What this Schottky pair does
The Infineon BAT6404WH6327XTSA1 is a Schottky diode array with two diodes connected in series inside a single PG-SOT323 package. Each diode handles 250 mA of average rectified current and blocks up to 40 V reverse voltage. The Schottky technology gives a fast 5 ns reverse recovery time, which matters when you are switching at higher frequencies and cannot afford the stored-charge delay of a standard PN junction.
Automotive-grade construction
This part carries an Automotive grade rating and is AEC-Q101 qualified, so it is screened for the thermal and mechanical stress profile expected in vehicle electronics. The junction temperature maxes out at 150 °C, which gives headroom for under-hood or engine-bay mounting where ambient temperatures climb. For a BOM that needs a qualified diode for an automotive ECU, sensor interface, or lighting module, this qualification saves the cost and paperwork of a separate qualification run.
Forward drop and leakage
At 100 mA forward current the maximum forward voltage is 750 mV — typical for a small-signal Schottky in this current class. Reverse leakage is 2 µA at 30 V reverse bias, which is low enough to keep standby drain negligible in battery-powered or always-on automotive circuits. The series pair configuration means you get two diodes in one package, saving board space and placement cost compared to two discrete SOT-23 diodes.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The BAT6404WH6327XTSA1 is listed as Active with ROHS3 compliance. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window has been announced, so it is safe to qualify into a production BOM without worrying about a near-term discontinuation.
