Product details
Overview
SBR40U100CT-G 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 0.60V at 20A/125°C, enabling high-efficiency AC/DC front-end and DC-DC secondary-side rectification in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SBR40U100CT-G datasheet, SBR40U100CT-G pinout, SBR40U100CT-G application, or SBR40U100CT-G 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 green molding compound availability.
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 achieves lower VF than Schottky diodes while maintaining superior high-temperature leakage performance - IR ≤ 0.5mA at 100V/25°C and ≤ 40mA at 100V/125°C.
The device supports high-reliability operation up to TJ = 150°C with RθJC = 2°C/W per leg, enabling compact heatsink designs. Its soft recovery minimizes EMI in high-frequency switching converters, and isolation voltage of 2000VAC (terminal-to-heatsink) meets reinforced insulation requirements for offline power systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM / VRWM | 100 V - Maximum reverse blocking voltage per diode leg; defines safe operating range in 100V-rated DC bus or 70V RMS AC applications. |
| IO @ TC = 150°C | 40 A - Continuous average forward current per leg at case temperature 150°C; enables high-power secondary-side rectification without forced air. |
| VF @ 20A, 25°C | 0.67 V typ - Low conduction loss improves efficiency in 12–48V output DC-DC converters; reduces heat sink size by ~30% vs. standard FRD. |
| IFSM (8.3ms) | 235 A - Non-repetitive surge capability handles inrush and short-circuit transients in server PSUs and telecom rectifiers. |
| RθJC (per leg) | 2 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to case; allows direct mounting to heatsink for thermal management in space-constrained 1U power supplies. |
| IR @ 100V, 125°C | 40 mA max - Controlled high-temp leakage ensures stable no-load regulation and low standby power in energy-efficient adapters. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220AB - 3-terminal molded plastic case with isolated tab (heatsink-compatible), UL 94V-0 rated, matte tin-plated copper leadframe, 1.85g weight.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Anode 1) | Anode of first diode element | Connects to input/switching node in dual-output or interleaved converter topologies. |
| Pin 2 (Cathode Common) | Shared cathode terminal | Provides common return path for both diodes; electrically tied to metal tab for thermal and electrical grounding. |
| Pin 3 (Anode 2) | Anode of second diode element | Enables independent control or parallel operation; used in center-tapped transformer full-wave rectification. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low VF at high temperature | 0.60V @ 20A/125°C - Maintains efficiency under thermal stress, reducing derating in enclosed enclosures. |
| Soft, fast switching | Low reverse recovery charge (Qrr) and minimal voltage overshoot - lowers EMI filter cost and simplifies layout in >100kHz SMPS. |
| 150°C junction rating | Extended thermal margin beyond standard 125°C diodes - supports higher ambient operation in industrial motor drives and LED drivers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-current super barrier rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SBRT40U100CT-G | Same die, enhanced thermal pad adhesion and tighter VF distribution (±0.02V); RθJC = 1.9°C/W. | Better suited for high-volume automated assembly with reflow profile constraints. | Select when requiring improved process yield in SMT-reflowed heatsink assemblies. |
| MBR40100CTG | Standard Schottky; VF = 0.75V @ 20A/25°C; IR = 10mA @ 100V/125°C; no soft recovery. | Higher conduction loss and EMI sensitivity limit use in high-density, fanless designs. | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs thermal/EMI performance in non-critical consumer adapters. |
Compared with SBRT40U100CT-G, the SBR40U100CT-G offers identical core performance but slightly relaxed thermal specs; versus MBR40100CTG, it delivers 12% lower conduction loss and 95% lower high-temp leakage - critical for thermally constrained industrial and automotive auxiliary supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The SBR40U100CT-G is rated for continuous operation at TC = 150°C per leg, verified by its 40A IO rating under that condition. Derating begins above this point per Figure 3 in DS31204; at TC = 130°C, IO remains ≥ 48A. Exceeding 150°C risks accelerated degradation of the SBR junction and molding compound.
Is the metal tab electrically isolated from the terminals?
Yes - the TO-220AB package provides 2000VAC isolation between the metal tab (heatsink interface) and all three terminals (Pins 1, 2, 3), tested for 3 seconds. This enables direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without insulating hardware in Class I safety designs.
Can Pin 2 (cathode common) be used as a thermal and electrical ground reference?
Yes - Pin 2 is internally bonded to the metal tab and serves as both the common cathode node and primary thermal path. In PCB layout, it must be connected to a large copper pour or heatsink; floating this pin violates thermal and electrical specifications and risks thermal runaway.
Does the "-G" suffix indicate full halogen-free compliance?
Yes - the "-G" suffix denotes Diodes' Green Molding Compound version, certified halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21 (Br, Cl < 900 ppm; total halogens < 1500 ppm) and compliant with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) for unlimited floor life.
