BAW56T-7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The BAW56T-7 is a general-purpose diode array manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, configured as a 1 Pair Common Anode device rated for 85 V DC reverse voltage and 75 mA average rectified current per diode. The component is housed in a SOT-523 surface mount package and operates across a junction temperature range of -65°C to 150°C.

The BAW56T-7 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for production and repair applications. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility while meeting current compliance and availability requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the BAW56T-7 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence. The following electrical and mechanical parameters must match exactly to establish a valid substitution relationship:

• Diode Configuration: 1 Pair Common Anode
• Voltage - DC Reverse (Vr) (Max): 85 V
• Current - Average Rectified (Io) (per Diode): 75 mA (DC)
• Voltage - Forward (Vf) (Max) @ If: 1 V @ 50 mA
• Reverse Recovery Time (trr): 4 ns
• Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr: 2 µA @ 75 V
• Operating Temperature - Junction: -65°C ~ 150°C
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Package / Case: SOT-523
• Technology: Standard

The BAW56T-7-F meets all parametric requirements for direct substitution. Packaging differences (Tape & Reel versus standard packaging) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and represent a variation in supply format only.

Selection of the BAW56T-7-F eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility with designs specified for the BAW56T-7.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the BAW56T-7-F be used as a direct replacement for the BAW56T-7?

A: Yes. The BAW56T-7-F is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications, diode configuration, voltage ratings, current ratings, temperature range, and SOT-523 package. All electrical and mechanical parameters match exactly.

Q: What is the difference between BAW56T-7 and BAW56T-7-F?

A: The primary differences are product status, compliance certification, and packaging format. The BAW56T-7-F is Active (versus Discontinued), ROHS3 Compliant (versus RoHS non-compliant), and supplied in Tape & Reel format. Electrical performance and package form factor are identical.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging of the BAW56T-7-F affect compatibility?

A: No. Tape & Reel is a supply format variation that does not affect the component's electrical characteristics or mechanical fit. The SOT-523 package dimensions and pin configuration remain identical.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations when substituting the BAW56T-7 with the BAW56T-7-F?

A: The BAW56T-7-F is ROHS3 Compliant, whereas the BAW56T-7 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives, the BAW56T-7-F is the appropriate selection. Both components are REACH Unaffected.

Q: What parameters must match for a valid substitution?

A: Valid substitutions require matching diode configuration, DC reverse voltage rating, average rectified current per diode, forward voltage characteristics, reverse recovery time, reverse leakage current, operating temperature range, mounting type, package type, and technology classification.
