Product details
Overview
BAT54W-QX from Nexperia is a planar Schottky barrier diode with integrated guard ring for stress protection, housed in an SOT323 (SC-70) package. It delivers 30 V reverse voltage rating, 800 mV forward voltage at 100 mA, 2 µA reverse leakage at 25 V, 10 pF capacitance at 1 V, and 5 ns reverse recovery time - enabling ultra-high-speed switching in automotive power rail clamping and reverse polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the BAT54W-QX datasheet, BAT54W-QX pinout, BAT54W-QX application, or BAT54W-QX equivalent, this component supports AEC-Q101-qualified designs requiring low VF, low Cd, fast trr, and robust thermal performance up to 150 °C junction temperature in space-constrained SMD layouts.
Technical Context
The BAT54W-QX implements a single-planar Schottky junction with guard ring structure to suppress edge breakdown under transient stress, ensuring stable operation in automotive load-dump and ESD-prone environments. Its low 10 pF capacitance and 5 ns trr enable clean signal integrity in high-frequency line termination and data-line clamping.
Rated for 200 mA continuous forward current and 600 mA non-repetitive peak surge, it operates across −55 °C to +150 °C ambient with 625 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance on standard FR4 PCB - making it suitable for thermally demanding engine control and infotainment subsystems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VR (Reverse Voltage) | 30 V - maximum blocking capability without avalanche conduction in clamping or reverse protection configurations |
| VF (Forward Voltage) | 800 mV at 100 mA - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in low-voltage power path applications |
| IR (Reverse Current) | 2 µA at 25 V - ensures negligible leakage in battery-backed or always-on circuits |
| Cd (Capacitance) | 10 pF at 1 V, 1 MHz - preserves signal rise/fall times in USB, I²C, and CAN bus line termination |
| trr (Reverse Recovery) | 5 ns - enables reliable operation above 50 MHz switching frequencies without tail current artifacts |
| Tj (Junction Temp) | 150 °C - supports sustained operation in under-hood automotive modules without derating |
| Ptot (Power Dissipation) | 200 mW at Tamb ≤ 25 °C - defines thermal limit for continuous DC or pulsed operation on standard PCB layout |
Pinout & Package
Encapsulated in SOT323 (SC-70), a 3-lead surface-mount plastic package measuring 2.0 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm with 1.3 mm lead pitch and optimized thermal pad footprint for reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode (A) | Current entry point; connects to positive supply or signal source in clamping/rectification paths |
| 2 | Not Connected (n.c.) | Internally isolated; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress |
| 3 | Cathode (K) | Current exit point; ties to ground, return path, or protected node in reverse polarity or voltage clamp topologies |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard Ring Integration | Suppresses edge breakdown during transients, improving reliability in automotive load-dump events |
| AEC-Q101 Qualification | Validated for automotive-grade production use per discrete semiconductor stress test requirements |
| Low Capacitance (10 pF) | Enables minimal signal distortion in high-speed digital interface termination (e.g., I²C, SPI) |
| Fast Reverse Recovery (5 ns) | Reduces switching losses and prevents shoot-through in synchronous rectifier or snubber circuits |
| SOT323 Footprint Compatibility | Matches JEDEC SC-70 standard for automated placement and reflow compatibility with legacy tooling |
Applications
| Automotive Power Rail Clamping | USB Data Line Protection |
|---|---|
|

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 NSR0230HT1G | Same SOT-23 package; 30 V VR, 420 mV VF @ 10 mA, but only 200 mW Ptot and no AEC-Q101 qualification | Limited to commercial-temp industrial or consumer use; unsuitable for under-hood automotive deployment | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and higher VF is acceptable at low currents |
| Vishay VS-2EDH01HM3/85A | SOD-323 package; identical 30 V VR and 5 ns trr, but 15 pF Cd and 1.1 V VF @ 100 mA | Higher capacitance degrades >100 MHz signal fidelity; higher VF increases conduction loss in power paths | Prefer only if SOD-323 board footprint is fixed and margin exists for increased VF and Cd trade-offs |
Compared with NSR0230HT1G and VS-2EDH01HM3/85A, the BAT54W-QX uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 10 pF capacitance, and 800 mV VF in SOT323 - delivering optimal balance of speed, efficiency, and automotive reliability where space and thermal constraints apply.

FAQ
Is BAT54W-QX pin-compatible with BAT54C or BAT54A?
No. BAT54W-QX uses SOT323 (3-pin, anode–n.c.–cathode) while BAT54C and BAT54A use SOT23 (3-pin, cathode–anode–n.c. or anode–cathode–n.c.). Pin 2 is not connected in BAT54W-QX but serves as cathode or anode in BAT54C/A variants - direct substitution will cause functional failure.
What is the maximum allowable PCB trace length for BAT54W-QX in 50 MHz switching applications?
For 5 ns trr and 10 pF Cd, trace inductance must stay below 3 nH to avoid ringing. On standard 1 oz FR4, this corresponds to ≤8 mm total trace length (including pad contributions) between anode/cathode and adjacent nodes - verified via TDR measurement in Nexperia's application note AN11124.
Does BAT54W-QX require derating at 105 °C ambient temperature?
Yes. With Rth(j-a) = 625 K/W, junction temperature rises 65.6 °C above ambient at full 200 mA DC current (P = 0.16 W). At Tamb = 105 °C, Tj = 170.6 °C - exceeding the 150 °C absolute max. Derate to ≤120 mA to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C per Nexperia's thermal guidelines.
Can BAT54W-QX be used in bidirectional ESD protection configurations?
No. As a unidirectional Schottky diode, it conducts only from anode to cathode. Bidirectional protection requires back-to-back diodes or dedicated TVS arrays. BAT54W-QX may serve as one leg in a discrete dual-diode ESD clamp, but cannot function alone for ±8 kV contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2.
