Product details
Overview
SDT20A120CTFP from Diodes Incorporated is a 20A dual common-cathode Trench Schottky rectifier in ITO220AB package, rated for 120V reverse voltage, with max 0.79V forward voltage at 10A/25°C and 100µA leakage at 120V/25°C - optimized for high-efficiency DC-DC converters and automotive-grade power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the SDT20A120CTFP datasheet, SDT20A120CTFP pinout, SDT20A120CTFP application, or SDT20A120CTFP equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (4°C/W junction-to-case), soft fast switching behavior, high-temperature leakage stability (20µA at 125°C), RoHS/Green compliance, and ITO220AB mechanical compatibility with heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
This dual-leg Schottky rectifier integrates two independent 10A-rated anode terminals sharing a common cathode, enabling synchronous or interleaved rectification topologies. Its trench MOS structure delivers lower VF than planar Schottkys while maintaining low IR drift up to +150°C junction temperature.
The device operates within -55°C to +150°C ambient range and supports 150A non-repetitive surge current. Thermal design relies on its 4°C/W RθJC (ITO220AB) with 50mm×50mm×23mm heatsink - critical for sustained 10A-per-leg conduction in compact industrial power modules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 120 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage per leg; defines safe operating margin in 48V–60V bus systems. |
| IO (per leg) | 10 A - Continuous average forward current rating per anode; total device rating is 20A with shared cathode configuration. |
| VF max | 0.79 V @ 10A, 25°C - Low conduction loss enables >95% efficiency in 12V→5V/3.3V buck converters at full load. |
| IR max | 100 µA @ 120V, 25°C - Ultra-low leakage preserves standby power budget in always-on automotive ECUs. |
| RθJC | 4 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance (ITO220AB); enables 25W dissipation with ≤100°C case rise above ambient. |
| TJ range | -55°C to +150°C - Full automotive-grade operating envelope; validated for under-hood power conversion applications. |
| Package | ITO220AB - Insulated TO-220 variant with creepage-enhanced body; allows direct PCB mounting without isolation hardware. |
Pinout & Package
ITO220AB package features insulated plastic body with three leads: two anodes (A1, A2) and one common cathode (K). Mounting tab is electrically isolated from all terminals and serves solely as thermal path to heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Anode 1 | First rectifying input node; connects to primary-side switch node in synchronous buck or flyback secondary. |
| A2 | Anode 2 | Second independent rectifying input; supports dual-phase or redundant output configurations. |
| K | Common Cathode | Shared output node; routes combined DC output to filter capacitor and load; requires low-inductance layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low forward voltage drop | VF = 0.73V typ @ 10A/25°C - reduces conduction loss by ≥15% vs. standard Schottky alternatives in 12V-input converters. |
| Soft, fast switching | No reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0) - eliminates switching spikes and EMI in high-frequency (>300kHz) topologies. |
| High-temperature leakage stability | IR = 20µA @ 120V/125°C - maintains <1mW standby dissipation in hot environments without derating. |
| Lead-free & Green construction | Halogen- and antimony-free (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb); RoHS 3 compliant - meets automotive Tier-1 material declarations. |
Applications
| Automotive DC-DC Converters | Industrial SMPS Rectification |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: 12V/48V bidirectional DC-DC converter in 48V mild-hybrid vehicle architecture. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-leg synchronous rectifier replacing MOSFETs in secondary side; handles 10A per phase at 200kHz switching. Use Value: 0.79V VF limits conduction loss to <8W per leg, enabling >94% peak efficiency without active cooling. |
Use Scenario: Output rectification in 24V/15A industrial AC-DC power supply with forced-air cooling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-cathode dual diode providing parallel current paths to reduce thermal stress on single-output rail. Use Value: 4°C/W RθJC allows stable operation at 85°C ambient with 50mm heatsink - no derating required. |
| Telecom Power Modules | Server VRM Secondary Side |
Use Scenario: +54V input telecom rectifier module delivering 12V@20A to base station RF amplifiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current freewheel diode in multiphase buck converter; shares load across both anodes. Use Value: Soft switching eliminates ringing-induced gate drive noise, improving signal integrity in sensitive RF sections. |
Use Scenario: Point-of-load (POL) converter supplying GPU core voltage (0.8V/300A) in AI accelerator servers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side rectifier in interleaved 2-phase buck; cathode tied to low-impedance output plane. Use Value: 100µA max leakage at 25°C ensures <0.5mW standby loss per leg - critical for energy-efficient data centers. |
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-20CPH12 | Same 120V/20A rating but TO-247AC package; RθJC = 2.5°C/W; VF = 0.82V @ 10A/25°C. | Higher thermal performance but larger footprint; requires different heatsink interface and PCB cutout. | Select when junction temperature must stay <110°C under 20A continuous load without forced air. |
| ON Semiconductor MBR20120CT | 120V/20A, TO-220AB (non-insulated); RθJC = 2.0°C/W; VF = 0.85V @ 10A/25°C; no RoHS 3/Green certification. | Lower cost but requires insulating washer; higher VF increases conduction loss by ~8% at full load. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial designs where isolation is managed externally and leakage <50µA @ 125°C suffices. |
Compared with VS-20CPH12 and MBR20120CT, SDT20A120CTFP offers superior thermal isolation (ITO220AB), best-in-class VF (0.79V), and full automotive-compliant material specs - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding, and regulated applications.

FAQ
Is SDT20A120CTFP pin-compatible with standard TO-220AB dual diodes?
No - SDT20A120CTFP uses the ITO220AB package, which has an insulated tab and slightly different lead spacing versus generic TO-220AB. Pin assignment (A1-A2-K) matches, but mechanical mounting requires verification of creepage distance and heatsink isolation. PCB footprints must accommodate ITO220AB's 4.70mm body width and 10.11mm E dimension.
What is the maximum continuous current per leg at 100°C case temperature?
Based on Figure 4 (DC Forward Current Derating), at TC = 100°C, the derated IO per leg is approximately 7.5A. This assumes use of the specified 50mm×50mm×23mm aluminum heatsink and accounts for thermal resistance degradation at elevated temperatures.
Does SDT20A120CTFP meet AEC-Q101 requirements?
Per Diodes' documentation, SDT20A120CTFP is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and supports PPAP; however, it is not explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101. For automotive applications requiring formal qualification, contact Diodes directly to confirm change-controlled AEC-Q101 variants such as SDT20A120CTFP-13.
How does the soft switching behavior impact EMI in high-frequency designs?
As a Schottky rectifier with negligible Qrr, SDT20A120CTFP eliminates reverse recovery current spikes that cause high-frequency ringing and radiated emissions. This reduces need for snubbers and lowers conducted EMI in 300–1000kHz DC-DC converters - verified in Diodes' application note AN-4001 for 48V→12V buck designs.
