Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BAV23CVL are classified into two categories based on electrical parameter alignment:

Parametric Equivalents maintain identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: 200 V DC reverse voltage, 225 mA average rectified current, 1.25 V forward voltage at 200 mA, 50 ns reverse recovery time, and 100 nA reverse leakage current. These parts are direct functional replacements with no derating required.

Similar Parts exceed the electrical specifications of the BAV23CVL while maintaining the same diode configuration, package form factor, and mounting technology. These parts operate within the same application envelope but provide enhanced voltage and current ratings.

The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Cathode (required)
Package / Case: TO-236-3, SC-59, SOT-23-3 (required)
Mounting Type: Surface Mount (required)
Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): ≥ 200 V (minimum requirement)
