Product details
Overview
BAW156T-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount ultra-low-leakage dual diode in SOT-523 package, rated for 85 V peak reverse voltage, 125 mA forward current per diode, and 5.0 nA max leakage 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-F datasheet, BAW156T-7-F pinout, BAW156T-7-F application, or BAW156T-7-F equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse leakage stability over temperature, dual-diode symmetry for balanced clamping, SOT-523 footprint compatibility, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
This dual diode integrates two identical, isolated silicon junctions in a single ultra-small SOT-523 package, enabling compact bidirectional ESD protection or precision DC-level clamping without cross-coupling. Its 2 pF typical junction capacitance and 3.0 μs reverse recovery time support high-frequency signal integrity in 10–100 MHz analog front-ends.
The device operates across –65°C to +150°C with 833°C/W thermal resistance (junction-to-ambient), and maintains ≤80 nA leakage at 75 V and 150°C - critical for low-power battery-operated sensor nodes where standby current must remain sub-100 nA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 85 V - supports clamping of transients up to 85 V without breakdown in automotive 12 V systems. |
| IF (per diode) | 125 mA - enables use in moderate-current bias networks and active termination circuits. |
| IR @ 75 V, 25°C | 5.0 nA max - ensures minimal signal path loading in high-impedance sensor amplifiers. |
| CT @ 0 V, 1 MHz | 2 pF typ - preserves bandwidth in RF detector and IF filter applications up to 500 MHz. |
| trr | 3.0 μs - suitable for <100 kHz switching clamping; not intended for high-speed rectification. |
| PD | 150 mW - limits continuous power dissipation to avoid thermal runaway on FR-4 PCBs with standard pad layout. |
| RθJA | 833°C/W - requires careful thermal pad design or derating above 75°C ambient for sustained operation. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-523 package: 3-terminal, single-row surface-mount outline with anode-cathode-anode configuration (pin 1 = anode, pin 2 = cathode, pin 3 = anode); molded green compound, RoHS-compliant matte tin plating, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode of Diode 1 | Connects to signal source or positive rail for unidirectional clamping or polarity protection. |
| Pin 2 | Cathode (common) | Shared cathode node enables dual-anode configuration for bidirectional transient suppression. |
| Pin 3 | Anode of Diode 2 | Provides symmetrical second anode for differential clamping or dual-rail protection schemes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive under-hood applications including engine control sensors and body electronics. |
| Ultra-low leakage (5 nA) | Enables direct integration into µA-level bias chains without degrading offset or drift in precision op-amp circuits. |
| SOT-523 footprint | 0.8 × 1.6 mm outline saves >60% board area vs. SOT-23, critical for space-constrained ADAS modules. |
| Green molding compound | Halogen-free, UL 94V-0 rated material meets automotive OEM environmental compliance requirements (e.g., GMW3172). |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAV199T-7-F | Same SOT-523 package, but higher leakage (50 nA @ 75 V) and lower VRRM (70 V). | Acceptable for non-automotive consumer interfaces where leakage >20 nA is tolerable. | Select when cost priority outweighs leakage-critical performance and AEC-Q101 is not required. |
| NSR0230HT1G | Single diode, SOD-523, 30 V VRRM, 100 nA leakage - no dual configuration or AEC-Q101 rating. | Limited to unidirectional clamping; unsuitable for balanced or differential protection. | Only viable if redesign allows separate discrete diodes and automotive qualification is waived. |
Compared with BAV199T-7-F and NSR0230HT1G, BAW156T-7-F uniquely delivers AEC-Q101 qualification, 5 nA leakage, and dual-anode symmetry in SOT-523 - making it the only drop-in solution for automotive-grade bidirectional clamping where leakage and reliability are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of BAW156T-7-F?
BAW156T-7-F uses a 3-pin SOT-523 package with pin 1 = anode of diode 1, pin 2 = common cathode, and pin 3 = anode of diode 2. This dual-anode configuration enables bidirectional clamping without external wiring changes, and matches the mechanical layout shown in Diodes Inc. DS30258 Rev. 12–2, page 1 top view diagram.
Is BAW156T-7-F suitable for high-temperature automotive applications?
Yes - BAW156T-7-F is qualified to AEC-Q101 and specified for operation from –65°C to +150°C. Its leakage remains ≤80 nA at 75 V and 150°C, and its 833°C/W RθJA allows safe operation at full rated current up to 75°C ambient when mounted per Diodes' recommended FR-4 pad layout (AP02001).
How does BAW156T-7-F compare to BAS116T-7-F in leakage performance?
BAW156T-7-F specifies 5.0 nA max leakage at 75 V and 25°C, while BAS116T-7-F (single diode, same package) specifies 10 nA max under identical conditions. The tighter leakage spec reflects process optimization for dual-diode matching and low-noise applications such as precision sensor biasing.
Can BAW156T-7-F be used in place of BAV170T-7-F?
No - BAV170T-7-F is a dual-series diode (anode–cathode–anode–cathode), whereas BAW156T-7-F is dual-common-cathode (anode–cathode–anode). Their internal connectivity differs fundamentally: BAW156T supports bidirectional clamping to a shared reference, while BAV170T enables series-connected forward conduction paths.
