BAT160C-QX

Single Diodes Overview

The BAT160C-QX is a silicon Schottky rectifier diode manufactured by Nexperia. It features a dual-element configuration with a center tap, housed in an SOT-323 (SC-73) surface-mount package. The device is rated for a maximum continuous forward current of 1 A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 40 V. It operates within a junction temperature range up to 150 °C and is RoHS compliant.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Dual Schottky barrier rectifier elements integrated into a single compact package
• Center-tap configuration enabling efficient full-wave rectification
• Low switching loss characteristics suitable for high-frequency applications

Single Diodes Applications

• DC-DC converter circuits
• Power supply rectification
• Free-wheeling diodes in inductive load switching

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'QX' against the official Nexperia datasheet to confirm exact packaging details and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the component meets the required automotive or industrial qualification standards if applicable to the design. Cross-reference the pinout diagram with the target PCB footprint to prevent installation errors.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-profile, dual Schottky rectifier with a center tap is required for space-constrained designs. The 1 A current rating and 40 V blocking voltage define its operational limits. Consider the thermal performance and package type relative to the expected power dissipation and ambient operating conditions of the final application.

Single Diodes Part Context

This part belongs to Nexperia's BAT160 series of Schottky rectifiers. The series offers various configurations including common cathode and common anode setups. The BAT160C variant specifically provides a center-tapped arrangement, distinguishing it from other series members like the BAT160A or BAT160B which may have different internal connections.
