What the BB175X varactor diode does
The BB175X is a single VHF varactor diode for voltage-controlled tuning. At 28 V and 1 MHz it measures 2.89 pF, and the capacitance ratio from 1 V to 28 V is 22.
Voltage and temperature handling
Peak reverse voltage is rated at 32 V, so the tuning voltage should stay below that to avoid breakdown. The junction temperature range spans -55°C to 125°C, which covers military and industrial environments — avionics, satellite receivers, or outdoor telecom gear where the diode sees wide thermal swings.
Package and mounting
Housed in an SC-79 / SOD-523 surface-mount package, the BB175X is suited for compact RF front-ends. The supplier device package is SOD-523. It ships in Tape & Reel or Cut Tape.
Lifecycle and sourcing
No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy is on record. For new designs, this part carries no immediate obsolescence risk.
