Product details
Overview
BAS70,235 from Nexperia is a general-purpose Schottky diode in SOT23 package, designed for ultra-high-speed switching and voltage clamping. It delivers 70 mA forward current, 410 mV forward voltage at 1 mA, 70 V reverse voltage rating, and 2 pF capacitance at 0 V, operating across −65 °C to 150 °C ambient range.
For engineers reviewing the BAS70,235 datasheet, BAS70,235 pinout, BAS70,235 application, or BAS70,235 equivalent, key selection criteria include low forward voltage for efficiency-critical signal paths, low capacitance for RF and high-frequency timing circuits, and robust 70 V reverse breakdown in clamp protection designs.
Technical Context
The BAS70,235 implements a planar Schottky barrier structure optimized for fast recovery (sub-nanosecond) and minimal stored charge. Its anode–cathode configuration with internal terminal 2 unconnected enables compact layout in space-constrained SMD applications.
Thermal resistance from junction to ambient is 500 K/W on standard FR4 PCB, supporting continuous operation up to 150 °C junction temperature. Reverse leakage remains below 100 nA at 50 V and 25 °C, rising to 10 µA at rated 70 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Forward Voltage | 410 mV at 1 mA pulsed - enables low-loss biasing in precision analog front-ends |
| Reverse Voltage | 70 V - supports clamp protection in 48 V industrial bus interfaces |
| Forward Current | 70 mA continuous - sufficient for logic-level signal routing and level-shifting |
| Diode Capacitance | 2 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - minimizes signal distortion in >100 MHz RF detector paths |
| Reverse Leakage | 100 nA at 50 V, 25 °C - ensures stable DC bias in high-impedance sensor conditioning |
| Junction Temp Limit | 150 °C - allows operation in sealed enclosures without active cooling |
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 clamp or rectifier path |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | No internal bond; must remain floating-no PCB trace or solder mask required |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Forward current exit; ties to reference or ground in clamping configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High switching speed | Sub-nanosecond reverse recovery time enables use in >500 MHz pulse shaping |
| Low leakage current | 100 nA max at 50 V ensures minimal error current in high-gain op-amp feedback networks |
| Low capacitance | 2 pF typical allows integration into 2.4 GHz ISM-band antenna switch matching networks |
| High breakdown voltage | 70 V rating supports direct placement across 48 V PoE lines without external Zener stacking |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MBR0520L,215 | Lower VF (320 mV @ 1 mA), higher IF (500 mA), same SOT23 package | Better suited for power rail OR-ing; less optimal for low-current signal clamping due to higher leakage (2 µA @ 20 V) | Select when forward conduction loss dominates design; avoid where sub-µA leakage is critical |
| 1N5711TR | Higher VR (100 V), larger DO-35 package, VF = 490 mV @ 1 mA | Requires through-hole layout; better for high-voltage transient suppression in AC line sensing | Choose for legacy through-hole boards or >70 V clamping needs; not drop-in SMT replacement |
Compared with MBR0520L,215 and 1N5711TR, the BAS70,235 uniquely balances ultra-low capacitance (2 pF), moderate 70 V rating, and nanoscale switching for signal-path protection-making it optimal for high-frequency, low-current analog and digital interface clamping where layout density and RF integrity are prioritized.

FAQ
Is BAS70,235 automotive qualified?
No. The BAS70,235 is explicitly marked as non-automotive qualified per Nexperia's revision history. It lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and is not tested to automotive temperature or reliability standards. For automotive applications, Nexperia offers the BAS70-07W-Q variant with full AEC-Q101 certification and extended qualification testing.
What is the thermal resistance of BAS70,235 on a standard PCB?
The junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (Rth(j-a)) is 500 K/W when mounted on a single-sided FR4 PCB with standard SOT23 footprint and tin-plated copper. This value assumes free-air convection and no thermal vias or copper pour-adding 2 oz copper and two thermal vias reduces Rth(j-a) to approximately 220 K/W.
Can terminal 2 be used as a heatsink pad?
No. Terminal 2 is internally not connected (n.c.) and has no electrical or thermal connection to the die. It must remain electrically floating and provides no thermal benefit. Using it as a thermal pad violates the device's mechanical and thermal specifications and may cause solder joint reliability issues during reflow.
How does BAS70,235 perform at elevated temperatures?
At 125 °C ambient, forward voltage drops to ~370 mV at 1 mA, while reverse leakage increases to ~1.2 µA at 50 V. Junction temperature must stay ≤150 °C; with 70 mA forward current and 500 K/W thermal resistance, self-heating limits usable ambient to ~115 °C under worst-case conduction.
