Small Signal Schottky and Switching Diodes to Improve Thermal Performance in Automotive and Industrial Applications

11 October 2021 - 0 Comments

Vishay Intertechnology has introduced new surface-mount small signal 40V BAS40L Schottky and 100V BAS16L switching diodes which are designed to save space and improve thermal performance in automotive and industrial applications. These diodes in the ultra-compact DFN1006-2A plastic package with wettable flanks are available in AEC-Q101 qualified versions and occupy 90 % less board space than devices in traditional SOD/T packages. Moreover, these new diodes offer a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1 in accordance with J-STD-020 and a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.

Measuring only 1 mm by 0.6 mm by 0.45 mm, these new diodes offer a 50 % lower profile and better power dissipation. These diodes support automated optical inspection (AOI) for automotive systems and for protection against excessive voltage, such as electrostatic discharges, the BAS40L features a PN junction guard ring.
