Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the BAW156-7-G is determined by the following critical parameters:

Base Product Number Alignment: Both the main part and substitute share the BAW156 base product number, indicating they belong to the same component family and functional series.

Manufacturer Consistency: All substitute parts are manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, ensuring design continuity and manufacturing process compatibility.

Regulatory Compliance: Substitute parts maintain identical ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting the same environmental and regulatory requirements as the original component.

Moisture Sensitivity Level: Substitute parts retain MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, confirming compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage conditions.

Export Classification: Both parts carry the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0070) classifications, ensuring consistent regulatory treatment.

The BAW156-7-F is identified as a direct substitute based on these parameters and represents an active product status alternative to the obsolete BAW156-7-G.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: The BAW156-7-G is classified as obsolete, making the BAW156-7-F the appropriate active product alternative. The BAW156-7-F maintains full manufacturing support and availability through Diodes Incorporated.

Regulatory and Compliance Alignment: Both parts satisfy identical regulatory requirements under ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and export classifications (ECCN EAR99, HTSUS 8541.10.0070). No compliance barriers exist for substitution.

Moisture Sensitivity and Storage: Both components carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no special moisture control requirements during storage, handling, or manufacturing processes.

Base Product Family: The shared BAW156 base product number confirms that the BAW156-7-F is the direct successor within the same product family, designed to replace the obsolete BAW156-7-G variant.

Packaging and Mounting: The BAW156-7-F is specified for surface mount applications in SOT-23-3 package format, consistent with modern manufacturing standards for diode array components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the BAW156-7-G listed as obsolete?

A: The BAW156-7-G has reached end-of-life status with Diodes Incorporated. The BAW156-7-F represents the active product continuation within the BAW156 product family.

Q: Can the BAW156-7-F directly replace the BAW156-7-G in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share the same base product number (BAW156), manufacturer (Diodes Incorporated), and regulatory compliance status (ROHS3, REACH unaffected). The BAW156-7-F is the designated active substitute for the obsolete BAW156-7-G.

Q: What are the key electrical specifications of the BAW156-7-F?

A: The BAW156-7-F is configured as a 1 Pair Common Anode diode array with a maximum DC reverse voltage of 85 V, average rectified current of 140mA per diode, forward voltage of 1.1 V at 50 mA, and reverse recovery time of 3 µs. Operating temperature range is -65°C to 150°C.

Q: What package format does the BAW156-7-F use?

A: The BAW156-7-F is supplied in SOT-23-3 package format (also designated TO-236-3 or SC-59), a standard surface mount package for small signal diode arrays.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity concerns with the BAW156-7-F?

A: No. The BAW156-7-F carries MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no special moisture control requirements during manufacturing, storage, or handling.

Q: What is the availability status of the BAW156-7-F?

A: The BAW156-7-F is an active product with substantial inventory availability (125,100 pieces in stock as new original components).

Q: Are the export classifications identical between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both the BAW156-7-G and BAW156-7-F carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8541.10.0070) classifications, ensuring consistent regulatory treatment for export and import purposes.
