Product details
Overview
BAS70-04-Q from Nexperia is a general-purpose dual Schottky diode in SOT23 package, configured as two independent Schottky diodes sharing a common cathode (A1–K1 and A2–K2), with 70 V reverse voltage rating, 70 mA forward current capability, and 410 mV typical forward voltage at 1 mA - used for ultra-high-speed switching and voltage clamping in automotive power rail protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAS70-04-Q datasheet, BAS70-04-Q pinout, BAS70-04-Q application, or BAS70-04-Q equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, low 2 pF capacitance at 0 V, 100 nA reverse leakage at 50 V, thermal resistance of 500 K/W, and dual-diode topology enabling compact bidirectional clamping in space-constrained automotive ECUs.
Technical Context
This dual Schottky diode integrates two independent anode-cathode junctions in a single SOT23-3 package: Pin 1 = A1 (anode of diode 1), Pin 2 = K2 (cathode of diode 2), Pin 3 = K1/A2 (common terminal serving as cathode for D1 and anode for D2). Its architecture supports independent forward conduction paths with shared terminal optimization.
Designed for automotive-grade reliability, it operates across −65 °C to +150 °C ambient, delivers 10 µA max reverse current at 70 V, exhibits 750 mV VF at 10 mA, and maintains 1 V VF at 15 mA - enabling precise low-voltage clamping without thermal runaway in transient-suppression circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 70 V - defines maximum allowable DC or peak reverse bias before breakdown; suitable for 48 V automotive systems with margin. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 410 mV @ 1 mA - enables low-loss signal-level clamping and logic-level translation without significant voltage drop. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 100 nA @ 50 V - ensures minimal leakage in high-impedance sensing or standby power domains. |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 2 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - supports >100 MHz signal integrity in RF detector or high-speed data line protection. |
| Thermal Resistance (Rth(j-a)) | 500 K/W - indicates junction-to-ambient dissipation capability on standard FR4 PCB; limits continuous power to ~250 mW. |
| Junction Temperature (Tj) | 150 °C - specifies absolute maximum operating temperature; enables use in under-hood ECU environments. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 (TO-236AB) plastic surface-mount package: 3-terminal, 1.9 mm pitch, 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, tin-plated leads, optimized for reflow and wave soldering per IPC-7095.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode of Diode 1 (A1) | Input node for first Schottky path; connects to protected signal or supply rail requiring clamping to common reference. |
| 2 | Cathode of Diode 2 (K2) | Output node for second Schottky path; routes clamped current to ground or lower-potential rail. |
| 3 | Common Terminal (K1/A2) | Shared node acting as cathode for D1 and anode for D2 - enables bidirectional clamping between Pins 1 and 2 via this center terminal. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, ADAS sensors, and body electronics per stress test requirements. |
| Low forward voltage | 410 mV typ. at 1 mA enables efficient clamping in low-voltage microcontroller I/O protection without signal distortion. |
| Ultra-low capacitance | 2 pF at 0 V preserves signal edge integrity in USB 2.0, CAN FD, or LIN bus line protection. |
| High-speed switching | Sub-nanosecond recovery time inherent to Schottky structure minimizes switching loss in PWM-driven clamp circuits. |
| Low leakage current | 100 nA max at 50 V prevents battery drain in always-on automotive modules during sleep mode. |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Protection | High-Speed Logic-Level 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 NSR20F70HT1G | Higher VF (550 mV @ 1 mA), same 70 V VR, but rated only to 125 °C Tj (vs. 150 °C). | Lacks AEC-Q101 certification; not approved for under-hood automotive deployment. | Select when cost is primary and ambient temperature stays below 85 °C. |
| Vishay SDUR7004 | Same SOT23-3 pinout and 70 V VR, but higher IR (500 nA @ 50 V) and larger Cd (3.5 pF). | Lower leakage sensitivity makes it less suitable for battery-backed sensor nodes. | Prefer where higher surge current (150 mA IFSM) outweighs leakage and capacitance penalties. |
Compared with NSR20F70HT1G and SDUR7004, the BAS70-04-Q uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 150 °C operation, 2 pF capacitance, and 100 nA leakage - making it the only choice for thermally demanding, safety-critical automotive clamping where signal fidelity and long-term reliability are mandatory.

FAQ
Is BAS70-04-Q suitable for bidirectional ESD protection on differential data lines?
No - its internal configuration (A1–K1/A2–K2) forms two unidirectional Schottky paths sharing a common terminal, not a true bidirectional TVS structure. It provides effective unidirectional clamping from signal to ground or rail, but lacks symmetric breakdown for ±ESD pulse handling. For IEC 61000-4-2 compliance, dedicated bidirectional TVS arrays like PESD5V0S1BA should be used instead.
What is the maximum continuous forward current for each diode in BAS70-04-Q?
The datasheet specifies 70 mA as the absolute maximum continuous forward current (IF) per diode, based on thermal limits at Tamb = 25 °C with free-air conditions. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient; at 85 °C, maximum IF drops to approximately 45 mA due to the 500 K/W Rth(j-a) and 150 °C Tj limit.
Can BAS70-04-Q replace BAS70-05-Q in a design?
No - BAS70-04-Q has a common-cathode/anode configuration (Pin 3 = K1/A2), whereas BAS70-05-Q uses a common-anode topology (Pin 3 = A1/A2). Their pinouts are incompatible: swapping them would reverse one diode's polarity, causing functional failure. Board layout and schematic must match the exact topology.
Does BAS70-04-Q require special PCB layout considerations for thermal performance?
Yes - its 500 K/W Rth(j-a) assumes mounting on FR4 with single-sided 1 oz copper and standard SOT23 footprint. To improve thermal dissipation, add thermal vias under the center pad (Pin 3) and connect to inner-layer ground planes. Avoid large copper pours on top-side only, as they increase thermal resistance without conduction paths to internal layers.
