Product details
Overview
BAT46ZFILM from STMicroelectronics is a single high-voltage small-signal Schottky diode in SOD-123 package, designed for low-loss protection and signal routing in space-constrained DC/DC converters and USB power switches. It delivers 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 150 mA continuous forward current, 0.45 V typical forward voltage at 10 mA, 6 pF junction capacitance at 1 V, and operates up to 150 °C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the BAT46ZFILM datasheet, BAT46ZFILM pinout, BAT46ZFILM application, or BAT46ZFILM equivalent, key selection criteria include low VF for minimal conduction loss, low C for high-frequency routing integrity, high VRRM for 24–48 V system compatibility, and SOD-123 thermal performance in compact PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode uses a metal–semiconductor junction to eliminate minority-carrier storage delay, enabling negligible switching losses and fast recovery (trr not specified but inherently sub-nanosecond). Its low forward voltage drop stems from optimized barrier height and epitaxial structure, supporting efficient clamping and reverse-polarity protection in low-power analog and digital interfaces.
The device is rated for 150 °C maximum junction temperature and exhibits 500 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on epoxy PCBs with recommended pad layout. Reverse leakage remains below 5 µA at 75 V and 25 °C, ensuring stable blocking behavior in battery-backed and always-on circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - supports input protection in 24 V industrial rails and 48 V telecom systems without breakdown |
| IF(AV) | 150 mA - sufficient for signal-level routing, ESD clamp biasing, and low-current hold-up paths |
| VF @ 10 mA | 0.45 V typ - reduces forward conduction loss by >40% vs. standard silicon diodes at same current |
| C @ 1 V | 6 pF - enables clean signal integrity in USB 2.0 and I²C bus protection up to ~100 MHz |
| Tj(max) | 150 °C - allows operation in sealed enclosures or near heat sources without derating |
| IR @ 75 V | 5 µA max @ 25 °C - ensures reliable reverse isolation in battery monitoring and backup power paths |
| Rth(j-a) | 500 °C/W - defines thermal rise under steady-state 150 mA load on standard FR4 with minimal copper area |
Pinout & Package
SOD-123 surface-mount package: 2.55–2.85 mm length, 1.4–1.7 mm width, 1.45 mm height, cathode marked with band. Optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to source/rail side in reverse-polarity protection; accepts up to 1 A surge for 10 ms |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Marked with band; ties to ground or return path; withstands 100 V reverse bias continuously |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Very small conduction losses | 0.45 V VF at 10 mA enables <1 mW dissipation in 3.3 V logic rail clamping |
| Negligible switching losses | Zero minority-carrier storage eliminates reverse recovery charge, critical for >1 MHz switching nodes |
| Low forward voltage drop | 0.25 V at 0.1 mA supports ultra-low-current bias networks in sensor front-ends |
| Surface mount device | SOD-123 footprint occupies only 4.3 mm² PCB area-ideal for wearables and IoT edge nodes |
Applications
| USB Power Switch Protection | Industrial Sensor Signal Routing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Preventing backfeed and overvoltage in dual-source USB ports (e.g., host + battery). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional blocking diode placed between VBUS paths to enforce power flow direction. Use Value: 0.45 V VF minimizes voltage drop across switch path; 100 V VRRM guards against hot-plug transients. | Use Scenario: Isolating analog sensor outputs from shared microcontroller ADC inputs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal-routing Schottky diode enabling multiplexed sensor readout without cross-talk. Use Value: 6 pF capacitance preserves bandwidth >100 MHz; low IR avoids loading high-Z sensor outputs. |
| Reverse-Polarity Input Protection | Low-Power Hold-Up Circuit |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding 24 V DC input stages of PLC I/O modules against incorrect wiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Series-connected protection diode on main supply rail before LDO or DC/DC converter. Use Value: 150 mA IF rating handles full module quiescent load; 150 °C Tj(max) sustains operation in enclosed cabinets. | Use Scenario: Maintaining RTC or SRAM power during brief AC mains interruption in smart meters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OR-ing diode between main supply and supercapacitor backup path. Use Value: Low VF reduces energy loss during capacitor discharge; SOD-123 thermal mass stabilizes junction temp during pulse loads. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS12 | Higher VF (0.5 V min), larger SOD-123 variant with 200 mA IF rating | Better surge handling but higher conduction loss in low-voltage rails | Select when IFSM >1 A or long-term 150–200 mA DC load is required |
| BAT54C | Common-cathode dual diode in SOT-23; VF = 0.33 V @ 10 mA; VRRM = 30 V | Limited to ≤3.3 V systems; saves board space for dual-rail protection | Choose for dual-rail (e.g., VDD/VIO) clamping where 30 V rating suffices |
Compared with SS12 and BAT54C, BAT46ZFILM offers the optimal balance of 100 V blocking, ultra-low VF, and minimal 4.3 mm² footprint-making it preferred for space-limited 24–48 V industrial interfaces requiring precision low-loss routing.

FAQ
What is the cathode marking convention for BAT46ZFILM?
The cathode is marked by a visible band at one end of the SOD-123 package body. When viewed from top with marking band on left, the left pad is cathode and right pad is anode-confirmed in ST's package drawing Figure 12 and ordering table.
Can BAT46ZFILM be used in 5 V logic-level clamping applications?
Yes. With 0.45 V VF at 10 mA and 0.25 V at 0.1 mA, it provides effective clamping below 5 V logic thresholds while adding negligible loading. Its 100 V VRRM ensures margin against ESD and transient overshoot beyond 5 V rails.
Is BAT46ZFILM RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes. BAT46ZFILM is supplied in ECOPACK® packaging with lead-free second-level interconnect, compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JESD97. The inner box label indicates lead-free status and maximum soldering temperature (260 °C).
How does thermal performance compare between SOD-123 and SOT-23 packages for this diode?
SOD-123 has Rth(j-a) = 500 °C/W on FR4, while SOT-23 variants (e.g., BAT46FILM) specify 500 °C/W as well-but SOD-123's larger pad area improves heat spreading. In practice, SOD-123 achieves ~10–15 °C lower junction rise at 150 mA due to superior copper coupling in standard layouts.
