BAS16 RFG Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BAS16 RFG is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Corporation, rated for 75 V DC reverse voltage and 150 mA average rectified current in a surface mount SOT-23 package. This component is classified as Active and complies with RoHS3 and REACH standards. Substitute parts are identified based on matching or exceeding electrical specifications while maintaining mechanical compatibility with the SOT-23-3 (TO-236) package footprint.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BAS16 RFG are qualified based on the following criteria:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) rating must equal or exceed 75 V
Current - Average Rectified (Io) rating must equal or exceed 150 mA
Voltage - Forward (Vf) must not exceed 1.25 V @ 150 mA
Operating temperature range must encompass or exceed -65°C to 150°C

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

Package / Case must be TO-236-3, SC-59, or SOT-23-3
Mounting type must be Surface Mount

Compliance Requirements:

RoHS3 Compliant status required
REACH Unaffected or compliant status required

Parts meeting these criteria are considered direct substitutes. Deviations in secondary parameters (reverse recovery time, reverse leakage current, capacitance) do not disqualify substitution when primary electrical and mechanical requirements are satisfied.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BAS116LT1G (onsemi) is the primary substitute for BAS16 RFG. This part meets all electrical compatibility requirements with equal reverse voltage rating (75 V) and exceeds current capacity (200 mA vs. 150 mA). Forward voltage characteristics are identical. The part maintains SOT-23-3 package compatibility and holds Active product status with RoHS3 compliance. Reverse recovery time differs (3 µs vs. 4 ns) and reverse leakage is lower (5 nA vs. 1 µA), representing acceptable secondary parameter variations. Packaging is specified as Tape & Reel (TR), providing standard surface mount assembly compatibility.

BAS16 (Infineon Technologies) meets electrical compatibility requirements with higher reverse voltage rating (85 V) and exceeds current capacity (200 mA vs. 150 mA). Forward voltage and package specifications are identical. However, this part carries Obsolete product status, indicating discontinued manufacturing and potential supply chain constraints. The operating temperature range is narrower (-55°C to 150°C vs. -65°C to 150°C). Selection of this part is not recommended for new designs due to obsolescence.

For applications requiring the BAS16 RFG, the BAS116LT1G from onsemi is the qualified substitute with Active status and full compliance certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BAS116LT1G replace BAS16 RFG in all applications?

A: Yes. The BAS116LT1G meets or exceeds all primary electrical specifications (reverse voltage, forward voltage, current rating) and maintains identical SOT-23-3 package compatibility. Both parts are Active with RoHS3 compliance.

Q: What is the difference in reverse recovery time between BAS16 RFG and BAS116LT1G?

A: BAS16 RFG has a reverse recovery time of 4 ns, while BAS116LT1G has 3 µs. This difference reflects different semiconductor technologies but does not prevent substitution when application switching frequency requirements are within the BAS116LT1G specification.

Q: Why is the Infineon BAS16 listed as Obsolete?

A: The Infineon BAS16 carries Obsolete product status, indicating the manufacturer has discontinued this part. Obsolete parts present supply and long-term availability risks and are not recommended for new designs.

Q: Are the SOT-23 and SOT-23-3 packages identical?

A: SOT-23-3 and TO-236-3 are equivalent designations for the same three-lead surface mount package. All listed parts use this package standard and are mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference between BAS16 RFG and substitute parts?

A: BAS16 RFG operates from -65°C to 150°C. BAS116LT1G and Infineon BAS16 operate from -55°C to 150°C. For applications requiring operation below -55°C, BAS16 RFG is required.

Q: Are all listed parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. BAS16 RFG, BAS116LT1G, and Infineon BAS16 all carry RoHS3 Compliant status.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 mean?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements. Both BAS16 RFG and BAS116LT1G carry MSL 1 rating.
