Vishay Silicon Junction Switching Diode Common Cathode 250 mA 70 V SOT-23 BAV70-E3-08

The Vishay BAV70-E3-08 is a Silicon Junction Switching Diode featuring a common cathode configuration designed for fast switching and high efficiency in electronic circuits. Rated for a maximum forward current of 250 mA and peak reverse voltage of 70 V, this diode is housed in a compact SOT-23 surface mount package with 3 pins measuring 3.1 mm in length, 1.43 mm in width, and 1.05 mm in height. It provides a maximum power dissipation of 350 mW and a maximum forward voltage drop of 1.25 V.

Its superectifier structure and cavity-free glass-passivated junction ensure high reliability with a low leakage current typically below 0.2 μA. The diode supports fast switching with a peak reverse recovery time of just 6 ns, making it highly suitable for high-speed applications such as high voltage rectification of G2 grid in CRT and TV, snubber circuits for camera flashes, and other industrial and consumer electronics.

The device operates effectively within a wide temperature range from -55°C to 150°C, meeting commercial grade standards. The diode’s terminals feature matte tin plated leads that are solderable according to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102 requirements, ensuring robustness and ease of assembly. Its epoxy molded DO-204AL case provides mechanical protection and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability ratings.

This diode is a reliable component extensively used in electronics, telecommunications, and industrial manufacturing sectors requiring efficient switching and rectification functions in compact footprint designs.
