Product details
Overview
SDT20120GCTFP from Diodes Incorporated is a 20A dual-leg Trench Schottky rectifier in ITO220AB (Type WX) package, rated at 120V VRRM, 0.83V max forward voltage at 10A/25°C, and 30µA max reverse leakage at 120V/25°C. It serves as a high-efficiency freewheel or output rectifier in automotive-grade DC-DC converters and AC-DC adapters operating up to +150°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the SDT20120GCTFP datasheet, SDT20120GCTFP pinout, SDT20120GCTFP application, or SDT20120GCTFP equivalent, key selection criteria include its low VF stability across temperature, soft-switching behavior for EMI reduction, thermal resistance of 4°C/W (junction-to-case), and AEC-Q101 readiness via IATF 16949 manufacturing.
Technical Context
This dual-common-cathode Schottky rectifier integrates two independent 10A legs sharing one cathode terminal, enabling synchronous rectification or dual-output configurations. Its trench MOS structure delivers lower forward voltage than planar Schottkys while maintaining tight IR control up to +125°C.
Designed for high-frequency switching power supplies, it exhibits soft reverse recovery with minimal stored charge (Qrr not specified but implied by "soft, fast switching" claim), and junction capacitance of ~1000pF at 0V reverse bias (per Figure 4). Thermal derating follows linear IO vs. TC curves-10A at 25°C case drops to ~5A at 100°C case (Figure 5).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 120V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage per leg; supports 48V–60V bus systems with margin. |
| IO (per leg) | 10A - Continuous average forward current per diode leg at 25°C case; total device rating is 20A. |
| VF max | 0.83V @ 10A, 25°C - Low conduction loss enables >95% efficiency in 12V–24V output DC-DC stages. |
| IR max | 30µA @ 120V, 25°C - Ultra-low leakage preserves standby power in always-on automotive modules. |
| RθJC | 4°C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance for ITO220AB package; requires heatsink for >5A continuous operation. |
| TJ range | −55°C to +150°C - Full automotive temperature capability without derating penalty below +125°C. |
| Package | ITO220AB (Type WX) - Isolated tab variant with 1.65g mass, matte tin terminals, UL 94V-0 molding. |
Pinout & Package
ITO220AB (Type WX) is an isolated-tab variant of TO220 with three leads: Pin 1 (Anode 1), Pin 2 (Cathode, common to both legs), Pin 3 (Anode 2). The metal tab is electrically isolated from all terminals and serves solely as a thermal path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode of Leg 1 | Connects to input/high-side node of first rectification path; must be routed with low-inductance trace. |
| Pin 2 | Common Cathode | Shared output node for both legs; ties to ground or return rail; critical for thermal and EMI layout. |
| Pin 3 | Anode of Leg 2 | Connects to second input path (e.g., interleaved phase); enables dual-output or redundancy schemes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage drop | 0.83V max at 10A/25°C reduces conduction loss by ≥15% vs. standard Schottkys in 12V buck outputs. |
| High-temperature leakage stability | IR = 17µA @ 120V/125°C ensures <1mW standby dissipation in automotive infotainment power rails. |
| Soft, fast switching | No hard reverse recovery edge minimizes EMI generation during turn-off in 300–500kHz SMPS designs. |
| AEC-Q101 readiness | Manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities with PPAP support-enables direct use in qualified automotive modules. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-20CPH12-M3 | Same 120V/20A rating, but TO247AC package (RθJC = 1.6°C/W); VF = 0.82V @ 10A/25°C. | Higher thermal performance but larger footprint; requires different heatsink interface. | Select when junction temperature must stay <110°C under 15A continuous load without forced air. |
| ON Semiconductor MBR20120CT | TO220AB package (non-isolated tab); VF = 0.87V @ 10A/25°C; IR = 50µA @ 120V/25°C. | Lower cost but higher leakage and no isolation-unsuitable for floating-ground or safety-isolated designs. | Acceptable for non-automotive industrial adapters where tab grounding is permitted and leakage <50µA is tolerable. |
Compared with VS-20CPH12-M3 and MBR20120CT, SDT20120GCTFP offers optimal balance of isolation, thermal resistance (4°C/W), and leakage control (30µA) for space-constrained automotive modules requiring AEC-Q101 alignment and IATF 16949 traceability.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature and how does it affect derating?
The SDT20120GCTFP has a rated junction temperature range of −55°C to +150°C. Derating begins at +25°C case temperature: average forward current drops linearly from 10A/leg at 25°C to approximately 5A/leg at 100°C case (per Figure 5). At 150°C case, the device supports only pulsed operation with strict duty-cycle limits.
Is the ITO220AB package electrically isolated, and what is its creepage/clearance performance?
Yes-the ITO220AB (Type WX) package features an electrically isolated metal tab rated for 2500VRMS isolation between tab and leads (per Diodes' package definition). Creepage and clearance meet UL 94V-0 requirements, supporting reinforced insulation in SELV circuits up to 600VDC working voltage.
Does SDT20120GCTFP meet AEC-Q101, and what documentation supports this?
SDT20120GCTFP is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and supports PPAP; however, Diodes explicitly states that AEC-Q101 qualification requires customer-specific change control and testing. No AEC-Q101 test report is published for this part-design-in for automotive applications requires direct engagement with Diodes' automotive team.
How does the soft-switching characteristic reduce EMI in high-frequency converters?
Soft switching arises from the absence of minority-carrier storage and abrupt reverse recovery. This eliminates high-frequency ringing during turn-off, reducing peak dv/dt by >30% compared to fast-recovery diodes-directly lowering conducted EMI in the 30–100MHz band and easing compliance with CISPR 25 Class 5 limits in automotive systems.
