Product details
Overview
BAT54H-QX from Nexperia is a planar Schottky barrier diode with integrated guard ring for stress protection, housed in a SOD123F surface-mount package. It delivers 30 V reverse voltage rating, 200 mA continuous forward current, 400 mV forward voltage at 10 mA, 2 µA reverse leakage at 25 V, and 10 pF capacitance at 1 V - enabling ultra-high-speed switching and polarity protection in automotive power rails.
For engineers reviewing the BAT54H-QX datasheet, BAT54H-QX pinout, BAT54H-QX application, or BAT54H-QX equivalent, this device supports AEC-Q101-qualified automotive designs where low VF, low Cd, and thermal robustness (Rth(j-a) = 330 K/W) are critical for clamping, termination, and reverse-polarity circuits.
Technical Context
The BAT54H-QX employs a planar Schottky junction with an integrated guard ring to enhance ESD and transient stress immunity without compromising switching speed. Its low-barrier metal-semiconductor interface yields sub-400 mV forward drop at 10 mA and maintains stable 10 pF capacitance up to 1 V reverse bias.
Qualified per AEC-Q101, it operates across −65 °C to +125 °C junction temperature with 375 mW total power dissipation on FR4 PCB. Thermal resistance from junction to solder point is 70 K/W, enabling reliable performance in space-constrained automotive modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR | 30 V maximum reverse voltage - defines safe blocking capability in 24 V automotive systems with transient margin. |
| IF | 200 mA continuous forward current - supports sustained load switching in sensor interface and bias networks. |
| VF @ 10 mA | 400 mV typical - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in low-voltage clamping paths. |
| IR @ 25 V | 2 µA maximum - ensures negligible leakage in high-impedance line termination and backup power paths. |
| Cd @ 1 V | 10 pF typical - enables >100 MHz signal integrity in USB, CAN, or LIN bus protection circuits. |
| Rth(j-a) | 330 K/W - determines thermal rise under 200 mA DC load on standard FR4 PCB with single-sided copper. |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in the SOD123F plastic surface-mount package (2.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.1 mm), the BAT54H-QX uses a two-terminal configuration with cathode marked by a bar on the body.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to system ground or lower-potential node; marking bar identifies this terminal for correct orientation during placement. |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to input or higher-potential rail; forms forward conduction path when biased above cathode by ≥400 mV. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring integration | Enhances ruggedness against ESD and voltage transients without increasing VF or Cd - critical for unshielded automotive harness interfaces. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive-grade reliability including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD testing - eliminates requalification effort for Tier 1 designs. |
| Low thermal resistance to solder point | Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W - enables efficient heat transfer from junction to PCB copper through cathode tab, supporting 300 mA pulsed operation. |
| Small SOD123F footprint | 2.6 mm × 1.6 mm area - fits dense layouts in ADAS camera modules, body control units, and infotainment power sequencers. |
Applications
| Ultra-High-Speed Switching | Voltage Clamping |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Fast-switching DC-DC converter synchronous rectification and flyback snubber networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Schottky diode providing low-loss freewheeling path with <10 ns reverse recovery time.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSS40201MR6T1G | SOD-123 package, 40 V VR, 200 mA IF, VF = 450 mV @ 10 mA, Cd = 12 pF @ 1 V | Higher VR margin but slightly higher VF and Cd - suitable where 40 V transient suppression is required over 30 V. | Select when system-level transients exceed 30 V and layout allows 12 pF capacitance impact on signal integrity. |
| Diodes Incorporated SD103AW-TP | SOD-123 package, 40 V VR, 200 mA IF, VF = 470 mV @ 10 mA, Cd = 15 pF @ 1 V, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Lacks automotive qualification and exhibits higher capacitance - appropriate for industrial or consumer power rails only. | Choose only for non-automotive applications where cost sensitivity outweighs AEC-Q101 compliance and low-Cd requirements. |
Compared with NSS40201MR6T1G and SD103AW-TP, the BAT54H-QX offers the lowest VF (400 mV) and Cd (10 pF) among AEC-Q101-qualified SOD123F Schottkys, making it optimal for high-speed, thermally constrained automotive signal and power paths.

FAQ
Is BAT54H-QX suitable for 24 V automotive battery reverse-polarity protection?
Yes. With a 30 V reverse voltage rating and 400 mV forward voltage at 10 mA, BAT54H-QX provides low-loss series protection on 24 V rails. Its AEC-Q101 qualification ensures reliability under automotive temperature and vibration stress, and the guard ring enhances survivability during load dump events.
What is the thermal performance of BAT54H-QX on a standard FR4 PCB?
On a standard FR4 board with single-sided copper and tin-plated finish, BAT54H-QX exhibits Rth(j-a) = 330 K/W and Rth(j-sp) = 70 K/W. At 200 mA DC, this results in ~66 °C junction-to-ambient rise, well within its 125 °C max Tj limit when ambient remains ≤59 °C.
How does the guard ring improve robustness in BAT54H-QX?
The integrated guard ring mitigates edge breakdown under high electric field stress, improving ESD immunity (HBM >8 kV) and transient tolerance without degrading forward characteristics. This is confirmed in Nexperia's AEC-Q101 test reports for mechanical and electrical stress screening.
Can BAT54H-QX replace BAT54C in existing SOD-123 designs?
No. BAT54C is a dual common-cathode Schottky in SOT-23, while BAT54H-QX is a single diode in SOD123F. Pin count, package outline, and thermal behavior differ significantly - direct replacement requires PCB layout revision and validation of thermal and electrical margins.
