Product details
Overview
SDT20100CT from Diodes Incorporated is a 20A dual common-cathode Trench Schottky rectifier in TO220AB package, rated for 100V peak reverse voltage, with max 0.71V forward voltage at 10A/25°C and 80µA reverse leakage at 100V/25°C; used as output rectifier in high-efficiency DC-DC converters and AC-DC adapters.
For engineers reviewing the SDT20100CT datasheet, SDT20100CT pinout, SDT20100CT application, or SDT20100CT equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal resistance (2°C/W junction-to-case), dual-leg configuration, automotive-grade packaging options (ITO220AB), and real-world switching behavior for power supply design validation.
Technical Context
This dual-diode Schottky rectifier integrates two independent 10A legs sharing a common cathode terminal, enabling synchronous rectification or dual-output configurations. Its trench MOS structure achieves low VF and stable IR up to +150°C junction temperature.
Designed for high-frequency switching topologies, it exhibits soft recovery with negligible reverse recovery charge (Qrr not specified but implied by "soft, fast switching capability"), and operates within -55°C to +150°C ambient range with derated current above +100°C case temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage per leg; defines safe operating limit in flyback or buck converter freewheel paths. |
| IO (per leg) | 10 A - Continuous average forward current per diode leg at TA=25°C; total device rating is 20A with shared cathode. |
| VF max | 0.71 V @ 10A, 25°C - Directly impacts conduction loss; enables <0.71W dissipation per leg at 10A, critical for thermal management. |
| IR max | 80 µA @ 100V, 25°C - Low leakage preserves efficiency in standby mode and high-temperature operation. |
| RθJC | 2 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance (TO220AB); allows precise heatsink sizing for 10A continuous operation. |
| TJ range | -55°C to +150°C - Full industrial and automotive-grade junction temperature support without parameter degradation. |
| IFSM | 150 A - Non-repetitive surge rating (8.3ms half-sine); withstands inrush currents in AC-DC front-end designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO220AB (Generic) - 3-lead molded plastic package with isolated tab, UL 94V-0 rated, matte tin-plated copper leadframe, 1.85g weight. Mounting tab is cathode-connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Anode 1) | Anode of first Schottky diode leg | Connects to transformer secondary or switch node in dual-output DC-DC; electrically isolated from Pin 2. |
| Pin 2 (Cathode) | Common cathode for both diode legs | Shared output node; must be thermally and electrically connected to heatsink; carries full 20A combined current. |
| Pin 3 (Anode 2) | Anode of second Schottky diode leg | Enables independent input path for second output rail or phase interleaving in multiphase designs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage drop | 0.71V max @ 10A/25°C reduces conduction loss by ~30% vs. standard silicon rectifiers in 12V output rails. |
| Soft, fast switching capability | No reverse recovery tail current minimizes EMI and eliminates snubber requirements in >100kHz SMPS designs. |
| High-temperature leakage stability | 20µA IR max @ 100V/125°C ensures reliable hold-up time in automotive under-hood environments. |
| Lead-free & halogen-free construction | RoHS 3 compliant (2015/863/EU) and "Green" certified (<900ppm Br+Cl, <1000ppm Sb) for eco-sensitive industrial programs. |
Applications
| Server VRM Output Rectification | Automotive DC-DC Converter |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual common-cathode Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-20CTH02-M3/45 | Same 100V VRRM, 10A/leg, but VF = 0.75V @ 10A/25°C; RθJC = 2.5°C/W; TO220AC package (non-isolated tab). | Non-isolated tab requires insulating washer for heatsink mounting; higher VF increases conduction loss by ~56mW per leg. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal performance and isolation requirements. |
| ON Semiconductor MBR20100CT | Identical pinout and ratings (100V, 10A/leg), but VF = 0.78V @ 10A/25°C; IR = 100µA @ 100V/25°C; RoHS-compliant but not "Green" certified. | Slightly higher leakage limits use in high-temp industrial systems where long-term reliability is prioritized over eco-certification. | Choose when legacy design compatibility and broad distributor availability are primary concerns. |
Compared with VS-20CTH02-M3/45 and MBR20100CT, SDT20100CT offers the lowest VF (0.71V), tightest IR spec (80µA), and certified "Green" material compliance-making it optimal for thermally constrained, automotive-qualified, and sustainability-driven power designs.

FAQ
What is the thermal resistance (RθJC) of SDT20100CT in TO220AB package?
The SDT20100CT in TO220AB package has a typical junction-to-case thermal resistance of 2°C/W, measured with a 50mm × 50mm × 23mm aluminum heatsink. This value enables accurate thermal modeling for 10A-per-leg operation without exceeding 150°C junction temperature under defined cooling conditions.
Is SDT20100CT qualified for automotive applications?
SDT20100CT is manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities and supports PPAP documentation. While not pre-qualified to AEC-Q101 out-of-box, Diodes offers automotive-grade variants (e.g., SDT20100CTFP in ITO220AB) with full AEC-Q101 qualification upon request and change control.
How does the common-cathode configuration affect PCB layout?
The common-cathode (Pin 2) configuration simplifies output filtering by allowing a single low-inductance cathode trace to both output capacitors. However, it requires careful thermal via placement under the tab to avoid current crowding, as all 20A flows through one shared metal path to the heatsink.
What is the maximum operating frequency for SDT20100CT in switching applications?
SDT20100CT supports operation up to 1MHz due to its trench Schottky architecture and soft switching behavior. Performance remains stable beyond 500kHz, with no reverse recovery charge (Qrr) specified-enabling efficient use in advanced GaN-based 650kHz–1MHz DC-DC converters without snubber networks.
