BAV45 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The BAV45 from Central Semiconductor Corp is a silicon picoampere switching diode optimized for ultra-low leakage applications. It offers a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 35V and continuous reverse voltage of 20V, with a maximum continuous forward current of 50mA.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 1V at 10mA, reverse leakage current as low as 5pA at 5V, and a typical diode capacitance of 1.3pF. The device has a reverse recovery time of 600ns, making it suitable for low-speed switching applications where minimal leakage is critical.

 

The BAV45 is housed in a hermetically sealed TO-18 (2-lead) metal case with through-hole mounting, providing robust protection for harsh environments. The operating and storage temperature range spans -65°C to +125°C, with a thermal resistance of 500°C/W.
