Product details
Overview
SBR40U100CT from Diodes Incorporated is a 40A, 100V ultra-low VF super barrier rectifier in TO-220AB package, featuring patented SBR® technology, soft fast switching, and 150°C junction operation. It delivers 0.67V typical forward voltage at 20A/25°C and 0.64V at 20A/125°C, enabling high-efficiency AC/DC secondary-side rectification in server power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SBR40U100CT datasheet, SBR40U100CT pinout, SBR40U100CT application, or SBR40U100CT equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at elevated temperature, surge current rating (235A), thermal resistance (2°C/W per leg), and RoHS-compliant matte tin terminals on copper leadframe.
Technical Context
This dual-common-cathode super barrier rectifier integrates two independent 40A/100V diode elements in a single TO-220AB thermally optimized package. Its patented SBR structure replaces conventional PN junctions with low-barrier Schottky-like conduction while maintaining high reverse blocking and soft recovery characteristics.
Designed for high-frequency switching power supplies, it operates reliably up to 150°C junction temperature with 2°C/W thermal resistance per leg and supports 2000V isolation between terminals and heatsink-critical for isolated DC-DC converters requiring reinforced insulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM / VRWM | 100 V - Maximum reverse blocking voltage before breakdown; defines safe operating range in 48V–54V output rails. |
| IO @ TC=150°C | 40 A - Continuous average forward current per element at case temperature of 150°C; enables compact heatsink design. |
| VF @ 20A, 25°C | 0.67 V - Typical forward voltage drop per leg; reduces conduction loss by ~30% vs. standard Schottky diodes. |
| VF @ 20A, 125°C | 0.64 V - Lower VF at high temperature confirms stable performance under thermal stress in dense power modules. |
| IFSM (8.3ms) | 235 A - Non-repetitive surge current capability; withstands inrush during cold-start in telecom rectifiers. |
| RθJC (per leg) | 2 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to case; allows direct mounting to heatsink without thermal interface degradation. |
| IR @ 100V, 125°C | 40 mA - Max leakage current at full rated voltage and max junction temperature; ensures low standby loss in offline SMPS. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220AB - 3-terminal molded plastic case (UL 94V-0), with center tab electrically connected to cathode, outer pins as anodes (dual-anode, common-cathode configuration). Matte tin-plated copper leadframe ensures MIL-STD-202 solderability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Left) | Anode 1 | Input terminal for first rectifying element; connects to transformer secondary winding or input rail. |
| Pin 2 (Center Tab) | Common Cathode | Electrically tied to heatsink-mounting surface; serves as shared output node for both diodes. |
| Pin 3 (Right) | Anode 2 | Input terminal for second rectifying element; enables dual-phase or interleaved rectification topologies. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar super barrier rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-40CPH01-M3 | 40A/100V, VF = 0.72V @ 20A/25°C, RθJC = 2.5°C/W, TO-247AC package | Larger footprint, higher thermal resistance, no common-cathode pinout | Select when higher surge margin (300A IFSM) is required and board space permits TO-247 layout. |
| ON Semiconductor MUR460G | 4A/600V ultrafast recovery diode, VF = 1.7V @ 4A/25°C, TO-220AC | Higher VF, lower current rating, faster recovery but no SBR low-loss benefit | Select only for high-voltage (>400V) flyback snubbers where low VF is secondary to reverse recovery speed. |
Compared with VS-40CPH01-M3 and MUR460G, the SBR40U100CT uniquely combines dual-anode common-cathode topology, sub-0.65V VF at 125°C, and 2°C/W thermal resistance-making it optimal for high-current, thermally constrained 100V-output rectification where efficiency and thermal density are primary constraints.

FAQ
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case per diode element?
The SBR40U100CT has a specified thermal resistance of 2°C/W per leg (RθJC), measured from each diode's junction to the common cathode tab. This value is confirmed in the Thermal Characteristics table of DS31204 Rev. 6–2 and applies under standard mounting conditions with flat, clean heatsink contact surface.
Is the center tab electrically isolated from the anode pins?
No-the center tab is the common cathode and is electrically connected to both diode cathodes. It is not isolated from the internal semiconductor structure and must be treated as a live terminal. Isolation testing (2000VAC) is defined between this tab and external heatsink mounting surface-not between pins.
Can SBR40U100CT replace standard Schottky diodes in existing designs?
Yes, with verification of layout compatibility: its TO-220AB pinout matches standard dual-diode packages, and its lower VF (0.64V vs. typical 0.75–0.85V) reduces conduction loss. However, designers must confirm that the lower reverse leakage (≤40mA at 125°C) does not affect feedback loop stability in voltage-mode controllers.
Does the "U" in SBR40U100CT indicate ultrafast recovery?
No-the "U" denotes the SBR® Super Barrier Rectifier family, not ultrafast recovery. The device uses a patented barrier structure-not a PN junction-so it exhibits soft, low-Qrr switching behavior distinct from ultrafast or fast recovery diodes. Recovery characteristics are inherent to the SBR architecture, not a separate speed grade.
