Product details
Overview
STPS2L40ZFY from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q101-qualified automotive Schottky rectifier in SOD123Flat package, rated for 2 A average forward current and 40 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, with typical forward voltage drop of 0.50 V at 125 °C and 2 A, used for polarity protection and freewheeling in low-voltage DC/DC converters and automotive power systems.
For engineers reviewing the STPS2L40ZFY datasheet, STPS2L40ZFY pinout, STPS2L40ZFY application, or STPS2L40ZFY equivalent, key selection criteria include junction-to-lead thermal resistance (20 °C/W), avalanche capability (65 W at 10 µs), conduction loss equation (P = 0.46×IF(AV) + 0.075×IF²(RMS)), and SOD123Flat surface-mount compatibility with PPAP support.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier operates with negligible switching losses due to majority-carrier conduction and features specified avalanche capability up to 65 W at 10 µs pulse width and 125 °C junction temperature. Its low VF (0.50 V typ. at 125 °C, 2 A) enables high-efficiency operation in 12 V and 24 V automotive subsystems.
The device is qualified per AEC-Q101 and supports PPAP documentation, with thermal performance defined by Rth(j-l) = 20 °C/W and maximum junction temperature of 175 °C. It uses epoxy-molded SOD123Flat packaging compliant with UL94 V0 and ECOPACK® environmental standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IF(AV) | 2 A - continuous forward current rating at TL = 145 °C, defining maximum steady-state DC load handling |
| VRRM | 40 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage before breakdown, suitable for 12 V/24 V automotive bus protection |
| VF (typ.) | 0.50 V at Tj = 125 °C, IF = 2 A - low conduction loss enabling >92% efficiency in 5–12 V buck converters |
| Tj (max.) | 175 °C - maximum operating junction temperature, supporting under-hood deployment without derating |
| Rth(j-l) | 20 °C/W - junction-to-lead thermal resistance, enabling direct PCB copper pad heat sinking without external heatsink |
| PARM | 65 W at tp = 10 µs, Tj = 125 °C - avalanche energy handling capacity for transient overvoltage suppression |
| IR (max.) | 10 mA at Tj = 125 °C, VR = VRRM - reverse leakage limiting self-heating during high-temp standby |
Pinout & Package
SOD123Flat is a surface-mount, two-terminal plastic package with gull-wing leads, optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering. Dimensions: L = 0.45–0.85 mm, D = 2.50–2.70 mm, E = 1.50–1.80 mm, HD = 3.30–3.70 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NSS2L40MZT1G | Same SOD123Flat package, VF = 0.52 V (typ., 125 °C), IFSM = 40 A (vs. 50 A) | Limited to non-PPAP automotive programs; no explicit AEC-Q101 test report published | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs PPAP requirement and surge margin is relaxed |
| Vishay VS-2EY40HM3 | DO-214AC (SMA) package, VF = 0.55 V (typ., 125 °C), Rth(j-a) = 50 °C/W (vs. 20 °C/W j-l) | Requires larger PCB footprint and external thermal relief; not qualified to AEC-Q101 | Used only when legacy SMA layout prohibits SOD123Flat adoption and thermal budget permits higher Rth |
Compared with NSS2L40MZT1G and VS-2EY40HM3, STPS2L40ZFY uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, PPAP readiness, superior thermal resistance (20 °C/W j-l), and highest surge rating (50 A IFSM), making it the sole choice for safety-critical automotive power rails requiring full audit traceability.

FAQ
Is STPS2L40ZFY suitable for 48 V mild-hybrid automotive systems?
No. With a 40 V VRRM rating, STPS2L40ZFY is designed for 12 V and 24 V nominal systems only. For 48 V architectures, ST recommends STPS3L60S or STPS5L60, both rated at ≥60 V VRRM and qualified to AEC-Q101.
What is the minimum copper area required under each lead for thermal compliance?
Per Figure 8 in the datasheet, a 1.4 cm² copper surface per lead achieves Rth(j-a) ≈ 50 °C/W on FR4. However, since STPS2L40ZFY is characterized by Rth(j-l) = 20 °C/W, thermal design should prioritize direct conduction to internal ground/power planes via wide traces-not ambient dissipation.
Does STPS2L40ZFY require a heatsink in 2 A continuous operation?
No. At 2 A IF(AV) and 0.50 V VF, power dissipation is ~1.0 W. With Rth(j-l) = 20 °C/W and adequate PCB copper (≥2 cm² per lead), junction temperature rise remains <25 °C above board temperature-well within the 175 °C limit without external heatsinking.
Can STPS2L40ZFY replace a standard PN-junction diode in an existing design?
Yes, provided reverse voltage does not exceed 40 V and layout accommodates SOD123Flat footprint. The lower VF reduces conduction loss and thermal stress, but note that Schottky devices exhibit higher IR at elevated temperatures-verify leakage impact on standby current in battery-powered modules.
