BAT54C-EVL-CT

Overview

The BAT54C-EVL-CT is a Schottky barrier diode array manufactured by Venkel. It features a common cathode configuration with two independent diodes in a single package. The device is rated for a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 30V and an average forward rectified current of 200mA. It utilizes a surface-mount SOT-23 (TO-236-3) package, measuring approximately 1.25mm x 0.80mm x 0.60mm. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +150°C junction temperature. It is designed for high-speed switching applications requiring low forward voltage drop.

Feature Summary

• Common cathode dual diode configuration for efficient circuit design
• Schottky technology ensures low forward voltage and fast switching speeds
• Compact SOT-23 surface mount package suitable for space-constrained layouts

Applications

• High-speed switching circuits
• Clamping and protection diodes
• Small signal rectification in consumer electronics

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CT' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm packaging details, such as tape and reel specifications or quantity per carrier. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact electrical ratings and package type required for the target application. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure compliance with current manufacturing standards and material declarations.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual common cathode Schottky arrangement is required in a minimal footprint. The 30V rating suits low-voltage digital logic interfaces. Consider thermal management requirements given the small package size. Compare leakage current specifications against other vendors if ultra-low standby power is critical. Verify compatibility with standard reflow soldering profiles for SOT-23 packages.
