BAS16LP-7

BAS16LP-7 is a fast-switching silicon diode in the BAS16 family, used for high-speed signal switching and small-signal rectification in surface-mount designs. The “LP” indicates a leadless plastic package, and “7” is a manufacturer-specific variant code. Key specs (variant dependent—verify the exact datasheet): reverse-reverse voltage around 75 V, forward current up to about 200 mA, forward voltage near 1.0 V at modest current, and a nanosecond-range reverse/recovery time. Typical applications include switching circuits, clamping, detectors, and logic-level interfaces. Note: always check the exact BAS16LP-7 datasheet for precise electrical ratings and packaging details, as these can vary by manufacturer and lot.

BAS16LP-7 is a 2-pin SMD small‑signal switching diode.
Pins: Pin 1 = cathode (banded end), Pin 2 = anode.
Function: fast switching/rectification/clamping/steering in high‑speed small‑signal circuits (acts as a single diode with polarity as above).

There isn’t a single manufacturer for BAS16LP-7. It’s a standard BAS16 fast-switching diode made by several vendors, including Nexperia (Philips Semiconductors heritage), Diodes Incorporated, Vishay, and ROHM. These are global semiconductor companies that design, manufacture, and sell discrete diodes and other electronic components.

BAS16LP-7 is a fast, general-purpose switching diode. Applications: high-speed switching in digital/analog circuits; small-signal rectification and envelope/demodulation in RF/IF paths; input clipping/protection (rail clamps); pulse shaping and level shifting in logic interfaces; detector/front‑end circuits in communications. Also useful for snubber/peak‑detection in power supplies. Suitable for surface-mount boards in SMPS, telecom equipment, consumer electronics, and instrumentation.

The BAS16LP-7 is supplied in a SOD523 surface-mount (SMD) package. Check the manufacturer datasheet for exact mechanical dimensions and tape-and-reel packaging details.
