Product details
Overview
SBG1040CT from Diodes Incorporated is a 40 V, 10 A dual common-cathode surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in D²PAK (TO-263) package, featuring 0.55 V forward voltage at 5.0 A per element, 125 A non-repetitive surge rating, and guard ring die construction for transient protection-used in low-voltage DC/DC converter output stages and polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SBG1040CT datasheet, SBG1040CT pinout, SBG1040CT application, or SBG1040CT equivalent, key selection criteria include peak reverse voltage (40 V), average output current (10 A @ TC = 95°C), thermal resistance (3.0 °C/W), and dual common-cathode configuration for synchronous rectification or dual-output supplies.
Technical Context
This dual Schottky rectifier integrates two independent anode terminals sharing a single cathode, enabling parallel output rectification or independent channel operation with shared thermal path. Its guard ring die structure enhances ruggedness against voltage transients without external snubbers.
Designed for high-frequency switching topologies, it delivers low conduction loss (VF = 0.55 V @ 5 A) and fast recovery (no minority-carrier storage), minimizing switching losses in 100–500 kHz DC/DC converters and free-wheeling applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage per diode element; sets upper limit for input/output voltage rails in buck or flyback secondary side. |
| IO | 10 A @ TC = 95°C - Continuous average forward current per element with heatsink; defines usable output power in 12 V/24 V industrial SMPS. |
| VFM | 0.55 V @ IF = 5.0 A - Low forward drop reduces conduction loss by >40% vs. standard PN rectifiers, improving efficiency in high-current paths. |
| IFSM | 125 A (8.3 ms half-sine) - Peak surge capability supports inrush current handling during hot-plug or load-step events. |
| RθJC | 3.0 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables direct mounting to PCB copper pour or heatsink; allows ~33 W dissipation at ΔT = 100°C. |
| CT | 275 pF @ 1 MHz, 4 V - Low junction capacitance minimizes switching node ringing and EMI in high-dV/dt environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: D²PAK (TO-263), surface-mount, single-piece molded plastic case with tin-plated copper leads; UL 94V-0 rated, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode 1 | Input terminal for first Schottky element; connects to transformer secondary or switch node in dual-output topology. |
| Pin 2 & 4 | Cathode (common) | Shared cathode node for both diodes; serves as main output return path and primary thermal interface to PCB copper. |
| Pin 3 | Anode 2 | Input terminal for second Schottky element; enables independent control of two output rails or phase interleaving. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Improves avalanche ruggedness and transient immunity without adding external clamping components. |
| Low forward voltage (0.55 V) | Reduces power loss by ≥1.5 W per element at 5 A vs. comparable 45 V Schottkys, lowering thermal stress in compact layouts. |
| Dual common-cathode configuration | Enables space-efficient dual-output rectification with shared thermal path-ideal for 5 V + 3.3 V or ±12 V supplies. |
| 125 A surge rating | Withstands repeated cold-start surges in automotive accessory modules and PoE-powered devices without derating. |
Applications
| DC/DC Converter Output Stage | Polarity Protection Circuit |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS1040 | Single-element, same VRRM/IO, but no common-cathode dual configuration; RθJC = 4.5 °C/W. | Requires two discrete devices for dual-rail use; less thermally efficient in shared heatsink layouts. | Select when only one output rail is needed and board space permits separate placement. |
| MBR2040CT | Higher IO (20 A), same VRRM, but TO-220AC package; RθJC = 2.0 °C/W, leaded through-hole mounting. | Better thermal performance but incompatible with automated SMT assembly; larger footprint. | Select for high-power legacy designs where through-hole reliability and heatsink accessibility outweigh SMT benefits. |
Compared with SS1040 and MBR2040CT, SBG1040CT uniquely balances dual-channel integration, surface-mount compatibility, and thermal efficiency in a single D²PAK package-making it optimal for space-constrained, dual-output DC/DC converters requiring automated assembly.

FAQ
Is SBG1040CT suitable for automotive under-hood applications?
No-SBG1040CT is rated for operation from –65°C to +125°C junction temperature, but Diodes Incorporated explicitly marks it "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGN" and does not qualify it to AEC-Q101. It lacks automotive-specific screening, traceability, and failure rate data required for under-hood use.
Can SBG1040CT be paralleled with another unit to increase current capacity?
Paralleling is not recommended due to mismatch in forward voltage (VF) between units, which causes current imbalance. The device's 3.0 °C/W RθJC and D²PAK thermal design assume single-unit mounting; parallel use risks thermal runaway without active current sharing.
What is the meaning of "common-cathode" in SBG1040CT's configuration?
Common-cathode means both internal Schottky diodes share one cathode terminal (Pins 2 & 4), while having separate anodes (Pin 1 and Pin 3). This allows independent anode connections to different input sources while routing all output current through a single low-inductance cathode path to ground or output rail.
Does SBG1040CT require a heatsink for 10 A operation?
Yes-at 10 A average current and 0.55 V forward drop, power dissipation is ~5.5 W per element (11 W total). With RθJC = 3.0 °C/W, junction temperature rise exceeds safe limits without a heatsink or substantial PCB copper area (≥10 cm² 2 oz copper) acting as thermal spreader.
