BAS16GWJ

Introduction to BAS16GWJ
- BAS16GWJ is the SMD variant of the BAS16 fast-switching diode family.
- It is a general-purpose, silicon small-signal diode suited for high-speed switching, signal rectification, clipping and protection in low-to-moderate current circuits.
- Features typically include fast recovery, low forward voltage drop and RoHS compliance; packaged in compact surface-mount options (exact package depends on the supplier).
- Electrical ratings vary by manufacturer and package; common characteristics are a reverse voltage in the tens of volts (often up to around 75 V) and forward current in the sub-amp to a few hundred milliamps range.
- Typical applications: digital and RF circuits, demodulation, peak detection, protection diodes, switching power supplies.
- Important: consult the specific datasheet for BAS16GWJ from your supplier for exact Vr, If, Ptot, packaging, tolerance, and pinout.

Do you mean electrical equivalents (Vr, If, switching speed) or package equivalents? I can list direct cross-references, but need which specs matter (package: SOT-23/SOD‑523, reverse voltage, max forward current). Tell me the package and key ratings and I’ll give exact interchangeable parts.

Here are the typical features of BAS16GWJ:
- Fast-switching, general-purpose silicon diode
- Surface-mount in BAS16 family package; RoHS-compliant/lead-free
- Repetitive reverse voltage (Vrrm) ≈ 75 V
- Forward current (IF(AV)) ≈ 150 mA
- Very fast recovery time (trr) ~ a few nanoseconds (≈ 4 ns typical)
- Low forward voltage drop (VF ≈ 0.65–0.8 V at moderate current)
- Low junction capacitance (Cj) in the few-pF range
- Wide operating temperature range (roughly -65°C to +150°C)
Note: exact numbers can vary by manufacturer; consult the BAS16GWJ datasheet for precise specifications.

Pin count: 2 pins (anode and cathode).
Function: BAS16GWJ is a small-signal/switching diode used for high-speed switching, signal clamping, detection and general-purpose rectification in low-current circuits.

The BAS16GWJ is a small-signal switching/rectifier diode type that is made by multiple semiconductor companies (common makers include Diodes Incorporated, Rohm, Nexperia and Vishay). These manufacturers are global semiconductor firms that design and produce discrete components (diodes, transistors), logic, analog and power-management ICs for consumer, industrial and automotive applications. For the specific maker of a given BAS16GWJ part, check the distributor listing or the part’s datasheet/packaging marking.
