Product details
Overview
BAT46SFILM from STMicroelectronics is a dual-series-connected small-signal Schottky diode in SOT-23 package, rated for 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 150 mA continuous forward current, with typical junction capacitance of 6 pF at 1 V and forward voltage drop of 0.45 V at 10 mA. It serves in high-speed polarity protection and signal routing circuits where low conduction loss and negligible switching loss are critical.
For engineers reviewing the BAT46SFILM datasheet, BAT46SFILM pinout, BAT46SFILM application, or BAT46SFILM equivalent, key selection criteria include series-diode configuration for bidirectional clamping, thermal resistance of 500 °C/W (junction-to-ambient on epoxy PCB), and low-leakage performance up to 75 V reverse bias at elevated temperature.
Technical Context
The BAT46SFILM integrates two Schottky diodes in series within a single SOT-23 outline, enabling symmetrical clamping or back-to-back protection without external interconnects. Its low VF (0.45 V typ. @ 10 mA) and negligible stored charge support operation in high-frequency signal path conditioning and ESD-tolerant I/O buffering.
This configuration avoids reverse recovery time limitations inherent in PN junction diodes, while its 150 °C maximum junction temperature and 500 °C/W thermal resistance allow reliable use in compact, thermally constrained PCB layouts with standard FR4 copper pad design.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - supports protection in 48 V industrial bus and 24 V automotive auxiliary lines |
| IF (continuous) | 150 mA - sufficient for low-power sensor interface and logic-level signal routing |
| VF @ 10 mA | 0.45 V - minimizes forward power loss in battery-powered signal paths |
| C @ 1 V | 6 pF - enables use in <100 MHz analog signal routing without significant capacitive loading |
| IR @ 75 V, 25°C | 5 µA - ensures stable leakage-limited clamping in precision analog front-ends |
| Rth(j-a) | 500 °C/W - requires minimum 25 mm² copper pour per lead for sustained 150 mA operation |
| Tj(max) | 150 °C - compatible with reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak soldering temperature |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 package (3-pin, 2.75–3.04 mm × 1.2–1.6 mm × 2.1–2.75 mm), JEDEC-compliant, ECOPACK® lead-free, surface-mountable with standard reflow profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode of Diode 1 | Input node for first diode in series chain; connects to protected signal source |
| Pin 2 | Cathode of Diode 1 / Anode of Diode 2 | Internal series junction; not externally accessible - defines mid-point potential |
| Pin 3 | Cathode of Diode 2 | Output node for second diode; ties to reference rail or clamp destination |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar series-connected Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NSR20F30HT1G | Single Schottky diode (not series); 30 V VRRM, 2 A IF, 0.42 V VF @ 1 A | Requires external series pairing; higher current rating but lower voltage capability | Select only if system operates ≤24 V and demands >200 mA forward current |
| DMN2016LFG-7 | Dual common-anode MOSFET-based protector; 20 V rating, active control, 25 mΩ RDS(on) | Active device requiring gate bias; not passive or polarity-agnostic | Choose only when programmable enable/disable and ultra-low forward drop are required |
Compared with NSR20F30HT1G and DMN2016LFG-7, BAT46SFILM uniquely delivers integrated series topology, 100 V standoff, and zero-bias operation - making it optimal for passive, high-voltage, space-constrained clamping where simplicity and reliability outweigh programmability or ultra-low RON.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of BAT46SFILM in SOT-23?
BAT46SFILM uses standard SOT-23 pinout: Pin 1 = Anode of Diode 1, Pin 2 = internal connection between Cathode of Diode 1 and Anode of Diode 2 (not accessible), Pin 3 = Cathode of Diode 2. This forms a monolithic series pair with no external tap at the internal node.
Can BAT46SFILM replace a single Schottky diode in a rectifier application?
No - BAT46SFILM is not intended for rectification. Its series configuration doubles forward voltage drop (~0.9 V total) and halves effective current rating versus a single diode. It is designed exclusively for bidirectional clamping, ESD suppression, and signal routing-not unidirectional power conversion.
Is BAT46SFILM suitable for 5 V logic-level I/O protection?
Yes. With 0.45 V VF at 10 mA and 6 pF capacitance, it clamps transients without distorting 5 V digital waveforms up to 50 MHz. Its 100 V VRRM provides ample margin against ESD (±8 kV contact) and inductive kickback in mixed-signal systems.
Does BAT46SFILM have automotive qualification?
No. BAT46SFILM is not specified as AEC-Q101 qualified. While it operates up to 150 °C junction temperature and meets JEDEC reflow standards, ST does not list it for automotive safety-critical or mission-critical applications per their disclaimer in the datasheet.
