Product details
Overview
BAW156T-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount ultra-low-leakage dual diode in SOT-523 package, rated for 85 V peak reverse voltage and 125 mA forward current per diode, with typical leakage of 5.0 nA at 75 V and 25°C - used in precision signal clamping and ESD protection circuits in automotive sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the BAW156T-7 datasheet, BAW156T-7 pinout, BAW156T-7 application, or BAW156T-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse leakage at elevated temperature, reverse recovery time under 3.0 μs, dual-diode configuration in sub-2 mm² footprint, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This dual diode integrates two independent low-leakage PN junctions in a single SOT-523 package, sharing no internal connection - each anode and cathode are separately accessible. Its 833°C/W thermal resistance and 150 mW power dissipation reflect FR-4 board mounting with recommended pad layout.
The device operates across –65°C to +150°C, with leakage rising to 80 nA at 75 V and 150°C, and exhibits 2 pF junction capacitance at 0 V bias and 1 MHz - enabling stable high-frequency signal routing without loading.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 85 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage each diode withstands without breakdown |
| IF (per diode) | 125 mA DC - continuous forward current rating per diode at 25°C ambient |
| IR @ 75 V, 25°C | 5.0 nA - ultra-low leakage critical for precision biasing and sample-hold circuits |
| trr | 3.0 μs - fast reverse recovery supports >300 kHz switching in clamp/protect applications |
| CT @ 0 V, 1 MHz | 2 pF - minimal junction capacitance preserves signal integrity in RF and analog front-ends |
| RθJA | 833°C/W - thermal resistance defines derating curve: full power only below 50°C ambient |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - meets stress test requirements for automotive electronics including temperature cycling and HTRB |
Pinout & Package
SOT-523 is a 3-terminal ultra-miniature plastic package (1.60 × 0.80 × 0.50 mm), with terminals plated in matte tin over Alloy 42 leadframe. Polarity is marked on top surface: "53" for BAW156T-7, with cathode band adjacent to terminal 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode of Diode 1 | Input node for first diode's forward conduction path; connects to signal source in clamp topology |
| 2 | Cathode of Diode 1 / Anode of Diode 2 | Common node - enables series-connected dual-diode configurations like bidirectional TVS or level-shift clamps |
| 3 | Cathode of Diode 2 | Output node for second diode; ties to reference rail or ground in protection circuits |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive underhood environments - supports engine control, ABS, and cabin sensor modules |
| SOT-523 footprint | 1.60 × 0.80 mm - saves >65% board area vs. SOT-23 while maintaining solderability and reflow compatibility |
| Green molding compound | UL 94V-0 rated, halogen-free - satisfies IPC-1752A environmental compliance for Tier 1 automotive supply chains |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAS116T-7-F | Single diode, same SOT-523 package, identical VRRM (85 V) and IR (5 nA), but no dual configuration | Requires two devices for dual-clamp function; increases board area and assembly cost | Select when only one clamping path is needed or layout allows discrete placement |
| BAV199T-7-F | Dual diode in same package, but higher IR (50 nA @ 75 V) and slower trr (4.0 μs); not AEC-Q101 qualified | Suitable for non-automotive consumer systems where leakage and speed are less critical | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial controls where AEC-Q101 is not mandated |
Compared with BAS116T-7-F and BAV199T-7-F, BAW156T-7 uniquely delivers dual-diode functionality with automotive-grade leakage performance and speed in the smallest possible footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability analog protection where both channels must share a common node.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of BAW156T-7?
BAW156T-7 uses a 3-pin SOT-523 package with Pin 1 = Anode of Diode 1, Pin 2 = Cathode of Diode 1 / Anode of Diode 2 (common node), and Pin 3 = Cathode of Diode 2. Polarity is marked by a cathode band adjacent to Pin 3 and top-side marking "53".
Is BAW156T-7 suitable for high-temperature automotive applications?
Yes - BAW156T-7 is AEC-Q101 qualified and specified for operation from –65°C to +150°C. Its leakage rises to 80 nA at 75 V and 150°C, remaining within design margins for under-hood sensor interface clamping circuits.
How does BAW156T-7 compare to BAV199T-7-F in ESD protection?
BAW156T-7 offers lower leakage (5 nA vs. 50 nA) and faster recovery (3.0 μs vs. 4.0 μs) than BAV199T-7-F, making it superior for precision analog paths where DC offset and transient fidelity matter - though both meet IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD immunity when properly laid out.
Can BAW156T-7 replace BAS116T-7 in existing designs?
No - BAS116T-7 is a single diode; BAW156T-7 is a dual diode with shared terminal (Pin 2). Direct replacement requires schematic and layout revision to accommodate the common-node architecture and verify that dual-diode behavior aligns with system-level clamping requirements.
