Product details
Overview
BAS40-04-Q from Nexperia is a general-purpose dual Schottky diode in SOT23 package, configured as two independent Schottky junctions sharing a common terminal (pin 3 = K1/A2). It delivers 40 V reverse voltage rating, 120 mA forward current capability, 380 mV typical forward voltage at 1 mA, 5 pF capacitance at 0 V, and is AEC-Q101 qualified for automotive signal clamping and ultra-high-speed switching.
For engineers reviewing the BAS40-04-Q datasheet, BAS40-04-Q pinout, BAS40-04-Q application, or BAS40-04-Q equivalent, this dual Schottky diode is selected for low-loss, high-speed discrete functions where low VF, low IR, and compact dual-diode topology are critical - especially in space-constrained automotive signal conditioning and protection circuits.
Technical Context
The BAS40-04-Q integrates two monolithic Schottky diodes in a single SOT23-3 package with shared terminal architecture: pin 1 = anode of D1, pin 2 = cathode of D2, pin 3 = cathode of D1 and anode of D2. This configuration enables series-connected or common-cathode/anode arrangements without external wiring.
Its 150 °C maximum junction temperature, 500 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR4, and 1 µA reverse leakage at 30 V support reliable operation in thermally demanding automotive ambient environments while maintaining fast recovery (no minority carrier storage) and low noise due to metal-semiconductor junction behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 40 V - Enables clamping of transients up to automotive load-dump levels without breakdown. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 380 mV @ 1 mA - Minimizes conduction loss in low-current bias and sensing paths. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 µA @ 30 V - Ensures minimal DC error in precision voltage reference or sample-hold circuits. |
| Capacitance (Cd) | 5 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - Supports >100 MHz signal integrity in RF detector or high-speed logic clamp applications. |
| Peak Forward Current (IFSM) | 200 mA @ 10 ms - Withstands short-duration surge events such as ESD-induced current spikes. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C - Certified for under-hood automotive use without derating in standard PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 (TO-236AB), surface-mounted, 3-terminal plastic package; 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, 1.9 mm lead pitch. Standard footprint compatible with reflow and wave soldering per Nexperia's recommended land patterns.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode of Diode 1 (A1) | Input node for first Schottky path; connects to signal source or rail requiring clamping. |
| 2 | Cathode of Diode 2 (K2) | Output node for second Schottky path; used for steering or bidirectional clamping termination. |
| 3 | Cathode of Diode 1 / Anode of Diode 2 (K1; A2) | Shared terminal enabling compact dual-diode configurations - e.g., series connection or common-node clamping. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High switching speed | No minority carrier storage → sub-nanosecond recovery; eliminates turn-off delay in pulse shaping. |
| Low leakage current | ≤10 µA @ 40 V ensures stable DC bias points in high-impedance analog front-ends. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive Grade 1 (-40 °C to +125 °C ambient) per stress test requirements. |
| Low capacitance | 5 pF enables use in 100+ MHz RF detector and high-frequency signal routing without loading. |
Applications
| Automotive CAN Bus Protection | USB 2.0 Signal Clamping |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSR20F40NXT5G | Higher VF (450 mV @ 1 mA); same 40 V VR; SOD-323 package (smaller, 2-terminal dual). | Lacks shared-terminal flexibility; requires separate routing for dual-path configurations. | Preferred when board area is more constrained than routing density; not suitable for shared-node topologies. |
| Vishay SDURB140Q-13 | Higher IF (200 mA continuous); higher Cd (12 pF); TO-236AB package but non-AEC-Q101 rated. | Not qualified for automotive use; higher capacitance limits >50 MHz applications. | Select only for industrial/non-automotive designs needing higher continuous current handling. |
Compared with NSR20F40NXT5G and SDURB140Q-13, the BAS40-04-Q uniquely balances AEC-Q101 compliance, shared-terminal versatility, and 5 pF/380 mV performance - making it optimal for automotive signal integrity where layout efficiency and qualification are jointly required.

FAQ
Is BAS40-04-Q suitable for bidirectional ESD protection?
Yes - its dual Schottky structure with shared terminal (pin 3) enables symmetrical clamping between signal and both VCC and GND rails. Combined with 40 V VR and 200 mA IFSM, it meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±15 kV air) when properly laid out with low-inductance grounding.
What is the thermal derating behavior above 25 °C ambient?
At Tamb = 85 °C, the maximum continuous forward current reduces to 75 mA per diode based on Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W and Tj(max) = 150 °C. Derating follows linear interpolation: IF(max) = 120 mA × (1 − (Tamb − 25)/125). No forced airflow is assumed.
Can BAS40-04-Q replace BAS40-05-Q in existing designs?
No - BAS40-04-Q has pinout A1/K2/K1+A2, whereas BAS40-05-Q uses A1/A2/K (common cathode). The internal connectivity differs fundamentally; substituting them without layout revision will cause functional failure in clamping or steering circuits.
Does the 1 µA reverse leakage apply across the full temperature range?
No - the 1 µA value is specified at Tamb = 25 °C and VR = 30 V. At 125 °C, IR rises to ~100 µA (per Fig. 2), so designs operating near Tj(max) must account for increased leakage in high-impedance nodes or precision references.
