BAT165AX

Single Diodes Overview

The BAT165AX is a medium power Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by Nexperia USA Inc. It features an integrated guard ring for stress protection and is encapsulated in a compact SOD-323 (SC-76) surface-mounted device plastic package. The component operates with a maximum reverse voltage of 40 V and supports a forward current up to 0.75 A. Key electrical characteristics include a typical forward voltage of 640 mV at 750 mA and a low reverse current of 1.5 µA at 40 V. The device handles a non-repetitive peak forward current of 8 A and dissipates up to 555 mW of power, functioning within a junction temperature range of -55 °C to 150 °C.

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'X' against the official Nexperia datasheet to confirm packaging details such as reel size or tape specifications. Ensure the selected variant matches the required RoHS compliance status and lead-free soldering requirements for your assembly process. Confirm that the non-automotive qualification aligns with your project's environmental standards, as automotive-grade alternatives may be necessary for regulated sectors.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring efficient rectification in compact form factors. The SOD-323 package suits designs with limited board space. Consider the thermal resistance values when designing heat dissipation strategies, particularly for high-duty cycle operations. Verify that the 40 V reverse voltage rating provides sufficient margin for your circuit's peak inverse voltage conditions to ensure reliable long-term operation.

Single Diodes Part Context

The BAT165A belongs to Nexperia's portfolio of medium power Schottky barrier rectifiers designed for general-purpose switching and rectification tasks. The 'BAT165AX' designation indicates a specific commercial version packaged for automated surface-mount assembly. This series emphasizes low forward voltage drop and fast switching capabilities, making it suitable for modern power management circuits where energy efficiency and physical footprint are critical design constraints.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Consult the Nexperia product selector for equivalent Schottky diodes with matching voltage and current ratings if the BAT165AX is unavailable. Verify pinout compatibility and package dimensions before substituting with other manufacturers' components to ensure seamless integration into existing PCB layouts without redesign.
