**Nexperia** · Switching Diodes · SOT-23

BAV23A from Nexperia, in a SOT-23. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

## Pinout

| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | K1 | passive | Cathode of diode 1; rated for VRRM = 250 V reverse voltage and IF = 225 mA forward current (single diode loaded). |
| 2 | K2 | passive | Cathode of diode 2; rated for VRRM = 250 V reverse voltage and IF = 225 mA forward current (single diode loaded). |
| 3 | CA | passive | Common anode terminal; rated for VRRM = 250 V reverse voltage and IF = 225 mA (single diode) or 125 mA (double diode loaded). |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `BAV23A`
- Footprint: `Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-23`
- 3D model: SOT-23 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
- 3D model files: `bav23a-etched.step` / `bav23a-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `bav23a.step` / `bav23a.glb` are the bare package body.
