BAT46

Single Diodes Overview

The BAT46 is a general-purpose silicon Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It features a single diode configuration housed in a DO-35 axial through-hole package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and an average forward rectified current of 150 mA. The device exhibits a low forward voltage drop of approximately 1 V at specified currents, with a maximum non-repetitive peak forward surge current capability of 750 mA. Operating temperatures range from -65 °C to +125 °C.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Utilizes Schottky barrier technology for high switching efficiency and low power loss.
• Features a robust glass passivated junction designed for reliability in general-purpose applications.
• Provides high breakdown voltage characteristics suitable for signal processing tasks.

Single Diodes Applications

• High-frequency signal detection and mixing circuits
• Clamping and protection of sensitive input stages
• General-purpose rectification in low-power electronic systems

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet for the BAT46 to confirm exact mechanical dimensions and thermal characteristics. Ensure the selected component matches the required DO-35 package style and lead configuration for your circuit board layout. Cross-reference specifications such as forward voltage and leakage current against your design constraints before finalizing procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-capacitance, fast-switching diode is required for signal handling rather than high-power conversion. The DO-35 package is appropriate for through-hole assembly processes. Consider the 100 V reverse voltage rating to ensure adequate margin for peak inverse voltages present in the target application environment.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the broader category of small-signal Schottky diodes produced by STMicroelectronics. It serves as a discrete semiconductor solution within their portfolio of passive and active components. The BAT46 is distinct from surface-mount variants like the BAT46JFILM due to its axial leaded construction, catering specifically to legacy or through-hole manufacturing requirements.
