Product details
Overview
SDT20B100CT from Diodes Incorporated is a 20A dual common-cathode Trench Schottky rectifier in TO220AB package, rated for 100V peak reverse voltage, 0.80V max forward voltage at 10A/25°C, and 100µA max reverse leakage at 100V/25°C; used as output rectifier in high-efficiency DC-DC converters and AC-DC adapters.
For engineers reviewing the SDT20B100CT datasheet, SDT20B100CT pinout, SDT20B100CT application, or SDT20B100CT equivalent, this page delivers verified thermal resistance (2°C/W junction-to-case), soft-switching behavior, automotive-grade packaging options (ITO220AB), and AEC-Q101 qualification context 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 delivers lower VF than planar Schottkys while maintaining stable IR up to +125°C.
Thermal performance is defined per leg: RθJC = 2°C/W (TO220AB) with 50mm × 50mm × 23mm heatsink; derating curve shows usable IO down to ~7A at TC = +100°C. Reverse recovery is inherently negligible due to majority-carrier conduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage per leg; defines safe operating range in 48V bus or 36V input DC-DC stages. |
| IO (per leg) | 10 A - Average rectified current per anode leg at TA = +25°C; total device rating is 20A with shared cathode. |
| VF max | 0.80 V @ 10A, +25°C - Low conduction loss enables >92% efficiency in 12V-output buck converters at full load. |
| IR max | 100 µA @ 100V, +25°C - Tight leakage spec ensures minimal standby power loss in always-on adapter designs. |
| RθJC | 2 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance (TO220AB); enables direct heatsink mounting without thermal interface material for <15W dissipation. |
| IFSM | 150 A - Non-repetitive surge rating supports inrush current handling during cold-start of industrial power supplies. |
| TJ range | –55°C to +150°C - Extended temperature capability supports under-hood automotive and outdoor-rated industrial 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-20BQ100PBF | Same 100V/20A rating, but VF = 0.79V @ 10A/25°C; RθJC = 2.5°C/W; TO220AC package (non-isolated tab). | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification; not recommended for automotive; higher thermal resistance limits power density. | Select when cost is primary constraint and automotive qualification is unnecessary; verify heatsink isolation compatibility. |
| ON Semiconductor MBR20100CT | VF = 0.85V @ 10A/25°C; IR = 200µA @ 100V/25°C; RθJC = 2.2°C/W; legacy planar Schottky process. | Higher conduction loss reduces efficiency by ~0.8% at full load; elevated leakage increases standby power. | Acceptable for non-automotive industrial use where margin exists; avoid in thermally constrained or low-standby designs. |
Compared with VS-20BQ100PBF and MBR20100CT, SDT20B100CT offers superior thermal resistance (2°C/W), lower leakage at high temperature, and AEC-Q101 support via FP variant-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability, or automotive-adjacent power conversion.

FAQ
What is the difference between SDT20B100CT and SDT20B100CTFP?
SDT20B100CT uses TO220AB (Generic) packaging with non-isolated tab and standard qualification; SDT20B100CTFP uses ITO220AB (isolated tab) and is manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities with PPAP support and AEC-Q101 stress testing-making it suitable for automotive applications requiring change control and traceability.
Can SDT20B100CT be used in place of a single 20A Schottky diode?
No-it is a dual 10A common-cathode device: each anode handles up to 10A average current, with combined conduction path through the shared cathode. Using only one anode yields 10A capacity; paralleling both anodes does not double current rating due to thermal coupling and mismatched VF.
What is the maximum continuous case temperature for reliable operation?
Per Figure 4, the DC forward current derating curve specifies 10A IO at TC = +25°C, decreasing linearly to ~7A at TC = +100°C and ~4A at TC = +125°C. Continuous operation above +125°C case temperature violates the TJ ≤ +150°C limit and risks parametric shift or failure.
Is thermal pad soldering required for TO220AB mounting?
No-thermal transfer occurs via mechanical contact between the isolated metal tab and heatsink. However, a thermally conductive but electrically isolating pad (e.g., mica or ceramic) must be used if the heatsink is grounded, since the tab connects directly to the common cathode terminal.
