BAL74

Nexperia · Diodes - General Purpose · SOT-23

BAL74 from Nexperia, in a SOT-23. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 n.c. unconnected Not connected; the datasheet lists this pin as having no connection to the diode.
2 anode passive Anode of the high-speed diode; device limits include continuous reverse voltage max. 50 V and continuous forward current max. 215 mA.
3 cathode passive Cathode of the high-speed diode; forward current flows from anode (pin 2) to cathode (pin 3), with repetitive peak forward current max. 500 mA.

  • Symbol: BAL74
  • Footprint: Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-23
  • 3D model: SOT-23 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: bal74-etched.step / bal74-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); bal74.step / bal74.glb are the bare package body.
