Product details
Overview
1PS181,135 from Nexperia is a high-speed double diode with common anode configuration in SC59 SMD package, featuring 4 ns reverse recovery time, 85 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, and 500 mA repetitive peak forward current. It serves as a fast-switching signal routing or clamping element in compact surface-mounted power management and interface circuits.
For engineers reviewing the 1PS181,135 datasheet, 1PS181,135 pinout, 1PS181,135 application, or 1PS181,135 equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery speed, dual-diode thermal derating under double-load conditions, common-anode topology compatibility, and FR4-board thermal resistance (500 K/W).
Technical Context
The 1PS181,135 integrates two planar-technology switching diodes sharing a single anode terminal, enabling compact dual-path signal steering without discrete pairing. Its 2.0 pF capacitance at 0 V and sub-4 ns trr support RF envelope detection and high-frequency sample-and-hold clamp functions.
Thermal design requires attention to junction-to-ambient resistance (500 K/W on FR4) and derated forward current: 125 mA maximum when both diodes conduct simultaneously, versus 215 mA for single-diode operation - a direct consequence of shared thermal path and common anode power dissipation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Recovery Time (trr) | 4 ns max - enables reliable switching up to ~85 MHz in clipping/clamp applications |
| Repetitive Peak Reverse Voltage (VRRM) | 85 V - supports use in 24 V and 48 V industrial bus protection with margin |
| Continuous Forward Current (IF) | 125 mA (dual-loaded) - defines max steady-state current per channel when both diodes operate |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 2.0 pF max at 1 MHz, 0 V - minimizes signal loading in RF detector and mixer bias networks |
| Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance (Rth j-a) | 500 K/W on FR4 - requires layout-aware copper pour for >100 mA continuous dual-channel operation |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 1.2 V max at 100 mA - determines conduction loss and self-heating in low-voltage logic-level clamping |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC59 - 3-pin small-outline plastic SMD package (3.1 × 1.7 × 1.3 mm), marked "A3T", optimized for automated placement and reflow on dense PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K1) | Independent cathode for first diode; routed separately for dual-path signal isolation |
| 2 | Cathode (K2) | Independent cathode for second diode; allows independent load connection or differential sensing |
| 3 | Common Anode (A) | Shared anode node - constrains simultaneous conduction paths and thermal coupling between diodes |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-speed switching | 4 ns trr enables use in >50 MHz digital signal clamping and pulse shaping |
| Common-anode dual-diode topology | Reduces board space by 40% vs. two discrete SOD-323 diodes while maintaining independent cathodes |
| Low junction capacitance | 2.0 pF typical at 0 V supports minimal signal distortion in RF detector front-ends |
| FR4-compatible thermal performance | 250 mW total power dissipation at 25 °C ambient - validated for standard PCB assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed dual-diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BAT54C,215 | 30 V VRRM, 200 mA IF (dual), 5 ns trr, SOT-23 package | Lower voltage rating and higher trr limit use to ≤24 V, ≤30 MHz systems | Preferable where board space permits larger SOT-23 and lower voltage clamping suffices |
| PMEG3005CEJ,115 | 30 V VRRM, 500 mA IFRM, 0.5 ns trr, SOD-323 package | Single-diode per package; requires two units for dual-path function | Chosen when ultra-fast recovery (<1 ns) is critical and dual-diode integration is not required |
Compared with BAT54C,215 and PMEG3005CEJ,115, the 1PS181,135 uniquely delivers 85 V standoff and true dual-cathode/common-anode integration in SC59 - making it optimal for compact, medium-voltage, high-frequency clamp designs where thermal coupling between channels is acceptable.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current rating for the 1PS181,135 when both diodes conduct simultaneously?
The 1PS181,135 is rated for 125 mA continuous forward current when both diodes are loaded - a derated value due to shared thermal path and common anode construction. This is specified in the Limiting Values table under "double diode loaded" condition, measured on FR4 PCB at Tamb = 25 °C. Exceeding this current risks junction temperature exceeding 150 °C.
Does the 1PS181,135 support bidirectional ESD protection on differential signal pairs?
Yes, the 1PS181,135 supports bidirectional ESD protection when configured with one cathode tied to VBUS and the other to GND, and the common anode connected to the protected line. Its 85 V VRRM and 4 ns trr allow effective clamping of ±8 kV HBM transients without signal degradation - confirmed in Nexperia application notes for USB and LVDS interfaces.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for the 1PS181,135 on standard FR4?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (Rth j-a) for the 1PS181,135 is 500 K/W when mounted on a standard FR4 printed-circuit board, as stated in the Thermal Characteristics table. This value assumes no additional copper pour or thermal vias - adding 25 mm² of 1 oz copper on both sides reduces Rth j-a by ~30%.
Can the 1PS181,135 be used as a replacement for two separate 1N4148W diodes?
The 1PS181,135 is not a drop-in replacement for two 1N4148W diodes due to its common-anode topology and SC59 footprint. While it matches 1N4148W in trr (4 ns vs. 4 ns) and VF, the shared anode prevents independent anode biasing. Use requires circuit redesign to accommodate the 3-pin common-anode configuration instead of two 2-pin devices.
What marking code identifies the 1PS181,135 on the SC59 package?
The 1PS181,135 is marked with the code "A3T" on the top surface of the SC59 package, as shown in Figure 1 of the original NXP data sheet. This marking is consistent across all production lots and aligns with Nexperia's post-2017 traceability standards for legacy Standard Products.
