SMD marking code A1

The marking A1 is used by AO3401 (P-channel MOSFET, SOT-23), BAW56 (dual switching diode, SOT-23), and BAW56W (dual switching diode, SOT-323). The package and the circuit around the part tell them apart.

How to tell them apart

Measure the plastic body without the leads: SOT-23 2.9 × 1.3 mm · SOT-323 2 × 1.25 mm.

In diode mode a MOSFET shows only its body diode, between source and drain and in one direction; nothing answers from the gate.

The same code can mean different parts at different makers. The package narrows it down, so measure the body.
