Product details
Overview
SBG2040CT from Diodes Incorporated is a 40 V, 20 A dual common-cathode surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in D²PAK (TO-263) package, featuring 0.55 V forward voltage at 10 A per element, 225 A non-repetitive surge capability, and 2.0 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance-designed for low-voltage, high-frequency DC/DC converters and polarity protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SBG2040CT datasheet, SBG2040CT pinout, SBG2040CT application, or SBG2040CT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40 V blocking rating, dual common-cathode configuration, thermal performance under 105°C case temperature, RoHS-compliant tin finish, and compatibility with automated SMT assembly on heatsinked PCBs.
Technical Context
This dual-element Schottky rectifier integrates two independent anode terminals sharing a single cathode terminal, enabling synchronous rectification or dual-output DC path management. Its guard ring die construction provides transient overvoltage immunity without external clamping components.
The device operates across –65°C to +150°C junction temperature range and delivers stable 650 pF typical junction capacitance at 1 MHz and 4 V reverse bias-critical for minimizing switching losses in high-frequency (>100 kHz) SMPS topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage per element; defines safe DC blocking margin in 24–36 V bus applications. |
| IO (TC = 105°C) | 20 A - Average rectified current per element at 105°C case temperature; enables compact heatsink design in power supplies. |
| VFM @ IF = 10 A | 0.55 V - Forward voltage drop per element; reduces conduction loss to ≤5.5 W per diode at full rated current. |
| IFSM (8.3 ms) | 225 A - Non-repetitive surge current rating; supports inrush current handling in motor drives and UPS systems. |
| RθJC | 2.0 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; allows direct mounting to copper pour or heatsink for efficient thermal transfer. |
| CT @ 1 MHz, 4 V | 650 pF - Total junction capacitance per element; limits capacitive switching loss and EMI generation in >100 kHz converters. |
Pinout & Package
Package: D²PAK (TO-263), molded plastic case with UL 94V-0 flammability rating, 1.7 g mass, and tin-plated terminals solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode 1 | Input terminal for first rectifying element; connects to AC or switching node in half-bridge or dual-output topology. |
| Pin 2 & 4 | Cathode (common) | Shared output node for both elements; requires low-inductance PCB trace routing to minimize voltage overshoot during commutation. |
| Pin 3 | Anode 2 | Input terminal for second rectifying element; enables independent control of two DC paths or interleaved operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Provides intrinsic transient voltage suppression (TVS-like behavior) without external components-reduces BOM count in industrial power modules. |
| Low forward voltage (0.55 V @ 10 A) | Minimizes conduction loss by ≥30% vs. standard silicon rectifiers, improving efficiency in 12–48 V DC/DC stages. |
| 225 A surge rating | Withstands motor startup surges and capacitor charging transients in battery-powered inverters without derating. |
| Dual common-cathode configuration | Enables space-efficient dual-output rectification or active OR-ing in redundant power systems with single thermal path. |

FAQ
Is SBG2040CT RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, SBG2040CT features a lead-free finish and is RoHS compliant per EU Directive Annex Note 7, with glass and high-temperature solder exemptions applied. Terminal plating is pure tin, verified solderable per MIL-STD-202 Method 208, and compatible with standard reflow profiles including Pb-free JEDEC J-STD-020C Level 1 moisture sensitivity handling.
What is the maximum continuous operating temperature for SBG2040CT?
The SBG2040CT has a specified operating junction temperature range of –65°C to +150°C. Its average rectified current rating of 20 A is guaranteed at TC = 105°C; operation above this case temperature requires derating per Figure 1 in the datasheet, with thermal shutdown advised beyond 150°C junction temperature.
Can SBG2040CT replace SBG2035CT or SBG2045CT in existing designs?
SBG2040CT is pin- and package-compatible with SBG2035CT and SBG2045CT, but substitution requires verification of system-level voltage margin: SBG2040CT's 40 V VRRM sits between the 35 V and 45 V ratings. In 24 V systems with <15 V transients, it is functionally interchangeable; in 36 V nominal systems, SBG2045CT is preferred for safety margin.
Does SBG2040CT require a heatsink in 20 A operation?
At 20 A average current and TA = 25°C, a heatsink is mandatory to maintain TJ ≤ 150°C due to 5.5 W conduction loss per element. With RθJC = 2.0 °C/W and typical RθCA ≈ 15–25 °C/W for 2-layer PCB copper pours, a minimum 15 cm² external heatsink is recommended to limit case temperature to ≤105°C per datasheet rating.
