Product details
Overview
BAT46GW-QX from Nexperia is a planar Schottky barrier diode with integrated guard ring for stress protection, rated at 100 V reverse voltage and 250 mA forward current, featuring 710 mV typical forward voltage at 250 mA and ≤4 µA reverse leakage at 75 V - deployed in automotive line termination and reverse polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAT46GW-QX datasheet, BAT46GW-QX pinout, BAT46GW-QX application, or BAT46GW-QX equivalent, key selection criteria include low VF (≤850 mV), AEC-Q101 qualification, SOD123 package thermal resistance (190 K/W to solder point), and 5.9 ns reverse recovery time in high-speed switching designs.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses a planar silicon structure with an integrated guard ring to enhance ruggedness against transient overvoltage and ESD stress. Its low junction capacitance (21–39 pF) and fast trr (5.9 ns) support operation in >10 MHz switching and clamping applications.
Thermal performance is defined for two PCB mounting conditions: standard SOD123 footprint yields Rth(j-a) = 320 K/W, while a 1 cm² cathode pad reduces it to 190 K/W - enabling reliable 250 mA DC operation up to 125 °C ambient when properly heatsinked.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Voltage (VR) | 100 V maximum - supports 48 V automotive bus clamping with 2× safety margin. |
| Forward Current (IF) | 250 mA continuous - sufficient for signal-level power rail protection and biasing. |
| Forward Voltage (VF) | 710 mV typ. at 250 mA - minimizes conduction loss in low-voltage reverse polarity guards. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | 1 µA typ. at 75 V - ensures low standby power in always-on automotive modules. |
| Reverse Recovery (trr) | 5.9 ns - enables clean edge handling in 10–50 MHz digital line termination. |
| Junction Temp (Tj) | 150 °C max - allows operation in under-hood environments with localized heating. |
| Capacitance (Cd) | 21 pF at 1 V - preserves signal integrity in high-speed data line clamping. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in a compact SOD123 surface-mount plastic package (2.675 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.15 mm body), with cathode marked by a bar on the device top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Negative terminal; marking bar identifies this pin - connects to system ground or return path in reverse polarity protection. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Positive terminal; ties to input power rail - current flows anode-to-cathode during forward conduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring integration | Enhances ESD and transient surge immunity without external components - critical for AEC-Q101 compliance. |
| Low VF / low IR trade-off | 710 mV VF at 250 mA with only 1 µA IR at 75 V - balances efficiency and leakage in battery-sensitive systems. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C) and mechanical stress - suitable for engine control and body electronics. |
| SOD123 thermal design | 190 K/W Rth(j-sp) with 1 cm² cathode pad - enables 250 mA operation at 85 °C ambient without derating. |
Applications
| High-Speed Switching | Line Termination |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Fast-switching DC-DC converter freewheeling path in ADAS camera modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode providing low-loss current recirculation during MOSFET off-time. Use Value: 5.9 ns trr prevents shoot-through overlap; 710 mV VF reduces power loss by 18% vs. standard silicon diodes at 250 mA. |
Use Scenario: RS-485/USB data line termination in infotainment head units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp diode limiting overshoot/undershoot to ±0.5 V beyond rail. Use Value: 21 pF capacitance avoids signal distortion at 25 Mbps; 100 V VR withstands ESD transients per IEC 61000-4-2. |
| Voltage Clamping | Reverse Polarity Protection |
Use Scenario: 12 V battery input protection in telematics control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient voltage clamp shunting spikes above 12 V to ground. Use Value: Guard ring sustains 100 V repetitive clamping; 4 µA IR at 75 V prevents battery drain in parked state. |
Use Scenario: Input protection for 5 V microcontroller power rails in automotive sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-connected anode-to-load, blocking reverse current if battery is misconnected. Use Value: 710 mV VF adds <1% voltage drop at 250 mA - preserves brown-out margin for 5 V LDOs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STMicroelectronics STPS0530Z | 30 V VR, 500 mA IF, VF = 450 mV typ. at 500 mA - lower voltage rating but higher current and lower VF. | Not suitable for 48 V+ clamping; better for 3.3/5 V rail protection where low VF dominates. | Select when operating voltage ≤30 V and forward loss is primary concern. |
| Vishay VS-2EDH01HM3/85A | 100 V VR, 200 mA IF, VF = 790 mV typ. at 200 mA, AEC-Q101 qualified - slightly lower current rating and higher VF. | Compatible for reverse polarity protection but derates to 200 mA continuous - limits use in sustained 250 mA loads. | Select when footprint compatibility with SMB is required and 200 mA suffices. |
Compared with BAT46GW-QX, STPS0530Z offers superior efficiency below 30 V but fails at automotive 48 V transients, while VS-2EDH01HM3/85A matches voltage rating and qualification but requires current derating - BAT46GW-QX uniquely balances 100 V, 250 mA, and AEC-Q101 in SOD123.

FAQ
Is BAT46GW-QX pin-compatible with BAT46W?
No. BAT46GW-QX uses the SOD123 package (2.675 mm × 1.6 mm), while BAT46W uses SOD123W - a variant with different land pattern and thermal pad layout. Mechanical dimensions and solder footprint differ per Nexperia's footprints in Figures 9 and 10 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum allowable pulsed forward current for BAT46GW-QX?
The non-repetitive peak forward current (IFSM) is 2.5 A for tp < 10 ms square-wave pulses at Tj(init) = 25 °C, as specified in Table 5. This rating assumes FR4 PCB mounting with standard footprint and applies only to short-duration transients.
Does BAT46GW-QX support reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes. The device is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020D, with peak temperature up to 260 °C. Figure 9 provides the recommended reflow footprint (2.36 mm × 1.11 mm cathode pad), and thermal resistance values assume this mounting configuration.
How does the guard ring affect reliability in automotive environments?
The integrated guard ring improves resistance to localized avalanche breakdown during load-dump transients and ESD events. Per AEC-Q101 testing, it enables sustained operation at 100 V VR with <4 µA IR after 1000 hours at 125 °C - directly supporting under-hood module longevity.
