Product details
Overview
STPS30H100CT from STMicroelectronics is a dual common-cathode Schottky rectifier in TO-220AB package, rated for 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 2 × 15 A average forward current per diode at TC = 155 °C, and 0.64 V typical forward voltage drop at 15 A / 125 °C. It is avalanche-rated, ECOPACK®2-compliant, and optimized for high-frequency DC/DC converters and LED lighting power stages.
For engineers reviewing the STPS30H100CT datasheet, STPS30H100CT pinout, STPS30H100CT application, or STPS30H100CT equivalent, key selection criteria include low conduction loss (VF ≤ 0.80 V @ 15 A, 25 °C), thermal robustness (Tj max = 175 °C), dual-diode integration for half-bridge or synchronous rectification, and TO-220AB mechanical compatibility with standard heatsink mounting.
Technical Context
This dual Schottky rectifier integrates two independent anodes sharing a common cathode terminal, enabling use in center-tapped or dual-output topologies without external interconnection. Its low VF and negligible switching losses stem from platinum-silicide Schottky barrier technology, not PN junction recovery.
Thermal design relies on junction-to-case resistance of 0.9 °C/W (total device) and coupling resistance of 0.10 °C/W between diodes - critical when both diodes conduct simultaneously, as self-heating in one diode affects the other's junction temperature via shared thermal path.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - supports input rails up to 85 V DC in offline SMPS or 48 V bus systems with margin |
| IF(AV) per diode | 15 A at TC = 155 °C - enables continuous 30 A total output in dual-phase or interleaved converter designs |
| VF (typ) | 0.64 V @ 15 A, 125 °C - reduces conduction loss to ~9.6 W per diode under full load, minimizing heatsink size |
| IR (max) | 6 mA @ 125 °C, VR = 100 V - limits standby leakage in always-on LED drivers or auxiliary supplies |
| Tj (max) | +175 °C - allows operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments without derating |
| Rth(j-c) | 0.9 °C/W (total) - requires ≥ 0.9 °C/W heatsink thermal resistance to maintain Tj ≤ 175 °C at full 30 A load |
| PARM | 778 W @ tp = 10 µs - withstands short-circuit energy in overcurrent protection schemes without failure |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated mounting tab (cathode-connected tab), 3-pin configuration: Pin 1 (Anode 1), Pin 2 (Cathode), Pin 3 (Anode 2). Mounting torque: 0.55 N·m recommended, 0.70 N·m maximum. Epoxy meets UL94 V0.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode 1 | Input terminal for first diode leg; electrically isolated from tab and Pin 3 |
| Pin 2 | Cathode (common) | Shared cathode node; internally bonded to metal tab - must be electrically connected to system ground or negative rail |
| Pin 3 | Anode 2 | Input terminal for second diode leg; electrically isolated from tab and Pin 1 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Negligible switching losses | No reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0), eliminating turn-off spikes and EMI in >100 kHz DC/DC converters |
| Avalanche rated | Withstands 778 W repetitive avalanche pulse (tp = 10 µs), enabling ruggedness in inductive load switching |
| Low VF / IR trade-off | 0.64 V VF @ 125 °C + 6 mA IR @ 125 °C - balances efficiency and leakage better than generic Schottkys |
| ECOPACK®2 compliant | Meets RoHS, halogen-free, and lead-free requirements without compromising thermal or electrical performance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay VS-30CPH01-M3 | Same VRRM (100 V), higher IF(AV) per diode (16 A), VF = 0.72 V @ 15 A, 25 °C - 12% higher conduction loss | TO-247 package only; larger footprint and higher mounting torque (1.0 N·m) | Select when higher surge current rating (IFS M = 300 A) is required and board space permits TO-247 |
| ON Semiconductor MBR30H100CT | Identical VRRM (100 V), same TO-220AB package, VF = 0.75 V @ 15 A, 25 °C - 17% higher VF than STPS30H100CT | Non-avalanche rated; no PARM specification - unsuitable for inductive fault conditions | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical consumer applications where avalanche robustness is not required |
Compared with VS-30CPH01-M3 and MBR30H100CT, STPS30H100CT delivers the lowest VF at elevated temperature and unique avalanche capability in TO-220AB - making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-reliability industrial and automotive auxiliary supplies.

FAQ
Is STPS30H100CT pin-compatible with STPS30H100CW?
No. STPS30H100CT uses TO-220AB package with 3 pins in straight-line configuration and isolated mounting tab. STPS30H100CW uses TO-247 package with 3 pins in staggered layout and different mechanical dimensions. PCB footprints, heatsink holes, and torque specifications are incompatible.
Can STPS30H100CT replace a single 30 A Schottky diode?
No. STPS30H100CT contains two independent 15 A diodes sharing a cathode - it cannot substitute a single-anode/single-cathode 30 A device. It is designed for dual-leg topologies (e.g., center-tapped windings), not single-path conduction.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous 30 A operation?
At 30 A total (15 A per diode), the maximum case temperature is 155 °C - per the IF(AV) rating definition in Table 1. Exceeding this causes irreversible thermal derating; sustained operation above 155 °C violates the 15 A per diode rating and risks premature failure.
Does the cathode tab require electrical isolation from the heatsink?
No. The metal tab is internally connected to the common cathode (Pin 2) and must be electrically tied to the system's negative rail or ground reference. Isolation would break the circuit path and render the device inoperable.
