The Infineon BAS 70-04 B5003 is a dual Schottky diode in a series configuration, housed in a standard SOT-23-3 (PG-SOT23) surface-mount package. It is rated for a DC reverse voltage of 70 V and an average rectified current of 70 mA per diode, with a forward voltage drop of 1 V at 15 mA. The reverse recovery time is specified at 100 ps, making it suitable for high-speed switching and RF clamping applications where fast turn-off is needed. Typical uses include protection clamping in mixed-signal circuits, high-speed switching power supplies, and signal steering in telecom or instrumentation front ends.
Obsolete — sourcing reality for sustainment programs
The BAS 70-04 B5003 carries an obsolete lifecycle status.
The 100 ps reverse recovery time allows the diode to switch off faster than most standard Schottky diodes, which matters in high-frequency rectification or snubber circuits where stored charge causes losses.
