Product details
Overview
BAS40-05,215 from Nexperia is a general-purpose dual Schottky diode in SOT23 package, configured as two anodes (A1, A2) sharing a common cathode (K1/K2). It delivers 40 V reverse voltage rating, 120 mA forward current capability, and 380 mV forward voltage at 1 mA, enabling ultra-high-speed switching and low-loss clamping in compact DC-DC converter feedback paths.
For engineers reviewing the BAS40-05,215 datasheet, BAS40-05,215 pinout, BAS40-05,215 application, or BAS40-05,215 equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-anode/common-cathode topology, pulsed forward voltage behavior, low 5 pF capacitance at 0 V, and thermal resistance of 500 K/W on FR4 PCB - critical for high-frequency signal routing and rail clamping in space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The BAS40-05,215 integrates two independent Schottky junctions with shared cathode termination, supporting parallel or independent anode routing in clamp or steering configurations. Its 40 V VR rating and 200 mA non-repetitive peak forward current (IFSM) allow transient suppression in 24 V industrial control I/O stages.
Thermal performance is defined by Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W under standard FR4 mounting, and electrical behavior is characterized across temperature: VF rises to ~500 mV at 10 mA (25 °C) and ~1 V at 40 mA, while IR remains ≤10 µA at VR = 40 V and 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (Reverse Voltage) | 40 V - supports clamping in 24 V systems with 67 % safety margin over nominal rail. |
| IF (Forward Current) | 120 mA continuous - sufficient for biasing, level-shifting, and low-power signal steering. |
| VF (Forward Voltage) | 380 mV @ 1 mA - enables low-loss voltage translation in logic-level interfaces and sensing circuits. |
| IR (Reverse Current) | 10 µA @ 40 V - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance sample-and-hold or reference divider networks. |
| Cd (Capacitance) | 5 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity in >100 MHz RF detector or clock line clamping applications. |
| Tj (Junction Temp) | 150 °C max - allows operation in sealed enclosures or near power components without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 (TO-236AB), 3-terminal surface-mount plastic package, 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, 1.9 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A1 (Anode 1) | Input node for first Schottky diode; routed independently for dual-path clamping or OR-ing. |
| 2 | A2 (Anode 2) | Input node for second Schottky diode; enables simultaneous protection of two signals sharing one return path. |
| 3 | K1/K2 (Common Cathode) | Single output/return terminal; simplifies PCB layout and reduces net count in dual-diode configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High switching speed | Sub-nanosecond recovery due to Schottky barrier - avoids storage delay in >50 MHz pulse shaping. |
| Low leakage current | ≤1 µA @ VR = 30 V - maintains accuracy in precision voltage references and battery-monitoring dividers. |
| Low capacitance | 5 pF - minimizes loading on high-frequency clock or RF detector outputs. |
| High breakdown voltage | 40 V VR - exceeds industrial 24 V bus transients (IEC 61000-4-4 Level 3: ±2 kV) with margin. |
Applications
| USB Data Line Protection | DC-DC Converter Feedback Clamp |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Clamping ESD transients on USB 2.0 D+ and D− lines before entering USB transceiver IC. IC Role / Device Role: Dual-anode Schottky clamp to ground (common cathode tied to GND), limiting voltage excursion to <0.4 V above VDD or below GND. Use Value: 5 pF capacitance prevents signal edge degradation; 380 mV VF ensures clamping activates before transceiver damage threshold (~±15 V). |
Use Scenario: Preventing overshoot in isolated flyback converter feedback loop caused by optocoupler delay or noise coupling. IC Role / Device Role: Common-cathode clamp across optocoupler input, with each anode connected to separate error amplifier outputs. Use Value: Dual-anode topology allows independent clamping of two feedback paths without cross-talk; 120 mA IF handles transient energy from 100 kHz switching spikes. |
| Logic-Level Translation | Industrial Sensor Signal Steering |
|
Use Scenario: Bidirectional level shifting between 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO and 5 V peripheral I²C bus using passive resistor-based translator. IC Role / Device Role: Dual Schottky diode providing low-VF forward path and blocking reverse leakage between domains. Use Value: 380 mV VF enables reliable turn-on at 3.3 V logic high; 10 µA IR prevents false triggering in high-Z pull-up configurations. |
Use Scenario: Routing analog sensor outputs (e.g., 4–20 mA transmitter) to multiple monitoring channels with fault isolation. IC Role / Device Role: Anode-to-sensor-output, common cathode to multiplexer input - blocks backfeed during channel switching. Use Value: Shared cathode eliminates need for discrete diodes per channel; 150 °C Tj rating supports operation in uncooled industrial cabinets. |
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 | Same SOT23 package, but single-anode/dual-cathode configuration (A-K1-K2); VF = 420 mV @ 1 mA. | Requires reversed PCB layout (cathodes separated); less suitable for common-return clamping. | Select when independent cathode routing is needed for bidirectional signal isolation. |
| Diodes Inc. BAV99,215 | Higher VF (≈800 mV @ 10 mA), lower VR (70 V), same dual-anode/common-cathode pinout. | Higher conduction loss limits use in low-voltage logic translation; better for higher-voltage transient suppression. | Prefer for 48 V telecom line protection where leakage and capacitance are secondary concerns. |
Compared with NSR20F40NXT5G and BAV99,215, the BAS40-05,215 uniquely balances low VF, low Cd, and dual-anode/common-cathode topology - making it optimal for compact, high-frequency clamping where layout simplicity and signal fidelity are prioritized over extreme voltage rating or cathode separation.

FAQ
What is the maximum pulsed forward current the BAS40-05,215 can handle?
The BAS40-05,215 supports a non-repetitive peak forward current (IFSM) of 200 mA at tp ≤ 10 ms and Tj(init) = 25 °C. This rating applies to short-duration transients such as ESD events or switching spikes, not continuous operation. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient per the thermal resistance curve in the datasheet.
Can the BAS40-05,215 be used in automotive applications?
No - the BAS40-05,215 is explicitly marked as non-automotive qualified in the revision history (v.12, Jan 2023). Nexperia states it is neither qualified nor tested to AEC-Q101 standards. For automotive use, consult Nexperia's BAS40-05Q series or equivalent qualified alternatives.
How does the common cathode configuration affect PCB layout compared to dual-diode packages with separate cathodes?
The shared cathode (Pin 3) reduces net count and eliminates the need for two separate cathode traces or vias, simplifying routing in dense layouts. It enables direct connection to a single ground plane or reference node, minimizing inductance in high-speed clamping paths - unlike separate-cathode variants that require careful isolation to avoid ground bounce coupling.
Is the 5 pF capacitance measured at zero bias applicable to AC-coupled signal paths?
Yes - the 5 pF value is specified at VR = 0 V and f = 1 MHz, representing junction capacitance under unbiased conditions. In AC-coupled paths (e.g., RF detectors), this capacitance forms part of the signal path impedance; Fig. 4 in the datasheet confirms it drops to ~3 pF at VR = 30 V, allowing dynamic adjustment via bias tuning if needed.
