Product details
Overview
BAS40VY-QX from Nexperia is a general-purpose triple Schottky diode in SOT363-3 (SC-88) package, electrically isolated with three independent anode-cathode pairs. It delivers 40 V reverse voltage rating, ≤380 mV forward voltage at 1 mA, ≤5 pF capacitance at 0 V, ≤1 µA reverse leakage at 30 V, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use - deployed in ultra high-speed switching and voltage clamping circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAS40VY-QX datasheet, BAS40VY-QX pinout, BAS40VY-QX application, or BAS40VY-QX equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, terminal mapping, automotive-grade reliability context, thermal resistance data (Rth(j-a) = 510 K/W), and real-world clamping/switching use cases - all extracted from Nexperia's official 2026 product data sheet.
Technical Context
This triple Schottky diode integrates three independent diodes in one monolithic die with electrically isolated junctions, enabling independent biasing per channel. Each diode exhibits low forward voltage drop and minimal junction capacitance, supporting operation up to 100 MHz in clamping and signal routing applications.
The device uses platinum-silicide Schottky barrier technology on silicon, delivering fast recovery (trr not specified but implied by high-speed classification) and stable performance across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range. Its AEC-Q101 qualification confirms robustness against temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical stress required for under-hood automotive electronics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 40 V - supports rail-to-rail clamping in 3.3 V/5 V/12 V automotive subsystems without breakdown. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 380 mV @ 1 mA - enables low-loss signal steering and logic-level translation with minimal power dissipation. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 µA @ 30 V - ensures signal integrity in high-impedance sensing nodes and battery-backed circuits. |
| Junction Capacitance (Cd) | 5 pF @ 0 V - preserves bandwidth in RF coupling, ESD protection paths, and high-frequency clock line clamping. |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 510 K/W - defines maximum power derating on FR4 PCBs; limits continuous dissipation to ~250 mW at Tamb = 85 °C. |
| Peak Forward Current (IFSM) | 1.5 A @ 10 ms - handles transient surge events such as load dump or inductive kickback in automotive ECUs. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - certified for automotive Grade 1 (−40 °C to +125 °C operation) per discrete semiconductor stress test standard. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT363-3 (TSSOP6), 6-pin surface-mount plastic package with 0.65 mm pitch, 2.2 mm × 1.35 mm footprint, and exposed cathode-side thermal pad compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A1 (anode of diode 1) | Input node for first independent Schottky path; connects to signal source or supply rail requiring clamping. |
| 2 | A2 (anode of diode 2) | Second independent anode; allows dual-rail or differential clamping without shared conduction paths. |
| 3 | A3 (anode of diode 3) | Third isolated anode; supports triple-rail protection or multi-channel signal conditioning in compact layouts. |
| 4 | K3 (cathode of diode 3) | Return path for diode 3; tied to reference plane (e.g., VCC, GND, or clamp rail) independently of other cathodes. |
| 5 | K2 (cathode of diode 2) | Independent cathode node enabling separate biasing - critical for bidirectional clamping or OR-ing configurations. |
| 6 | K1 (cathode of diode 1) | First cathode terminal; commonly routed to system ground or regulated rail to complete clamping loop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple electrically isolated diodes | Enables three independent clamping/steering functions in one footprint - reduces board area vs. discrete SOD-323 solutions. |
| Low forward voltage (≤380 mV) | Minimizes conduction loss in low-voltage logic interfaces and battery-sensitive modules like body control units. |
| Low junction capacitance (≤5 pF) | Maintains signal rise/fall times <1 ns in USB 2.0, CAN FD, or LIN bus protection paths without distortion. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive under-hood environments including temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock testing. |
| High breakdown voltage (40 V) | Supports 24 V truck systems and 12 V passenger vehicle architectures with margin against transients up to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module | USB 2.0 Data Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Clamping transient spikes on LIN bus lines and door actuator drivers in BCMs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete voltage clamp protecting MCU GPIOs and transceiver inputs from load dump and inductive kickback. Use Value: Prevents latch-up and permanent damage using 40 V VR margin and 1.5 A IFSM surge capability per diode. |
Use Scenario: ESD and overvoltage protection on D+ and D− lines of automotive infotainment USB ports. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal-line Schottky clamp with low Cd to preserve 480 Mbps data integrity while diverting ±15 kV HBM ESD. Use Value: 5 pF capacitance avoids signal degradation; 380 mV VF prevents DC offset in differential signaling. |
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Sensor Interface | DC-DC Converter Feedback Path |
Use Scenario: Protecting analog sensor inputs (e.g., MAP, TPS) from reverse polarity and back-EMF in engine bay. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Reverse-polarity blocking and transient suppression at sensor harness entry points. Use Value: Electrically isolated diodes allow independent protection per sensor channel without ground-loop interference. |
Use Scenario: Voltage clamping on optocoupler feedback lines in isolated buck-boost converters for ADAS power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response clamp limiting feedback node excursions during startup or fault conditions. Use Value: 100 ns-level response (inferred from Schottky physics) prevents false regulation trips during 10–100 µs transients. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSR3050HT1G | Same SOT-363 package; 40 V VR, but higher VF (450 mV @ 1 mA) and higher Cd (8 pF). | Less suitable for high-speed USB or CAN FD due to higher capacitance; acceptable for slower LIN or power rail clamping. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs speed requirements and AEC-Q101 requalification is not needed. |
| Vishay VS-3BAS40-04-E3 | TO-236AB (SOT-23) single-diode variant; no triple configuration; requires three devices for equivalent function. | Increases PCB area and assembly cost; lacks integrated isolation between channels. | Choose only if legacy SOT-23 footprint compatibility is mandatory and layout space is unconstrained. |
Compared with NSR3050HT1G and VS-3BAS40-04-E3, BAS40VY-QX offers superior high-frequency performance (5 pF vs. 8 pF), lower conduction loss (380 mV vs. 450 mV), and true triple-isolation in one AEC-Q101-qualified package - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability automotive signal protection.

FAQ
Is BAS40VY-QX pin-compatible with BAS40DW-Q?
No. BAS40VY-QX uses SOT363-3 (6-pin) with isolated anodes and cathodes (pins 1–3 = A1–A3, pins 4–6 = K3–K1), whereas BAS40DW-Q is in SOT323-3 (3-pin) with common-cathode configuration. The pinouts, internal topology, and mounting footprints are incompatible - direct replacement requires PCB redesign.
What is the maximum continuous forward current per diode?
The maximum continuous forward current per diode is 120 mA under standard FR4 PCB mounting conditions (single-sided copper, tin-plated, standard footprint). This limit is defined in Table 1 and Table 5 of the Nexperia datasheet and assumes Tamb = 25 °C with no forced airflow.
Does BAS40VY-QX support bidirectional clamping?
No - each diode is unidirectional (anode-to-cathode conduction only). However, the triple-isolated structure allows external configuration of bidirectional clamping by pairing two diodes back-to-back per signal line (e.g., A1–K1 and K2–A2), leveraging independent terminals.
Can BAS40VY-QX be used in non-automotive applications?
Yes - its 40 V VR, 5 pF Cd, and 380 mV VF make it suitable for industrial PLC I/O protection, medical sensor front-ends, and telecom line interface cards. While AEC-Q101 qualification is automotive-specific, the underlying reliability and electrical specs apply broadly.
