BAV70DW-7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BAV70DW-7 is a general-purpose diode array featuring a 2-pair common cathode configuration rated for 75 V DC reverse voltage and 150 mA average rectified current per diode. This component is packaged in a 6-TSSOP (SC-88, SOT-363) surface mount package and is classified as a small-signal diode with a reverse recovery time of 4 nanoseconds.

The BAV70DW-7 is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Equivalent substitute parts are available from multiple manufacturers with identical electrical specifications and package compatibility, enabling direct replacement in existing designs.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BAV70DW-7 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Diode Configuration: 2 Pair Common Cathode (pin-compatible)
• Voltage Rating: 75 V DC reverse voltage (Vr)
• Current Rating: 150 mA average rectified current per diode (Io)
• Forward Voltage: 1.25 V maximum at 150 mA (Vf)
• Reverse Recovery Time: 4 ns (trr)
• Reverse Leakage Current: 2.5 µA at 75 V
• Package: 6-TSSOP, SC-88, SOT-363 (physical and electrical pin compatibility)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount

All substitute parts listed maintain identical electrical performance and physical compatibility. Variations in operating temperature range and RoHS compliance status are noted but do not affect functional substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

BAV70DW-7-F (Diodes Incorporated): This part is the direct equivalent from the original manufacturer. It maintains identical electrical specifications and operating temperature range (-65°C to 150°C) as the BAV70DW-7. The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus bulk) and RoHS3 compliance status. This part is recommended for applications requiring continuity with the original design specifications and manufacturer lineage. Inventory availability is substantial at 16,476 pieces.

BAV70DW-TP (Micro Commercial Co): This substitute provides identical electrical performance with ROHS3 compliance. The operating temperature range is -55°C to 150°C, which represents a narrower low-temperature specification compared to the original part. This part is suitable for applications where the minimum operating temperature requirement does not extend below -55°C. Inventory availability is 5,178 pieces.

BAV70DW_R1_00001 (Panjit International Inc.): This substitute offers identical electrical performance with ROHS3 compliance. The operating temperature range is -55°C to 150°C. This part is suitable for applications with operating temperature requirements between -55°C and 150°C. Inventory availability is 3,689 pieces.

Selection between substitute parts should be based on application temperature requirements, RoHS compliance mandates, and supply chain preferences. All three substitutes are electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the BAV70DW-7 within their specified operating temperature ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can BAV70DW-7-F be used as a direct replacement for BAV70DW-7?

A: Yes. The BAV70DW-7-F is electrically and mechanically identical to the BAV70DW-7. Both parts share the same diode configuration, voltage rating (75 V), current rating (150 mA), forward voltage (1.25 V @ 150 mA), reverse recovery time (4 ns), and SOT-363 package. The primary difference is packaging format and RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the difference between BAV70DW-7 and BAV70DW-TP?

A: Both parts are electrically equivalent with identical voltage, current, and switching characteristics. The BAV70DW-TP is manufactured by Micro Commercial Co and is ROHS3 compliant. The operating temperature range differs: BAV70DW-7 operates from -65°C to 150°C, while BAV70DW-TP operates from -55°C to 150°C. Selection depends on whether your application requires operation below -55°C.

Q: Are all substitute parts pin-compatible with the BAV70DW-7?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the 6-TSSOP (SC-88, SOT-363) package with identical pin assignments for the 2-pair common cathode diode array configuration. No PCB layout modifications are required.

Q: Does operating temperature range affect substitution suitability?

A: Operating temperature range affects substitution only if your application requires operation outside the substitute part's specified range. The BAV70DW-7 operates from -65°C to 150°C. The BAV70DW-TP and BAV70DW_R1_00001 operate from -55°C to 150°C. If your application requires operation below -55°C, use BAV70DW-7-F, which maintains the -65°C to 150°C range.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance in selecting a substitute?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory requirement in certain markets and applications. The BAV70DW-7 is RoHS non-compliant. All three substitute parts (BAV70DW-7-F, BAV70DW-TP, and BAV70DW_R1_00001) are ROHS3 compliant. If your application or market requires RoHS compliance, any of the three substitutes is suitable.

Q: Can I use BAV70DW_R1_00001 in place of BAV70DW-7?

A: Yes. The BAV70DW_R1_00001 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the BAV70DW-7. Both parts share identical voltage, current, and switching specifications. The operating temperature range is -55°C to 150°C for the BAV70DW_R1_00001 compared to -65°C to 150°C for the BAV70DW-7. Substitution is valid for applications operating within -55°C to 150°C.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these parts?

A: The BAV70DW-7 is available in bulk packaging. The BAV70DW-7-F, BAV70DW-TP, and BAV70DW_R1_00001 are available in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated assembly processes. Bulk packaging may be available through special order or alternative suppliers.
