Product details
Overview
STPS2L60UF from STMicroelectronics is a 60 V, 2 A low-drop power Schottky rectifier in SMB Flat package, optimized for high-frequency switch-mode power supplies and battery chargers. It delivers typ. 0.51 V forward voltage at 2 A and 125 °C, with 150 °C max junction temperature and avalanche rating for robust transient handling.
For engineers reviewing the STPS2L60UF datasheet, STPS2L60UF pinout, STPS2L60UF application, or STPS2L60UF equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at rated current, thermal resistance (Rth(j-l) = 15 °C/W), avalanche energy capability (115 W @ 10 µs), and ECOPACK2 compliance for environmental design requirements.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier operates as a unidirectional, low-loss freewheeling or output rectification device in DC-DC converters and AC-DC auxiliary supplies. Its metal–semiconductor junction enables negligible reverse recovery charge and zero minority-carrier storage, eliminating switching losses typical of PN diodes.
Designed for surface-mount use on FR4 PCBs with copper area ≥2.5 cm² per lead, it leverages conduction cooling via leads (Rth(j-l) = 15 °C/W) and supports pulse surge currents up to 75 A (10 ms, sinusoidal) in SMB Flat configuration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines safe operating range in flyback or buck output stages. |
| IF(AV) | 2 A - Average forward current at TL = 130 °C (SMB Flat); sets continuous DC load capability without derating. |
| VF(typ.) | 0.51 V @ 2 A, 125 °C - Low conduction loss enabling >95% efficiency in 5–12 V output rails. |
| Rth(j-l) | 15 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance; enables direct PCB copper heatsinking without external heatsink. |
| IFSM | 75 A @ 10 ms - Non-repetitive surge rating; withstands inrush and fault currents in charger input stages. |
| PARM | 115 W @ 10 µs - Repetitive avalanche power; protects against inductive kickback in transformer-coupled topologies. |
| Tj(max) | +150 °C - Maximum junction temperature; allows operation in compact, sealed enclosures with limited airflow. |
Pinout & Package
SMB Flat package: surface-mount, cathode-banded, lead-free, UL94 V0 epoxy housing; dimensions 3.30–3.95 mm × 5.10–5.60 mm × 0.90–1.10 mm (L × W × H).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point under forward bias | Connected to switch node or transformer secondary center-tap; requires low-inductance layout to minimize ringing. |
| Cathode | Current exit point under forward bias | Connected to output capacitor and load; band-marked side; serves as primary thermal path to PCB copper pour. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Negligible switching losses | No reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0), eliminating turn-off loss and EMI in >100 kHz SMPS designs. |
| Low forward voltage drop | 0.51 V typ. at 2 A/125 °C reduces conduction loss by ~30% vs. comparable 60 V Si diodes, extending battery runtime. |
| Avalanche rated | 115 W repetitive avalanche power enables reliable operation without snubbers in inductive load switching. |
| ECOPACK2 compliant | Meets RoHS, halogen-free, and REACH requirements; suitable for consumer and industrial products with strict eco-regulations. |
| SMB Flat thermal performance | Rth(j-l) = 15 °C/W with 2.5 cm² copper per lead; achieves 2 A continuous current without forced air or heatsink. |
Applications
| Lighting Power Supply | Desktop Auxiliary Rail |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SS26 (Diodes Inc.) | Same 60 V VRRM, 2 A IF(AV), but VF = 0.70 V typ. @ 2 A/25 °C; Rth(j-l) = 20 °C/W (SMB) | Higher conduction loss reduces efficiency in thermally constrained 12 V outputs; less suitable for >60 °C ambient. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets and thermal margin exceeds 20 °C. |
| MBR260 (ON Semiconductor) | 60 V VRRM, 2 A IF(AV), VF = 0.65 V typ. @ 2 A/25 °C; no specified avalanche rating; DO-214AA (SMB) package. | Lacks avalanche ruggedness; unsuitable for inductive flyback or transformer-isolated topologies with leakage spikes. | Prefer only in non-inductive, low-surge applications like linear regulator bypass or simple DC feed. |
Compared with SS26 and MBR260, STPS2L60UF provides superior thermal performance (15 °C/W), lower forward drop at elevated temperature, and guaranteed avalanche capability-critical for reliable operation in compact, high-density SMPS designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable PCB copper area for optimal thermal performance of STPS2L60UF?
ST recommends ≥2.5 cm² of 35 µm-thick copper per lead on FR4 PCB for SMB Flat mounting. This achieves Rth(j-a) ≈ 40 °C/W and supports full 2 A IF(AV) at TL = 130 °C. Larger copper areas further reduce thermal resistance but yield diminishing returns beyond 5 cm².
Does STPS2L60UF require a heatsink in standard SMB Flat mounting?
No heatsink is required. With 2.5 cm² copper per lead, the device maintains Tj ≤ 150 °C at 2 A DC and 25 °C ambient. Thermal simulations confirm junction temperature remains below 135 °C even at 70 °C ambient, provided recommended footprint and solder mask clearance are followed.
Can STPS2L60UF replace a PN diode in an existing 60 V, 2 A design?
Yes-direct replacement is feasible if layout accommodates SMB Flat footprint and cathode polarity matches. Key benefits include elimination of reverse recovery loss, reduced EMI filtering needs, and lower VF-induced voltage drop. Verify surge current demands remain within 75 A IFSM limit.
Is STPS2L60UF suitable for automotive applications?
While not AEC-Q101 qualified, STPS2L60UF meets key automotive-environment stress factors: 150 °C Tj(max), avalanche rating, and ECOPACK2 compliance. It is used in infotainment auxiliary supplies and body-control module DC-DC stages-but formal qualification requires system-level validation per ISO 16750.
