Fast-switching signal diode in SOT-323 — 4 ns trr
The Infineon BAS16WH6433XTMA1 is a standard-recovery switching diode in a PG-SOT323 package, rated for 80 V DC reverse voltage and 250 mA average rectified current. Its 4 ns reverse recovery time places it firmly in the fast-switching signal-diode class, suitable for high-speed switching, clamping, and protection circuits in compact surface-mount designs.
A 4 ns reverse recovery time means this diode can cleanly commutate from forward conduction to reverse blocking in under five nanoseconds. That matters for snubbing inductive kicks in a relay driver or clamping fast edges on a data line — the diode won't stay forward-biased long enough to let a spike through. The 1.25 V forward drop at 150 mA is typical for a signal diode in this voltage class; the 2 pF junction capacitance at 0 V keeps it from loading high-frequency lines.
