Product details
Overview
SBG3040CT from Diodes Incorporated is a 40V, 30A surface-mount Schottky barrier rectifier in TO263 package, featuring 0.55V forward voltage at 15A and 250A non-repetitive surge capability; used for polarity protection and free-wheeling in low-voltage DC-DC converters and motor drive circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SBG3040CT datasheet, SBG3040CT pinout, SBG3040CT application, or SBG3040CT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40V reverse voltage rating, 30A average output current at TC=100°C, low thermal resistance (1.5°C/W), and suitability for high-frequency switching power supplies requiring minimal conduction loss.
Technical Context
This dual-element Schottky rectifier integrates two independent anode-cathode junctions in a single TO263 thermally enhanced package, with common cathode configuration confirmed by polarity diagram and pin labeling (Pin 1 & Pin 3 = Anode, Pin 2 & Pin 4 = Cathode). Its guard ring die construction provides transient overvoltage protection without external components.
Designed for operation up to +125°C junction temperature, it delivers stable performance under repetitive 60Hz half-wave rectification and handles capacitive-load derated conditions per specification. Total capacitance of 420pF at 1MHz/4V enables predictable high-frequency behavior in snubberless flyback and synchronous rectifier topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 40 V - Maximum peak repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown; sets safe operating limit in 24–36V input systems. |
| IO @ TC=100°C | 30 A - Continuous average forward current when case temperature is held at 100°C; defines heatsink sizing requirement. |
| VFM @ IF=15A | 0.55 V - Forward voltage drop per element at 15A; directly determines conduction loss (8.25W total for both elements). |
| IFSM | 250 A - Non-repetitive surge current for 8.3ms half-sine; supports motor startup and inrush current handling. |
| RθJC | 1.5 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables direct mounting to heatsink for efficient thermal management. |
| IRM @ TJ=100°C | 75 mA - Peak reverse leakage at max operating temperature; impacts standby power in always-on applications. |
| CT @ 1MHz | 420 pF - Total capacitance per element; affects switching speed and EMI in >100kHz SMPS designs. |
Pinout & Package
TO263 (D2PAK) thermally optimized surface-mount package with exposed metal tab for heatsinking; molded plastic case rated UL 94V-0, moisture sensitivity level 1, tin-plated terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode 1 | Input terminal for first Schottky diode element; connects to switched node in half-bridge or freewheel path. |
| Pin 2 & Pin 4 | Common Cathode | Shared cathode connection for both diode elements; ties to system ground or output rail for dual-path rectification. |
| Pin 3 | Anode 2 | Input terminal for second Schottky diode element; enables dual independent or parallel rectifier configurations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Guard ring die construction | Provides intrinsic transient voltage suppression without external TVS, reducing BOM count in industrial power supplies. |
| Low forward voltage drop | 0.55V at 15A minimizes conduction loss-critical for efficiency in 12V/24V automotive and telecom DC-DC stages. |
| High surge capability | 250A IFSM withstands repeated motor commutation spikes and inductive load turn-off transients. |
| Thermally enhanced TO263 | 1.5°C/W RθJC allows direct PCB copper pour heatsinking, eliminating need for discrete thermal interface materials. |
| Low total capacitance | 420pF enables clean turn-off in >200kHz flyback converters, reducing ringing and EMI filter burden. |

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of SBG3040CT?
SBG3040CT uses a 4-pin TO263 package with Pin 1 and Pin 3 as independent anodes, and Pins 2 & 4 tied internally to a common cathode. This dual-anode/common-cathode arrangement supports parallel or independent rectifier paths. The exposed metal tab is electrically connected to the cathode and serves as the primary thermal path.
Is SBG3040CT suitable for synchronous rectification?
No-SBG3040CT is a passive Schottky rectifier, not a synchronous rectifier IC or MOSFET-based solution. It lacks gate drive circuitry or control logic. However, its low VFM and fast recovery make it a preferred choice for asynchronous rectification in medium-frequency SMPS where simplicity and reliability outweigh marginal efficiency gains from synchronous designs.
Why is SBG3040CT marked "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGN"?
Diodes Incorporated issued this designation due to planned obsolescence and limited long-term supply assurance. While fully functional and supported for existing production, no second-source or direct replacement has been designated. Customers designing new products should consult Diodes' latest portfolio for alternatives like the SBMG3040CT or APx3040 series with extended lifecycle commitments.
Can SBG3040CT be paralleled for higher current handling?
Yes-its matched dual-diode structure and low thermal resistance allow safe parallel operation of both elements within the same package. When externally paralleling multiple SBG3040CT units, ensure symmetrical PCB layout, equal trace lengths, and shared heatsinking to avoid current imbalance; derate total current by 15% for reliability beyond 30A combined.
