Product Overview
The BAV70 puts two switching diodes in one SOT-23 with their cathodes tied together, a Philips catalog part that Nexperia still publishes. The photo shows a length of black embossed carrier tape laid across brown board, pockets filled and clear cover tape on, sprocket holes running along the top edge, with one loose piece set below the strip beside a ballpoint pen tip for scale. 2300 of this part number are on the shelf, sold one at a time.
Key Features
- Type: dual switching diode, common cathode, two diodes in one package
- Repetitive peak reverse voltage: 75 V (V_RRM, per Nexperia's published BAV70 data)
- Forward current: 200 mA per diode, per Nexperia's published BAV70 data
- Forward voltage: 1.25 V maximum at 150 mA, per the same published data
- Reverse recovery time: 6 ns maximum, per the same published data
- Diode capacitance: 1.5 pF maximum, per the same published data
- Total power dissipation: 350 mW, carried over from this listing's own existing copy
- Package: SOT-23, three leads, surface mount
- Verify against Nexperia's published BAV70 data before designing in.
Applications
- Input protection clamps on logic and converter pins
- Diode-OR and signal steering on small-signal lines
- Fast switching in RF and IF stages
- Surface mount board repair calling out a dual common-cathode SOT-23
Frequently Asked Questions
How many should I order?
Order the count the build needs. 2300 of this part number are on the shelf, sold one at a time, and since each piece carries two diodes a clamp pair is one line rather than two. Shipping is $8 flat rate and free on orders over $28, so small parts like this ship smartest as part of a larger order.
Why is the part number shorter than it was on the old title?
Because the letter the old title hung on the end of it is not a published Philips or Nexperia code, and we could not find it in any catalog. The suffixes this part genuinely takes are packing codes, written after a comma as ,215 or ,235, and they describe the reel rather than the die. Rather than carry an unsupported letter into a part number you are going to paste into a search box, this page lists it as BAV70 and describes only what the photo actually shows: a strip of embossed carrier tape with the pockets filled and the cover tape still on, plus one loose piece alongside it. That is the photograph rather than a statement of how an order is packed.
Two diodes and a shared cathode, in a package smaller than the word used to name it.
