The BAS 40-05 B5003: Schottky diode with a 1 pair common cathode configuration, rated for 40 V reverse voltage and 120 mA average rectified current per diode. The 100 ps reverse recovery time suits high-speed switching applications.
Infineon lists the BAS 40-05 B5003 as obsolete. That means no factory orders, no last-time-buy window — the only channel is surplus inventory or broker stock.
Common cathode pair — why it matters for layout
The 1 pair common cathode arrangement means both anodes share a single cathode node, reducing trace length and parasitic inductance in high-speed switching loops. For a flyback clamp or a dual-diode OR-ing circuit, this one-package solution saves board area versus two discrete SOT-23 diodes and simplifies the routing.
