BAS16TWQ-13R-F

The BAS16TWQ-13R-F is a dual array from Nexperia. It is an Schottky barrier rectifier array featuring forward voltage drop of maximum 0.85V. This type of diode belongs to the class of diodes known as rectifiers which are essential in today’s electronics and their applications. With a maximum reverse voltage of 16V, the diagram below shows the peak forward current reverse voltage characteristic.

Diodes are two terminal passive electronic devices with two distinct states: the conducting state and the blocking state. Rectifiers are the type of diode that allows electric current to flow in one direction only. This is performed since their junction has a positive temperature coefficient (cold junction). When a positive potential is applied to the diode anode and a negative potential to the diode cathode, the junction starts to conduct. The electrons and the holes from the two sides of the junction move towards each other creating a depletion region and negating any potential difference between them.

The BAS16TWQ-13R-F working principle relies on the latest Schottky rectifier technology. This type of rectifier has a very low forward voltage drop providing improved efficiency and performance. The forward voltage drop with the device off voltage, is typically 0.85V at a current of 13A.

The BAS16TWQ-13R-F application field consists of a vast array of products. Its application areas have a wide range, ranging from switching power supplies, adapters and battery chargers, to automotive, set-top boxes and medical equipment. In addition, this model is compatible with the requirements of lead-free processes and does not require protective equipment.

In conclusion, the BAS16TWQ-13R-F is a dual array Schottky diode rectifier which provides improved efficiency and performance, due to its low forward voltage drop. This type of diode is used in a wide range of products, ranging from medical equipment and switching power supplies, to adapters and battery chargers. This model is compatible with the requirements of the lead-free process and, thus, does not require protective equipment.
