Product details
Overview
STPS20170CG from STMicroelectronics is a dual center-tap high-voltage Schottky rectifier diode in D2PAK package, rated for 170 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 10 A average forward current per diode (IF(AV)), and 175 °C maximum junction temperature (Tj). It delivers low forward voltage drop (VF ≤ 0.75 V at 10 A, 125 °C) and supports high-frequency switched-mode power supplies with avalanche-rated surge capability (IFSM = 180 A, 10 ms).
For engineers reviewing the STPS20170CG datasheet, STPS20170CG pinout, STPS20170CG application, or STPS20170CG equivalent, this device is selected for high-efficiency AC/DC front-ends, synchronous rectification in LLC resonant converters, and industrial DC-DC modules where thermal robustness, low conduction loss, and dual-diode integration reduce board space and thermal coupling complexity.
Technical Context
This dual-center-tap Schottky rectifier integrates two independent anode-cathode paths sharing a common cathode terminal (K), enabling center-tapped transformer secondary rectification without external node tying. Its silicon carbide–compatible metallization and optimized epitaxial structure yield low dV/dt sensitivity (10,000 V/µs) and stable reverse leakage (<15 µA at 25 °C, <15 mA at 125 °C).
The device operates up to 175 °C junction temperature with Rth(j–c) = 1.3 °C/W (per diode, total) in D2PAK, and uses a thermally enhanced epoxy package meeting UL94 V0. Avalanche energy handling (6700 W, 1 µs pulse) is derated linearly above 25 °C per Figure 4, supporting transient overvoltage resilience in unregulated input stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 170 V - Withstands peak reverse voltage in 120/230 VAC-derived DC bus applications without breakdown. |
| IF(AV) per diode | 10 A at Tc = 155 °C - Supports continuous 10 A conduction per path with heatsink mounting. |
| VF max | 0.75 V at IF = 10 A, Tj = 125 °C - Enables <0.75 W conduction loss per diode at rated DC load. |
| IFSM | 180 A (10 ms sinusoidal) - Handles inrush and short-circuit surges in offline SMPS without failure. |
| Rth(j–c) | 1.3 °C/W (total, per diode) - Delivers ~13 °C rise at 10 A conduction, enabling compact thermal design. |
| Tj max | 175 °C - Allows operation in high-ambient industrial environments without derating below full current. |
Pinout & Package
D2PAK (TO-263AB) surface-mount package with exposed metal tab for thermal conduction; 3-pin configuration: two anodes (A1, A2) and one shared cathode (K). Tab is electrically connected to cathode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Anode of Diode 1 | Connects to one leg of center-tapped transformer secondary; carries half-bridge rectified current. |
| A2 | Anode of Diode 2 | Connects to opposite leg of center-tapped transformer secondary; enables complementary conduction path. |
| K | Common Cathode | Single output node for full-wave rectified DC; must be routed to low-inductance ground/power plane. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage dual Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-20CPH07 | Same VRRM (170 V), but TO-247 package; higher Rth(j–c) = 1.8 °C/W; VF = 0.78 V @ 10 A, 125 °C. | Requires larger heatsink footprint; not surface-mount compatible; better suited for through-hole legacy designs. | Select when mechanical compatibility with TO-247 sockets is required and PCB real estate is unconstrained. |
| ON Semiconductor MBR20150CT | Lower VRRM = 150 V; same D2PAK package; VF = 0.82 V @ 10 A, 125 °C; no avalanche rating specified. | Not suitable for 170 V systems; lacks transient surge margin; requires additional TVS protection in harsh environments. | Select only for cost-sensitive 150 V-rated applications where transient immunity is managed externally. |
Compared with VS-20CPH07 and MBR20150CT, STPS20170CG uniquely combines D2PAK surface-mount form factor, 170 V rating, 175 °C operation, and documented avalanche capability-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability industrial SMPS where thermal density and transient resilience are co-constrained.

FAQ
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (Rth(j–c)) for STPS20170CG?
The STPS20170CG has a total Rth(j–c) of 1.3 °C/W per diode in the D2PAK package, measured with the tab fully soldered to a 10 cm² copper area on FR4 PCB. This value applies when both diodes operate simultaneously under balanced loading, and accounts for internal thermal coupling via the shared cathode structure.
Does STPS20170CG support center-tapped transformer configurations?
Yes - STPS20170CG is explicitly designed as a dual center-tap Schottky rectifier. Its pinout (A1, A2, K) maps directly to the two secondary windings and common center tap of a center-tapped transformer, enabling full-wave rectification without external cathode connection or discrete diode pairing.
Is STPS20170CG RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - STPS20170CG complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per STMicroelectronics' specification document "ECOPACK® Definitions." The D2PAK package uses lead-free matte tin plating and UL94 V0 epoxy, verified in ST's official material declaration (Doc ID 17119).
Can STPS20170CG replace standard ultrafast diodes in existing designs?
Yes - STPS20170CG replaces ultrafast bipolar diodes like BYV26E or UF5408 in center-tap topologies, offering lower VF, zero reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 0), and reduced EMI. Layout changes may be needed to accommodate D2PAK footprint and thermal pad requirements, but no circuit re-design is required.
