Product details
Overview
BAT120S,115 from NXP Semiconductors is a Schottky barrier double diode in SOT223 package, configured as a common-cathode dual diode with pins 1 (anode 1), 3 (anode 2), and 4 (cathode shared). It delivers 1 A continuous forward current, 25 V reverse voltage rating, and 400–450 mV forward voltage at 1 A, enabling efficient polarity protection and low-loss rectification in compact DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the BAT120S,115 datasheet, BAT120S,115 pinout, BAT120S,115 application, or BAT120S,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its common-cathode topology, 10 A non-repetitive surge capability, thermal resistance of 100 K/W, and suitability for space-constrained industrial power rails requiring fast recovery and low VF.
Technical Context
The BAT120S,115 integrates two planar Schottky junctions in a single SOT223 thermally enhanced plastic package with an exposed collector pad. Its guard ring protection ensures stable reverse leakage up to 1 mA at 25 V and 125 °C junction temperature.
Designed for high-efficiency switching operation, it exhibits fast recovery (inherently near-zero reverse recovery time), low switching losses due to absence of minority-carrier storage, and capacitance of 100 pF at 4 V reverse bias - critical for EMI-sensitive SMPS input stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VF @ 1 A | 400–450 mV: Enables <0.45 W conduction loss per diode at full load, reducing thermal burden in 5–12 V output rails. |
| VR | 25 V: Supports input rectification for 24 V nominal systems with 20 % tolerance margin. |
| IF(cont) | 1 A per diode: Allows dual-path 1 A output or redundant 500 mA paths in fault-tolerant designs. |
| IFSM | 10 A (tp < 10 ms): Absorbs inrush surges during hot-plug or capacitor charging without degradation. |
| IR @ 25 V | ≤1 mA at 25 °C: Limits standby power loss in always-on polarity protection circuits. |
| Rth j-a | 100 K/W: Requires minimal PCB copper area (≥1 cm² thermal pad) to maintain Tj < 125 °C at 1 A. |
Pinout & Package
SOT223 (SC-73) surface-mount package with 4 leads: lead 1 = anode 1, lead 2 = no connection, lead 3 = anode 2, lead 4 = common cathode. Exposed thermal pad on underside enhances heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode 1 | Input path for first diode; connects to source rail in dual-input redundancy or split-output configuration. |
| 2 | No connection | Electrically isolated; must not be soldered or tied to any net to avoid mechanical stress or parasitic coupling. |
| 3 | Anode 2 | Independent input path for second diode; enables OR-ing or dual-source selection with shared cathode output. |
| 4 | Common cathode | Single output node; routes combined forward current to load or filter capacitor; ties directly to ground plane for thermal management. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring protection | Prevents edge breakdown under high dv/dt, ensuring stable IR performance across temperature and voltage stress. |
| Low VF at high IF | 400–450 mV @ 1 A reduces conduction loss by >30 % vs. standard silicon diodes in 5–12 V outputs. |
| Fast recovery (Schottky) | Zero stored charge eliminates reverse recovery spikes, simplifying EMI filtering in 100–500 kHz SMPS. |
| SOT223 thermal pad | Exposed copper pad lowers thermal resistance by ~40 % vs. standard SOT23, supporting 1 A continuous operation. |
Applications
| Redundant Power Input | Polarity Protection |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky double diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSS40201MR6T1G | Common-anode configuration; 40 V VR; 2 A IF; VF = 490 mV @ 2 A. | Requires circuit redesign for cathode-referenced output; better suited for higher-voltage 24–48 V rails. | Select when VR margin >20 V is required and layout allows anode-common topology. |
| Vishay SS22 | Single Schottky diode; 20 V VR; 2 A IF; VF = 500 mV @ 2 A; DO-214AC package. | Lacks dual-diode integration; requires two devices and extra board area for dual-path use. | Choose only for discrete replacement where dual functionality is not needed and thermal pad is not critical. |
Compared with NSS40201MR6T1G and SS22, BAT120S,115 uniquely provides common-cathode dual integration in thermally optimized SOT223, delivering lowest VF per amp in 25 V-class applications where shared output node and compact footprint are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of BAT120S,115?
Pin 1 is anode 1, pin 2 is no connection (NC), pin 3 is anode 2, and pin 4 is the common cathode. This common-cathode arrangement allows dual-input or dual-output configurations sharing one output node. Pin 2 must remain unconnected to avoid mechanical stress or unintended coupling.
Can BAT120S,115 replace BAT120A or BAT120C?
No - BAT120S has a common-cathode configuration, whereas BAT120A is common-anode and BAT120C is series-connected. Their internal topologies differ fundamentally: swapping them without circuit revision causes functional failure or short circuits. Always verify pin mapping and schematic symbol before substitution.
What is the maximum junction temperature and how is it managed?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 125 °C. With Rth j-a = 100 K/W, maintaining Tj ≤ 125 °C at 1 A requires ambient ≤ 25 °C unless additional copper area or airflow is provided. Use the exposed thermal pad on the SOT223 package and connect it to a ≥1 cm² internal ground plane for effective heat transfer.
Is BAT120S,115 suitable for automotive applications?
While BAT120S,115 meets AEC-Q200 stress test guidelines for temperature cycling and humidity, it is not officially qualified to AEC-Q101. For automotive-grade deployment, consult NXP's automotive-qualified equivalents such as the PDS120S series, which include extended temperature screening and PPAP documentation.
