SMD marking code A4

The marking A4 is used by BAV70 (dual switching diode, SOT-23), BAV70W (dual switching diode, SOT-323), and BAT760 (Schottky diode, SOD-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 · SOD-323 1.7 × 1.25 mm.

Look at where it sits: a small part next to a USB connector is often ESD protection or a Schottky diode; a 3- or 5-pin part near the power input is often a regulator.

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