# BAW56W

**Nexperia** · Switching Diodes · SOT-323

BAW56W from Nexperia, in a SOT-323. 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 | K1 | passive | Cathode of diode 1 (per-diode limits: VR 90 V, IF 150 mA at Tamb ≤ 25 °C); the datasheet gives no separate pin-level limit. |
| 2 | K2 | passive | Cathode of diode 2 (per-diode limits: VR 90 V, IF 150 mA at Tamb ≤ 25 °C); the datasheet gives no separate pin-level limit. |
| 3 | CA | passive | Common anode shared by both diodes; the datasheet gives no separate pin-level limit beyond the per-diode ratings. |

## CAD (KiCad official)

- Symbol: `BAW56W`
- Footprint: `Package_TO_SOT_SMD:SOT-323_SC-70`
- 3D model: SOT-323 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
- 3D model files: `baw56w-etched.step` / `baw56w-etched.glb` carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable `Adom.LaserEtch` group (Fusion-ready); `baw56w.step` / `baw56w.glb` are the bare package body.
