Product details
Overview
BAS40,235 from Nexperia is a general-purpose Schottky diode in SOT23 package, designed for ultra-high-speed switching and voltage clamping. It delivers 40 V reverse voltage rating, 120 mA forward current capability, 380 mV forward voltage at 1 mA, 5 pF capacitance at 0 V, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the BAS40,235 datasheet, BAS40,235 pinout, BAS40,235 application, or BAS40,235 equivalent, key selection criteria include low VF for power efficiency, low Cd for RF/switching integrity, n.c. terminal isolation, thermal resistance (500 K/W), and automotive-grade reliability under transient stress.
Technical Context
The BAS40,235 implements a planar Schottky barrier structure optimized for fast recovery (no minority carrier storage) and low forward conduction loss. Its anode-cathode configuration with internal open-circuit terminal enables flexible PCB layout while maintaining signal path integrity in high-frequency clamp circuits.
Thermal performance is defined by junction-to-ambient resistance of 500 K/W on FR4 with single-sided copper, and operation is validated across −65 °C to +150 °C ambient range. Reverse leakage remains ≤10 µA at 40 V and 25 °C, supporting stable biasing in precision analog front-ends.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (Reverse Voltage) | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating margin in 24 V automotive clamp designs. |
| VF (Forward Voltage) | 380 mV @ 1 mA - Low conduction loss enabling efficient signal-level rectification and logic-level clamping. |
| IF (Forward Current) | 120 mA continuous - Supports moderate-power switching without thermal derating in compact SOT23 footprint. |
| Cd (Capacitance) | 5 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - Minimizes signal distortion and timing skew in >100 MHz digital or RF interface protection paths. |
| IR (Reverse Current) | 10 µA @ 40 V, 25 °C - Ensures low standby power loss in battery-backed or always-on sensing circuits. |
| Rth(j-a) | 500 K/W - Defines thermal rise per watt on standard FR4; requires <250 mW dissipation for <125 °C junction temp. |
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 | Anode (A) | Forward current entry point; connects to higher-potential node in clamping or rectification path. |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Internally unconnected; must be left floating or tied to ground only if required for mechanical stability-no electrical function. |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Forward current exit and reverse-blocking terminal; ties to reference or return path in protection circuits. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High switching speed | No minority carrier storage → sub-nanosecond recovery; eliminates tail current in >100 MHz pulse clamping. |
| Low leakage current | ≤1 µA @ 30 V, 25 °C - preserves signal fidelity in high-impedance sensor interfaces and sample-hold circuits. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive underhood applications including engine control, lighting, and ADAS sensor protection. |
| Low capacitance | 5 pF at 0 V - maintains bandwidth >300 MHz in RF detector or ESD protection paths without resonance issues. |
Applications
| Automotive CAN Bus Protection | USB 2.0 Data Line Clamping |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CAN_H/CAN_L lines against load dump transients and ESD events in vehicle ECUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional voltage clamp placed between differential pair and transceiver I/O pins. Use Value: 40 V VR withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump), while 5 pF Cd avoids signal integrity degradation at 1 Mbps CAN bitrate. | Use Scenario: Preventing overvoltage damage to USB 2.0 D+/D− pins during hot-plug or ESD events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance shunt clamp referenced to VBUS or GND. Use Value: 380 mV VF ensures clamping threshold stays below USB 2.0 receiver's absolute max rating (−0.5 V to 3.6 V), preserving eye diagram integrity. |
| RF Detector Input Protection | Logic-Level Signal Translation |
Use Scenario: Shielding RF detector diodes from antenna-coupled surges in GNSS or cellular front-ends. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Pre-detector series or shunt clamp limiting input swing to ±0.4 V. Use Value: Sub-ns response time prevents transient energy from saturating downstream log amp or ADC input stages. | Use Scenario: Level-shifting 1.8 V logic signals to 3.3 V domains while providing overvoltage immunity. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Anode-to-low-voltage rail, cathode-to-high-voltage rail configuration for passive translation. Use Value: 380 mV VF enables ~1.4 V output swing from 1.8 V input, with no active circuitry or propagation delay. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MBR0540T1G | Higher IF (500 mA), larger SOD-123 package, VF = 450 mV @ 100 mA | Better for power rectification; unsuitable for space-constrained RF layouts | Select when forward current >200 mA is required and board area allows SOD-123 footprint |
| 1N5711 | Through-hole DO-35, VF = 430 mV @ 10 mA, Cd = 4 pF, no AEC-Q101 | Limited to prototyping or non-automotive production; lacks automotive qualification | Choose only for lab validation or cost-sensitive non-automotive consumer designs |
Compared with MBR0540T1G and 1N5711, the BAS40,235 uniquely balances ultra-small SOT23 size, AEC-Q101 compliance, and sub-400 mV VF at low current-making it optimal for automotive signal-line protection where board space and reliability are co-constrained.

FAQ
Is the BAS40,235 pin-compatible with other SOT23 Schottky diodes?
Yes-the BAS40,235 uses standard SOT23 pinning (Anode–n.c.–Cathode), matching industry-standard footprints like those of BAT54 and NSR0230P2T5G. However, the n.c. pin is not internally bonded in all variants; verify layout clearance for unused pad per manufacturer layout guidelines.
What is the maximum allowable power dissipation for BAS40,235 in free air?
At 25 °C ambient, maximum power dissipation is 250 mW (calculated from Rth(j-a) = 500 K/W and Tj(max) = 150 °C). Derate linearly above 25 °C: 0.5 mW/°C reduction ensures junction temperature stays within 150 °C limit.
Does the n.c. pin require grounding or can it remain floating?
The pin 2 (n.c.) is electrically isolated and must remain unconnected. Grounding it may cause unintended parasitic coupling or solder bridging; Nexperia's layout recommendations specify leaving it floating unless mechanical reinforcement is needed-and even then, only tie to ground via a separate thermal pad, not the signal net.
How does BAS40,235 perform under repeated ESD stress per IEC 61000-4-2?
While not rated to a specific IEC 61000-4-2 level, its AEC-Q101 qualification includes human-body model (HBM) testing ≥2 kV and machine model (MM) ≥200 V. For system-level ESD protection, it must be used with external series impedance (e.g., 10 Ω resistor) to limit peak current during 8 kV contact discharge.
