Product details
Overview
SDT20A100CT from Diodes Incorporated is a 20A dual-leg trench Schottky rectifier in TO220AB package, rated for 100V reverse voltage per leg, with max 0.67V forward voltage at 10A/25°C and 100µA leakage at 100V/25°C. It serves as a high-efficiency freewheel or output rectifier in DC-DC converters and AC-DC adapters operating up to +150°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the SDT20A100CT datasheet, SDT20A100CT pinout, SDT20A100CT application, or SDT20A100CT equivalent, key selection criteria include its low VF stability across temperature, soft switching behavior, ITO220AB-compatible thermal resistance (4°C/W), and AEC-Q101 readiness for automotive power stages.
Technical Context
This dual common-cathode Schottky diode integrates two independent 10A legs sharing one cathode terminal, enabling synchronous rectification or dual-output DC-DC topologies. Its trench MOS structure delivers lower VF than planar Schottkys while maintaining tight IR control up to +125°C - 20µA at 100V/125°C.
The device operates within -55°C to +150°C junction range and supports non-repetitive 200A surge current (8.3ms half-sine). Thermal design leverages RθJC = 2°C/W (TO220AB) or 4°C/W (ITO220AB) with standard heatsink mounting, enabling compact 20A total conduction in space-constrained industrial and automotive power supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage per leg without breakdown |
| IO (per leg) | 10 A - Continuous average forward current rating per anode leg at TA=25°C |
| VF @ 10A/25°C | 0.67 V - Forward voltage drop determining conduction loss in high-current paths |
| IR @ 100V/25°C | 100 µA - Reverse leakage defining standby power loss and thermal runaway risk |
| RθJC | 2 °C/W (TO220AB) - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enabling direct heatsink attachment |
| IFSM | 200 A - Peak surge current handling capability during startup or fault transients |
| TJ Range | -55 to +150 °C - Operating junction temperature range supporting under-hood automotive use |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO220AB (Generic), 3-terminal through-hole plastic case with isolated tab (cathode-connected metal tab), UL 94V-0 rated, matte tin-plated copper leadframe.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode 1 (Lead 1) | Input terminal for first diode leg | Carries up to 10A continuous forward current; electrically isolated from tab and Anode 2 |
| Anode 2 (Lead 2) | Input terminal for second diode leg | Independent 10A path; enables dual-output or phase-split rectification |
| Cathode (Tab & Lead 3) | Common output node | Internally connected to metal tab; must be electrically tied to system ground or output rail; provides primary thermal path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trench Schottky architecture | Reduces VF by ~0.1V vs. planar Schottky at 10A, cutting conduction loss by >15% in 12V–48V DC-DC outputs |
| Soft, fast switching | Minimizes EMI generation during turn-off; eliminates need for snubbers in 300kHz–1MHz buck converters |
| High-temperature IR stability | Leakage remains ≤20µA at 100V/125°C - critical for maintaining efficiency in sealed enclosures |
| RoHS & Halogen-free | Meets EU RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and Diodes' "Green" definition (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb) |
Applications
| Server VRM Output Rectification | Automotive DC-DC Converter |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay V20100C-E3/45 | Same 100V/10A per leg, but planar Schottky; VF = 0.72V @ 10A/25°C; RθJC = 3°C/W | Higher conduction loss (+0.05V) and less stable IR above 100°C limits use in sealed automotive enclosures | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal performance; verify heatsink adequacy at 125°C ambient |
| ON Semiconductor MBR20100CT | Identical TO220AB pinout and 100V rating, but VF = 0.82V @ 10A/25°C; IR = 500µA @ 100V/25°C | Higher leakage increases standby loss in always-on systems; unsuitable for >85°C ambient without derating | Acceptable for industrial adapters with forced-air cooling; avoid in thermally constrained automotive modules |
Compared with V20100C-E3/45 and MBR20100CT, SDT20A100CT offers the lowest VF and best high-temperature IR stability - making it optimal for thermally aggressive, high-efficiency DC-DC designs where junction temperature exceeds 100°C.

FAQ
Is SDT20A100CT qualified to AEC-Q101?
Yes - SDT20A100CT is AEC-Q101 qualified and manufactured in IATF 16949 certified facilities. The datasheet explicitly states suitability for automotive applications requiring PPAP capability and specific change control. Qualification testing covers HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling per AEC-Q101 Rev D.
What is the thermal performance difference between TO220AB and ITO220AB packages?
TO220AB has RθJC = 2°C/W; ITO220AB (SDT20A100CTFP) has RθJC = 4°C/W due to thinner internal die attach and reduced copper mass. Both use the same mounting hole pattern, but ITO220AB's insulated tab eliminates need for insulating washers - simplifying assembly at the cost of 2°C/W higher thermal resistance.
Can SDT20A100CT replace a single 20A Schottky like MBR20100CT?
No - SDT20A100CT contains two independent 10A legs sharing a common cathode; it is not a single 20A device. Replacing MBR20100CT requires verifying circuit topology: if the original uses one anode input, SDT20A100CT's dual-anode structure is incompatible unless reconfigured as dual-phase or OR-ing diode.
Does the "CT" suffix indicate center-tap configuration?
No - "CT" here denotes common-cathode dual-diode configuration, not center-tapped transformer secondary. The device has three terminals: Anode 1, Anode 2, and shared Cathode (tab + lead 3). It is electrically identical to industry-standard "CT" dual Schottky rectifiers such as SB5100CT or MBR20100CT.
