Product details
Overview
BAT160S from Nexperia is a planar Schottky barrier double diode in SOT223 (SC-73) package, configured as two independent diodes sharing a common terminal (K1/A2). It delivers 60 V reverse voltage rating, 850 mV forward voltage at 2 A, and 10 A non-repetitive peak forward surge current. Used for polarity protection and low-power SMPS rectification in space-constrained industrial power modules.
For engineers reviewing the BAT160S datasheet, BAT160S pinout, BAT160S application, or BAT160S equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, thermal resistance (100 K/W), surge capability (10 A IFSM), reverse leakage (8 mA at 100 °C), and diode capacitance (60 pF), enabling accurate replacement and layout decisions.
Technical Context
The BAT160S integrates two Schottky diodes in a single SOT223 package with shared cathode/anode (Pin 4 = K1/A2), enabling compact dual-path rectification or back-to-back polarity protection. Its guard ring structure prevents edge breakdown under high dv/dt transients.
Thermal performance is defined for FR4 PCB mounting with single-sided copper (Rth(j-a) = 100 K/W); junction temperature is rated to 150 °C, supporting operation in thermally demanding environments without forced cooling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (Reverse Voltage) | 60 V - Maximum blocking voltage per diode; defines safe operating range in DC/DC input stages and reverse-battery protection circuits. |
| VF @ 2 A | 850 mV - Forward drop at full-rated DC current; enables <1.7 W conduction loss per diode at 2 A, critical for efficiency in low-voltage SMPS. |
| IFSM (Surge Current) | 10 A - Non-repetitive peak forward current (8.3 ms half-sine); supports robust inrush handling in adapter inputs and hot-swap circuits. |
| IR @ 100 °C | 8 mA - Reverse leakage at max junction temperature; determines standby power loss in always-on polarity guards. |
| Cd @ 4 V | 60 pF - Junction capacitance at 4 V reverse bias; impacts high-frequency switching noise and EMI in >100 kHz converters. |
| Rth(j-a) | 100 K/W - Thermal resistance on standard FR4 PCB; sets maximum power dissipation limit (~1.5 W) before exceeding 150 °C junction. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT223 (SC-73), 4-lead surface-mount plastic package with integrated heatsink pad (6.5 mm × 3.5 mm × 1.65 mm body, 2.3 mm lead pitch).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (Diode 1) | Input terminal for first diode path; connects to positive rail in polarity protection or SMPS anode-side rectification. |
| 2 | Not Connected | Internally isolated; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress. |
| 3 | Cathode (Diode 2) | Output terminal for second diode; used for output-side clamping or dual-rail rectification when paired with Pin 4. |
| 4 | Cathode (Diode 1) / Anode (Diode 2) | Common node enabling series-connected or back-to-back configurations; critical for compact dual-diode topologies like OR-ing or bidirectional clamp. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring protection | Prevents premature edge breakdown under high dv/dt, ensuring stable reverse recovery in fast-switching SMPS. |
| Low VF at high current | 650 mV typical at 1 A enables <0.65 W conduction loss per diode-reducing thermal load in 5–12 V output rails. |
| High IFSM capability | 10 A surge rating allows direct use in unfiltered AC/DC front-ends without external fusing or derating. |
| Optimized for FR4 PCB | Thermal design validated on standard single-sided copper; eliminates need for thermal vias or metal-core substrates. |
Applications
| Low-Power SMPS Rectification | Polarity Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Output rectification in 5–24 V, <50 W flyback or buck-derived DC/DC converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary output-side Schottky rectifier replacing slower PN diodes to reduce conduction loss and improve efficiency. Use Value: 850 mV VF at 2 A cuts conduction loss by ~40% vs. comparable 1 A PN diodes, directly improving light-load efficiency. |
Use Scenario: Reverse-voltage protection in battery-powered instrumentation and USB-powered peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Back-to-back configured BAT160S (Pins 1–4–3) blocks reverse current while maintaining <1.7 V total drop during normal operation. Use Value: Shared terminal (Pin 4) enables 2-diode protection in footprint of one SO-8, saving >30% board area vs. discrete dual-diode solutions. |
| DC Input Surge Clamping | OR-ing Diode Pair |
Use Scenario: Transient suppression at DC input of industrial controllers exposed to 12–48 V supply surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected diodes absorb 10 A surge pulses (8.3 ms) without failure, protecting downstream regulators. Use Value: IFSM rating exceeds IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surge requirements, eliminating need for TVS + series diode cascades. |
Use Scenario: Redundant power rail selection in telecom line cards and FPGA carrier boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Two BAT160S units configured as ideal diodes (anodes to supplies, cathodes tied to load) enable seamless switchover. Use Value: 60 pF capacitance minimizes high-frequency shoot-through risk during transition, improving reliability over higher-Cd alternatives. |
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 | Single-diode TO-220 package; 60 V VR, 1.7 A IF, VF = 570 mV @ 1.7 A | Lacks dual-diode integration; requires two devices and larger footprint for same function | Select when higher continuous current (>1.7 A) is needed per diode path and thermal mass outweighs size constraints. |
| MBR2060CT | TO-220AB dual common-cathode; 60 V VR, 20 A total IF, VF = 750 mV @ 10 A | Higher current rating but no shared-terminal topology; incompatible pinout and layout | Choose for high-power (>10 A) rectification where SOT223 thermal limits are exceeded and board space permits TO-220 mounting. |
Compared with STPS2L60 and MBR2060CT, the BAT160S uniquely offers dual-diode functionality with shared terminal (Pin 4) in ultra-compact SOT223, enabling area-sensitive designs where discrete pairing or TO-220 footprints are prohibitive-without sacrificing 60 V rating or 10 A surge capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous forward current per diode in the BAT160S?
The BAT160S is rated for 1 A continuous forward current per diode (IF = 1 A) at Tamb = 25 °C, derating linearly above that ambient temperature. This rating is defined in the Limiting Values table and confirmed by thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 100 K/W) and junction temperature limit (Tj ≤ 150 °C).
Can Pin 2 (n.c.) be used as a thermal pad or ground connection?
No-Pin 2 is internally not connected and must remain unconnected on the PCB. Using it as a thermal pad or ground violates the device's internal construction and may cause mechanical stress or solder joint reliability issues. Thermal performance relies solely on the exposed copper pad under the package body, not Pin 2.
Is the BAT160S qualified for automotive applications?
No-the BAT160S is explicitly marked as non-automotive qualified in its revision history (v.4, 20231012). It lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and automotive-grade testing. For automotive use, Nexperia offers the BAT160S-Q series, which undergoes additional stress screening and qualification per AEC standards.
How does the shared terminal (Pin 4) function in back-to-back polarity protection?
In back-to-back configuration, Pin 1 (A1) and Pin 3 (K2) serve as input/output terminals, while Pin 4 (K1/A2) forms the common node between diodes. This allows reverse current to be blocked in both directions with only three external connections-enabling true bidirectional protection without external wiring of separate cathodes/anodes.
