BAS16LT3G

BAS16LT3G is a RoHS-compliant, surface-mount fast-switching diode in the BAS16 family. It’s intended for fast signal switching and low‑current rectification in small-signal circuits.
Key points:
- Reverse voltage: up to about 75 V; average forward current up to ~200 mA.
- Forward voltage: typically around 1.0 V at low to moderate forward currents.
- Switching performance: fast recovery, suitable for high-speed switching; recovery times on the order of a few nanoseconds.
- Junction capacitance: low to moderate (helps with high-speed performance).
- Package: small SMD package with the LT3G suffix indicating lead-free/RoHS-compliant packaging (tape & reel in many cases). Exact package type varies by manufacturer.
Typical applications:
- Fast switching and signal rectification in low-power circuits
- Level shifting, protection/clamping, and switching regulators
Note: Always verify the exact datasheet for your supplier’s package, ratings, and package marking, since variations exist across manufacturers.

Common equivalents: BAS16 (other BAS16 family variants such as BAS16LT1G/BAS16LT3), 1N4148 / LL4148 / MMSD4148 (small‑signal switching diodes), and BAV99 (dual switching diode). Verify package/pinout (SOT‑23 variants), V_R, I_F, leakage and capacitance in the datasheets before substituting.

BAS16LT3G features (fast-switching, general-purpose diode):
- Fast switching, small-signal diode
- VR (reverse voltage) ≈ 75 V
- IF(AV) ≈ 0.3 A (typical)
- Reverse recovery time ≈ 4 ns (typical)
- Forward voltage drop ~0.7–1.0 V depending on current
- Low junction capacitance for high-speed applications
- Surface-mount device (SMD), lead-free/ RoHS compliant
- Packaging: typically tape & reel (LT3G variant)
- Wide operating temperature: roughly -55°C to +125°C
Common uses: switching circuits, clipping/protection, signal rectification, and high-speed logic interfaces. For exact electrical limits, refer to the specific datasheet for BAS16LT3G.

Pin count: 3 (SOT‑23 small outline package).
Function: single small‑signal / high‑speed switching diode (two electrical terminals: anode and cathode). The SOT‑23 footprint provides a third pin that is either a no‑connect or tied to one diode terminal (commonly the cathode) for improved thermal/current handling — check the manufacturer datasheet for the exact pin‑mapping for your supplier.

- Manufacturer: Nexperia.
- What kind of company: A global semiconductor company that designs and manufactures discrete components (e.g., diodes and transistors), as well as logic and MOSFET devices for automotive, industrial, and consumer applications.
