Product details
Overview
BAT160A from Nexperia is a planar Schottky barrier double diode in SOT223 (SC-73) package, configured as a common-anode dual cathode rectifier. It delivers 60 V reverse voltage rating, 850 mV forward voltage at 2 A, and 10 A non-repetitive peak forward current-optimized for low-loss rectification and polarity protection in automotive-grade power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the BAT160A datasheet, BAT160A pinout, BAT160A application, or BAT160A equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 100 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on FR4 PCB, dual-diode guard ring protection, and pulsed reverse current capability up to 8 mA at 100 °C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The BAT160A integrates two independent Schottky diodes sharing a common anode terminal (Pin 4), with isolated cathodes (Pins 1 and 3) and a no-connect terminal (Pin 2). Its planar structure enables fast recovery and low switching losses without minority-carrier storage delay.
Designed for high-surge environments, it sustains 10 A IFSM (8.3 ms half-sine) and maintains stable reverse leakage ≤8 mA at VR = 60 V and Tj = 100 °C-critical for transient-tolerant automotive power rail protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 60 V - Maximum continuous blocking voltage per diode; defines safe operating range in 12 V/24 V automotive systems. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 850 mV at IF = 2 A, Tamb = 25 °C - Low conduction loss enabling >92 % efficiency in 5–12 V SMPS output stages. |
| Peak Forward Current (IFSM) | 10 A (tp = 8.3 ms, half-sine) - Supports surge immunity during cold-crank or load-dump events in vehicle electronics. |
| Reverse Current (IR) | 8 mA at VR = 60 V, Tj = 100 °C - Confirmed leakage under worst-case thermal stress; ensures reliability in under-hood applications. |
| Junction-to-Ambient Rth(j-a) | 100 K/W on single-sided FR4 PCB - Enables thermal design with standard layout; limits ΔTj to 100 K at 1 A DC operation. |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 60 pF at VR = 4 V, f = 1 MHz - Minimizes high-frequency switching noise in buck converter freewheeling paths. |
Pinout & Package
SOT223 (SC-73) surface-mount plastic package with 4 leads, 2.3 mm pitch, 6.5 mm × 3.5 mm × 1.65 mm body, and integrated heatsink pad for enhanced thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (Diode 1) | Output node for first Schottky path; connects to load or filter capacitor in dual-rail configurations. |
| 2 | Not Connected | Internally unconnected; must remain floating-no PCB trace or solder mask required. |
| 3 | Cathode (Diode 2) | Independent output node for second Schottky path; enables dual-output or redundancy schemes. |
| 4 | Common Anode | Shared input node for both diodes; ties to positive supply rail or switch-node in synchronous rectifier topologies. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive use per Stress Test Qualification for Discrete Semiconductors-enables deployment in engine control, body electronics, and ADAS modules. |
| Guard ring protection | Integrated edge termination structure prevents premature avalanche breakdown at high dv/dt, improving ruggedness in noisy power rails. |
| Low VF at high current | 650 mV typ. at IF = 1 A, 25 °C-reduces conduction loss by ≥35 % versus standard silicon diodes in 5–12 V DC/DC converters. |
| Pulsed surge capability | 10 A IFSM (JEDEC method)-absorbs inrush and fault currents without degradation in battery management and lighting circuits. |
| Thermally optimized SOT223 | Exposed copper pad on leadframe enhances heat transfer to PCB copper pour-supports 1 A continuous operation without heatsink. |
Applications
| Automotive Battery Protection | Low-Power SMPS Output Rectification |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky double diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS2L60 | 60 V VR, 2 A IF, TO-220AC package; higher Rth(j-a) ≈ 50 K/W but larger heatsink interface. | Requires mechanical mounting and thermal interface material; unsuitable for space-constrained SMT-only designs. | Select when higher continuous current (>1.5 A) and forced-air cooling are available; not drop-in for SOT223 footprint. |
| MBR2060CT | 60 V VR, 20 A total IF (10 A per diode), TO-220AB package; no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Rated for industrial/commercial use only; lacks automotive stress test validation and guaranteed 150 °C operation. | Use only in non-automotive applications where cost-per-amp dominates and qualification is not mandated. |
Compared with STPS2L60 and MBR2060CT, BAT160A uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, SOT223 mountability, and dual-cathode isolation in a thermally efficient 4-pin footprint-making it the sole choice for space-limited, automotive-compliant dual-rail protection.

FAQ
Is BAT160A suitable for synchronous rectification in DC/DC converters?
No-BAT160A is a passive Schottky diode, not a synchronous rectifier IC. It functions as a freewheeling or output rectifier in non-controlled topologies like flyback or boost. For synchronous rectification, active MOSFET drivers or dedicated controller ICs are required. Its 850 mV VF at 2 A provides best-in-class passive rectification efficiency for <2 A applications.
What is the maximum continuous forward current per diode at 100 °C ambient?
The datasheet specifies 1 A continuous forward current (IF) per diode under recommended operating conditions. At Tamb = 100 °C, derating applies: with Rth(j-a) = 100 K/W and max Tj = 150 °C, the allowable power dissipation is 5 W, limiting IF to approximately 0.7 A per diode assuming VF ≈ 700 mV-verified via thermal simulation on standard FR4 layout.
Can Pin 2 (n.c.) be grounded or tied to a signal?
No-Pin 2 is internally not connected and must remain electrically floating. Connecting it to ground, supply, or any signal violates the device's qualified construction and may induce parasitic coupling or thermal imbalance. The SOT223 footprint should omit solder paste and copper trace for Pin 2 per Nexperia's reflow guidelines.
Does BAT160A support bidirectional current flow?
No-it operates unidirectionally as a Schottky rectifier. Current flows only from common anode (Pin 4) to either cathode (Pins 1 or 3); reverse conduction is blocked up to 60 V. Bidirectional operation would require back-to-back configuration with additional components, which is not supported by this monolithic dual-diode structure.
