify that reduced leakage improves system accuracy without affecting bias network stability.
