Product details
Overview
BAS40W from Nexperia is a general-purpose Schottky diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, designed for ultra-high-speed switching and voltage clamping with 40 V reverse voltage rating, 120 mA forward current capability, and 380 mV forward voltage at 1 mA. It features low leakage (≤10 µA at 40 V), low capacitance (5 pF), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
For engineers reviewing the BAS40W datasheet, BAS40W pinout, BAS40W application, or BAS40W equivalent, this discrete Schottky diode offers verified performance in high-frequency signal routing, transient suppression, and low-loss DC bias networks where fast recovery and minimal forward drop are critical.
Technical Context
The BAS40W leverages platinum-silicide Schottky barrier technology to achieve sub-nanosecond switching speed and negligible minority-carrier storage delay. Its 5 pF junction capacitance and 1 µA reverse leakage at 30 V enable stable operation in RF detector and sample-and-hold circuits up to ~100 MHz.
Thermal resistance of 625 K/W (junction-to-ambient, FR4 PCB, single-sided copper) defines its power dissipation limit under natural convection. The device operates across –65 °C to +150 °C ambient and junction temperatures, supporting under-hood automotive environments without derating below 120 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 40 V - Maximum blocking voltage before breakdown; suitable for 3.3 V/5 V/12 V rail clamping and flyback protection. |
| Forward Current (IF) | 120 mA continuous - Supports moderate-power signal path switching without thermal runaway on standard PCBs. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 380 mV @ 1 mA - Enables low-loss biasing in precision analog front-ends and low-voltage logic level translation. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 10 µA @ 40 V - Ensures minimal standby current in battery-powered voltage clamp and hold circuits. |
| Junction Capacitance (Cd) | 5 pF @ 0 V - Permits use in >50 MHz signal routing without significant capacitive loading or phase shift. |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 625 K/W - Limits power dissipation to ~160 mW at 25 °C ambient; requires no heatsink in typical SMT layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT323 (SC-70), 3-terminal surface-mount plastic package measuring 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm with 1.3 mm lead pitch. Terminal 2 is internally not connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Forward current entry point; connects to higher-potential node in clamping or rectification paths. |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | No internal bond wire or silicon connection; must remain unconnected in PCB layout to avoid parasitic coupling. |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Forward current exit point; ties to reference or lower-potential node; carries full IF during conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control modules and body electronics per stress test requirements. |
| Low forward voltage | 380 mV at 1 mA enables efficient voltage translation in low-power microcontroller I/O protection circuits. |
| High-speed switching | Sub-ns recovery time supports >100 MHz clock signal steering and RF envelope detection without tail current. |
| Low junction capacitance | 5 pF minimizes signal distortion in high-frequency AC coupling and RF mixer local oscillator injection paths. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSR0230HT1G | Lower VF (270 mV @ 1 mA) but higher IR (50 µA @ 30 V); same SOT-23 package. | Better efficiency in low-current bias networks; less suitable for high-temperature clamping due to leakage. | Select when minimizing forward loss dominates over leakage-critical hold time. |
| Vishay SD103ATW-TP | Higher IF (200 mA) and VR (35 V); SOD-123 package (larger footprint, higher Rth(j-a)). | Supports higher surge currents but adds 0.3 mm height and reduces board density. | Choose for industrial power supply snubbing where space is less constrained than in portable designs. |
Compared with NSR0230HT1G and SD103ATW-TP, the BAS40W delivers optimal balance of low VF, low Cd, and AEC-Q101 qualification in the smallest SMT footprint-making it preferred for space-constrained automotive and high-frequency signal applications.

FAQ
Is BAS40W suitable for bidirectional ESD protection?
No - the BAS40W is a unidirectional Schottky diode with anode and cathode terminals; it conducts only when anode is positive relative to cathode. For bidirectional ESD protection, a dual-diode array like PESD5V0S1BA is required. BAS40W is used in single-direction clamping configurations such as rail-to-ground or rail-to-rail.
What is the maximum allowable soldering temperature profile for BAS40W?
The BAS40W complies with JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow guidelines for MSL1 devices. Peak reflow temperature must not exceed 260 °C for ≤30 seconds, with ramp-up rate ≤3 °C/s and ramp-down rate ≤6 °C/s. Wave soldering is supported per Figure 7 footprint with preheat ≤100 °C and contact time ≤5 s.
Does BAS40W have a built-in thermal shutdown mechanism?
No - the BAS40W is a passive discrete diode with no integrated thermal protection circuitry. Safe operation depends on external thermal design: PCB copper area, ambient airflow, and power dissipation limits derived from its 625 K/W Rth(j-a) and 150 °C max junction temperature.
Can BAS40W replace BAT54 series diodes in existing designs?
Yes - the BAS40W shares identical SOT323 pinout and comparable electrical specs (VF ≈ 380 mV vs BAT54's 370 mV; VR = 40 V vs BAT54's 30 V). Its higher VR and AEC-Q101 qualification make it a functional upgrade, though layout review is recommended due to minor package dimension differences (e.g., body height 0.95 mm vs BAT54's 1.1 mm).
