Vishay Silicon Junction Switching Diode 250 mA 200 V SOD-123 BAV20W-E3-18

Vishay BAV20W-E3-18 is a silicon junction switching diode designed for reliable, fast switching applications. It features a maximum forward current of 250 mA and a peak reverse voltage rating of 200 V ensuring suitability for high voltage rectification and snubber circuits. Packaged in a SOD-123 surface mount device with a compact 2.85 mm length, 1.7 mm width, and 1.25 mm height, this diode offers space-saving solutions for electronic circuits.

The device exhibits low leakage current typically less than 0.2 microamperes and fast switching with a peak reverse recovery time of 50 nanoseconds. It can dissipate up to 410 mW power and withstand peak non-repetitive forward surge currents up to 2.5 A, assuring enhanced durability under transient conditions.

The diode's glass passivated junction combined with a molded epoxy body meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating, providing exceptional reliability and safety. Matte tin plated leads conform to solderability standards J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102, facilitating ease of PCB assembly. Polarity is clearly marked with a color band denoting the cathode end to prevent installation errors.

Typical applications include high voltage rectification for G2 grid CRTs and TVs, as well as snubber circuits for camera flash units. Its industrial suitability spans electronic components manufacturing, repair, and design requiring dependable silicon switching diodes.

Manufactured in China, the BAV20W-E3-18 diode is a commercial-grade component free from automotive certification but widely employed in consumer and industrial electronics. The product's compact dimensions and fast switching attributes make it an ideal choice for efficient electronic switching and protection roles.
