BA159 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BA159 is a fast switching plastic rectifier designed for high-efficiency applications. It features a low forward voltage drop, low leakage current, and high forward surge capability, making it suitable for power supplies, inverters, converters, and freewheeling diodes in consumer and telecommunication products.

 

With a maximum average forward current of 1A and a peak reverse voltage rating up to 1000V, the BA159 ensures reliable performance in demanding scenarios. Its typical reverse recovery time is 500 ns, contributing to its fast switching characteristics. The diode is constructed with a silicon element and comes in a DO-204AL (DO-41) axial package, facilitating easy soldering and integration into through-hole designs.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1.3V at 1A and a maximum DC reverse current of 5 μA at rated voltage. The operating junction temperature ranges from -65°C to +125°C, and storage temperature is from -65°C to +150°C. The molding compound meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating.
