The recommended operating temperature range for BAV105 is -55°C to 150°C, although the datasheet only mentions a storage temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.
BAV105 is primarily designed as a general-purpose diode for rectification, but it can also be used as a switch in certain applications. However, it's not recommended for high-frequency switching due to its relatively high reverse recovery time.
BAV105 is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). To prevent damage, handle the device with ESD-protected equipment, wear an ESD strap, and ensure the workspace is ESD-safe.
The maximum allowable voltage for BAV105 is 400V, although the datasheet only specifies a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 200V. However, it's essential to consider the application's specific requirements and ensure the device operates within its recommended specifications.
While BAV105 is a general-purpose diode, it may not meet the stringent requirements of high-reliability or aerospace applications. It's recommended to use diodes specifically designed for these applications, such as those with higher reliability ratings or specialized screening.
