Additional Details:

The BAS125-04W features a reverse voltage rating of 120V, a forward current rating of 250mA, and a reverse recovery time of typically 4 ns. Its low capacitance (typically 4 pF) ensures minimal loading on the circuit. The small SOT-323 surface mount package allows for dense circuit board designs. The fast switching speed and low leakage current make it ideal for high-frequency and low-power applications. Due to its end-of-life status, it's important to consider replacements for new designs. When selecting an alternative, pay close attention to parameters like reverse voltage, forward current, reverse recovery time, and capacitance to ensure comparable performance.
