Product details
Overview
SDT20120CTFP from Diodes Incorporated is a 20A dual common-cathode Trench Schottky rectifier in ITO-220AB package, rated for 120V peak reverse voltage, with max 0.88V forward voltage at 10A/25°C and 80µA reverse leakage at 120V/25°C; used as output rectifier in high-efficiency DC-DC converters and AC-DC adapters.
For engineers reviewing the SDT20120CTFP datasheet, SDT20120CTFP pinout, SDT20120CTFP application, or SDT20120CTFP equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (4°C/W junction-to-case), high-temperature leakage stability (20µA at 125°C), soft switching behavior, and ITO-220AB mounting compatibility with heatsink interfaces.
Technical Context
This dual-diode Schottky rectifier integrates two independent 10A legs sharing a common cathode terminal, enabling synchronous rectification or dual-output DC-DC topologies. Its trench-based epitaxial structure delivers lower VF and superior IR stability versus planar Schottkys across -55°C to +150°C operating range.
The device exhibits soft reverse recovery with no minority-carrier tail, eliminating snubber requirements in high-frequency switching circuits. Junction capacitance is 1000pF at 4V reverse bias (1MHz), supporting efficient operation up to several hundred kHz in isolated and non-isolated converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 120V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage per leg; defines safe operating limit in flyback or forward converter secondary side. |
| IO (per leg) | 10A - Average rectified current per diode leg at TC = 75°C; total device rating is 20A with shared cathode configuration. |
| VF max | 0.88V @ 10A, 25°C - Low conduction loss enables >95% efficiency in 12V–48V output DC-DC stages at full load. |
| IR max | 80µA @ 120V, 25°C - Ultra-low leakage preserves light-load efficiency and prevents thermal runaway in high-temp environments. |
| RθJC | 4°C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to case (ITO-220AB); enables 12W dissipation at ΔT = 48°C with standard heatsink. |
| TJ range | -55°C to +150°C - Full automotive-grade temperature capability without derating; qualified for under-hood applications. |
| CJ | 1000pF @ 4V - Low junction capacitance minimizes switching loss and EMI in high-frequency SMPS designs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: ITO-220AB - Insulated through-hole plastic power package with electrically isolated tab, matte tin-plated copper leadframe, UL 94V-0 rated molding compound, and 1.90g mass. Designed for mechanical mounting with insulating washer and thermal interface material.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Anode A) | Anode of first Schottky diode leg | Connects to transformer secondary or switch node; carries up to 10A continuous forward current. |
| Pin 2 (Cathode) | Common cathode for both diode legs | Shared output node; must be routed with low-inductance path to minimize voltage spikes during commutation. |
| Pin 3 (Anode B) | Anode of second Schottky diode leg | Enables dual-output or interleaved rectification; electrically isolated from Pin 1 except via common cathode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage drop | 0.65V typ @ 10A/125°C - Reduces conduction loss by ≥30% vs. silicon PN rectifiers in same package, improving thermal margin. |
| Soft, fast switching | No reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0) - Eliminates switching loss and EMI associated with minority-carrier storage, enabling clean turn-off. |
| High-temperature leakage stability | 20µA @ 120V/125°C - Maintains regulation integrity in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial power supplies. |
| Lead-free & Green construction | RoHS 3 compliant, halogen- and antimony-free (<900ppm Br+Cl, <1000ppm Sb) - Meets automotive and industrial environmental compliance mandates. |

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 V20120C-E3/45 | Same 120V/10A per leg, but TO-220AB package (RθJC = 2°C/W); higher VF (0.92V max @ 10A/25°C). | Requires larger heatsink area due to non-insulated tab; unsuitable where electrical isolation is mandatory. | Select when lowest thermal resistance is critical and isolation is handled externally. |
| ON Semiconductor MBR20120CT | Identical pinout and ratings, but uses planar Schottky process; higher IR (120µA @ 120V/25°C) and VF (0.95V max). | Reduced high-temperature reliability in sealed enclosures; may require derating above 100°C ambient. | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs thermal and leakage performance requirements. |
Compared with V20120C-E3/45 and MBR20120CT, SDT20120CTFP offers superior high-temperature leakage control and electrical isolation in a thermally optimized ITO-220AB package-critical for automotive and industrial systems where safety and long-term stability are prioritized over minimal cost.

FAQ
Is SDT20120CTFP suitable for automotive applications?
Yes-SDT20120CTFP is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and meets AEC-Q101 stress test requirements for discrete semiconductors. Its -55°C to +150°C operating range, low IR drift, and halogen-free "Green" construction align with automotive power system specifications, including on-board chargers and DC-DC converters.
What is the difference between SDT20120CT and SDT20120CTFP?
SDT20120CT uses TO-220AB (non-insulated tab), while SDT20120CTFP uses ITO-220AB (electrically insulated tab). Both share identical electrical specs, but the FP variant enables direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without insulation hardware-reducing assembly steps and thermal interface resistance by ~0.5°C/W.
Can SDT20120CTFP replace a single 20A Schottky in a center-tapped transformer design?
No-it is a dual 10A common-cathode device, not a single 20A diode. In center-tapped configurations, it replaces two discrete 10A Schottkys, with Anode A and Anode B connecting to opposite transformer ends and Cathode serving as the shared output. Using it as a single 20A path would exceed per-leg current rating and cause thermal failure.
Does SDT20120CTFP require a heatsink in typical operation?
Yes-under 10A per leg at 25°C ambient, junction temperature exceeds 150°C without heatsinking. With its 4°C/W RθJC, a minimum 25°C/W heatsink is required to maintain TJ ≤ 125°C at full load. Derating curves in Figure 4 confirm 10A maximum at TC = 75°C, necessitating thermal management in all production designs.
