The BAS40-04,215 from Nexperia is a surface-mount Schottky barrier diode supplied in a 3-pin SOT-23 package. Schottky Diodes use a metal-semiconductor junction rather than a conventional silicon P-N junction, which yields a low forward voltage drop and fast switching; this part is specified at a 380 mV forward voltage with a 120 mA forward current rating. Peak reverse current is held to 10 uA and the device is rated for operation to a maximum of 150C. Nexperia supplies the BAS40-04,215 RoHS compliant on tape and reel in 3, 000-piece reels.

Low forward-drop Schottky Diodes such as the BAS40-04,215 are used for small-signal rectification, supply OR-ing and steering, clamping and reverse-polarity protection, and fast switching in low-power analog and digital circuits. The 380 mV forward voltage reduces conduction loss compared with a silicon P-N junction diode, which matters most on low-voltage and battery-powered rails. The SOT-23 footprint and 150C maximum rating suit densely populated consumer, industrial and communications boards. Typical buyers are hardware design and sourcing engineers specifying signal-level rectifier and protection stages.
