BAV16W Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BAV16W is a general-purpose rectifier diode manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions, rated for 75 V DC reverse voltage and 150 mA average rectified current in a surface mount SOD-123 package. This component is classified as a small signal diode with reverse recovery time of 6 ns, suitable for applications requiring fast switching characteristics. The BAV16W maintains Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, extended voltage ratings, or increased current capacity requirements while maintaining package compatibility and surface mount technology.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BAV16W is determined by the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Package Compatibility: All substitute parts must use SOD-123 surface mount package to ensure mechanical and thermal compatibility with existing PCB layouts and assembly processes.

Voltage Rating: Substitute parts must maintain a DC reverse voltage rating equal to or greater than 75 V to ensure safe operation in the intended application circuit.

Current Rating: Substitute parts must support an average rectified current equal to or greater than 150 mA to handle the design load requirements.

Technology Classification: Substitute parts must be classified as rectifier diodes with standard or fast recovery characteristics suitable for general-purpose applications.

Compliance Requirements: Substitute parts must maintain RoHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating to satisfy environmental and manufacturing process requirements.

The BAV19W-E3-08 qualifies as a substitute part based on these criteria, offering enhanced electrical specifications (100 V reverse voltage, 250 mA current capacity) while maintaining SOD-123 package compatibility and full compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (BAV16W): Select the BAV16W when the application circuit operates at or below 75 V reverse voltage with maximum current requirements of 150 mA. This part is recommended for designs requiring the fastest reverse recovery time (6 ns) and lowest forward voltage drop at low current levels (855 mV @ 10 mA). Both the main part and substitute maintain Active product status with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute Selection (BAV19W-E3-08): Select the BAV19W-E3-08 when the application requires higher voltage margin (100 V rating) or increased current capacity (250 mA). This substitute part is suitable for designs where component inventory of the primary part is unavailable or where design specifications allow for the extended electrical ratings. The BAV19W-E3-08 maintains identical package compatibility (SOD-123 surface mount), operating temperature range, and compliance certifications as the BAV16W.

Compliance Verification: Both parts satisfy RoHS3 compliance requirements and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, confirming compatibility with standard surface mount assembly processes and storage conditions. Both parts are classified as Active products with ongoing manufacturer support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BAV19W-E3-08 directly replace the BAV16W in existing designs?

A: The BAV19W-E3-08 is mechanically compatible with the BAV16W due to identical SOD-123 surface mount packaging. Electrical compatibility depends on circuit design parameters. The substitute part operates at higher voltage (100 V vs. 75 V) and current (250 mA vs. 150 mA) ratings, making it suitable for applications where the BAV16W specifications are met or exceeded. The substitute exhibits longer reverse recovery time (50 ns vs. 6 ns) and higher forward voltage drop at elevated current levels, which may affect circuit performance in time-critical or low-voltage applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between the BAV16W and BAV19W-E3-08?

A: The BAV19W-E3-08 provides higher electrical ratings across voltage (100 V vs. 75 V) and current (250 mA vs. 150 mA) specifications. The BAV16W offers faster switching characteristics with 6 ns reverse recovery time compared to 50 ns for the substitute. Both parts maintain identical SOD-123 package form factor and surface mount compatibility.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-frequency switching applications?

A: The BAV16W is classified as a small signal diode with 6 ns reverse recovery time, suitable for high-frequency switching. The BAV19W-E3-08 is classified as a fast recovery diode with 50 ns reverse recovery time, suitable for moderate-frequency switching applications. Selection depends on specific frequency requirements of the target application.

Q: Do both parts meet environmental and compliance requirements?

A: Both the BAV16W and BAV19W-E3-08 are RoHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. Both parts maintain Active product status. The BAV16W carries REACH Affected status, while the BAV19W-E3-08 carries REACH Unaffected status. Compliance verification with specific regulatory requirements should be performed based on end-application jurisdiction.

Q: What packaging options are available for these parts?

A: The BAV16W is supplied in standard packaging (specific packaging type not specified in available data). The BAV19W-E3-08 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Both parts use identical SOD-123 component package for surface mount assembly. Packaging format selection depends on manufacturing volume and assembly process requirements.
