Detailed Description

BAT46W-V-GS08 is a small-signal Schottky barrier diode from Vishay, supplied in the compact SOD-123 package (Vishay case code 675). It is designed for fast switching, low forward drop, and low capacitance in low-current signal and general rectification tasks. Note: Although some sources tag this under “Integrated Circuits,” this device is a discrete diode, not an IC.

Key Features

Schottky technology for very fast switching

Low forward voltage drop for higher efficiency at low currents

Low junction capacitance for RF and high-speed signal paths

Small SOD-123 footprint for dense layouts

RoHS-compliant, halogen-free “Green” plating (GS08 suffix)

Tape-and-reel ready for automated assembly

Vishay reliability, with automotive and industrial-grade variants in the family

Wide operating temperature support (typical of Vishay small-signal diodes)

Key Advantages

Cuts conduction losses in low-current rectifiers and OR-ing circuits

Improves switching speed vs. standard PN diodes in logic-level and RF paths

Saves board space without sacrificing robustness

Stable performance over temperature for precision signal conditioning

Simplifies manufacturing with standard SMT footprint and tape packaging

Packaging

Package type: SOD-123 (Vishay case code 675)

Body/material: Molded epoxy, moisture-resistant; flame-retardant resin typical for SMD diodes

Leadframe/finish: Copper alloy with matte tin (Pb-free), “Green”/halogen-free per GS08 code

Typical size: About 2.7 mm (L) x 1.6 mm (W) x 1.1 mm (H) nominal for SOD-123 (check datasheet drawing for exact dimensions and tolerances)

Terminals/pinout: 2 terminals; diode orientation marked by a polarity band on the cathode end (see datasheet for pad numbering and recommended PCB land pattern)

Tape-and-reel: GS08 indicates RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel packing for automated placement (refer to datasheet/package spec for carrier tape dimensions and units per reel)

Thermal characteristics (typical for SOD-123 class): RθJA on FR-4 board commonly in the few-hundred K/W range; power dissipation in the few-hundred mW range; soldering temperature per JEDEC reflow profiles

Electrical properties (family-level overview): Schottky barrier diode; low Vf at low currents; fast reverse recovery; low junction capacitance suitable for high-speed and RF use; reverse voltage rating and current capability according to BAT46W family spec (consult datasheet for exact limits)

Lifecycle

Status: Active in production per current brand catalogs; no end-of-life notice publicly indicated at the time of writing

Second-source/equivalent or close alternatives (verify exact ratings, package, and pin orientation before use):

- Vishay family variants: reuse the same platform with different VR ratings: BAT42W-V, BAT43W-V, BAT45W-V (lower VR options), BAT46W-V (higher VR)

- Diodes Incorporated BAT46W-7-F (SOD-123, similar function and footprint)

- MCC (Micro Commercial Components) BAT46W-TP (SOD-123)

- Nexperia (formerly NXP) BAT46 family in SMD package (check exact suffix/package)
