Product details
Overview
STPS30SM60SR from STMicroelectronics is a single silicon Schottky power rectifier in I2PAK package, rated for 30 A average forward current and 60 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, with typical forward voltage drop of 0.405 V at 125 °C and 30 A. It is avalanche-rated (80 V max single-pulse), thermally optimized for conduction cooling, and deployed in high-frequency AC-DC adapters for notebooks and desktop PCs.
For engineers reviewing the STPS30SM60SR datasheet, STPS30SM60SR pinout, STPS30SM60SR application, or STPS30SM60SR equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at high junction temperature, avalanche energy handling under transient overvoltage, thermal resistance (1.0 °C/W junction-to-case), and package-specific mounting torque (0.4–0.6 N·m) for reliable thermal interface integrity.
Technical Context
This Schottky diode operates without minority-carrier storage delay, enabling high-frequency switching (>100 kHz) in SMPS secondary-side rectification. Its low VF minimizes conduction loss-calculated as P = 0.440 × IF(AV) + 0.0043 × IF²(RMS)-and its 150 °C maximum junction temperature supports operation under sustained load in compact adapter designs.
The device is validated for repetitive avalanche energy (28 kW peak, 1 µs pulse) and features a defined reverse safe operating area (SOA) up to 105 A and 80 V for <1 µs pulses. Thermal impedance is stable across pulse durations ≥100 µs, supporting consistent derating per Figure 4 and Figure 5.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IF(AV) | 30 A - Sustained DC output current capability at Tc = 125 °C, defining continuous power delivery in adapter secondary circuits |
| VRRM | 60 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage, setting minimum input-output voltage margin in 19–24 V output adapters |
| VF (typ) | 0.405 V @ 30 A, 125 °C - Low conduction loss directly reducing heat generation and improving full-load efficiency |
| Rth(j-c) | 1.0 °C/W - Enables predictable thermal design when mounted on heatsink; 30 W dissipation yields ≤30 K rise above case |
| IFSM | 600 A @ 10 ms sine - Withstands inrush and short-circuit surge currents without failure in unregulated output stages |
| VARM / VASM | 80 V @ tp < 1 µs - Specifies clamping voltage during fast transients, protecting downstream circuitry in non-isolated topologies |
| Tj (max) | 150 °C - Junction temperature limit requiring thermal management coordination between PCB copper area and mechanical mounting |
Pinout & Package
Package: I2PAK (TO-263AB), surface-mount with isolated tab (pin 3), thermally enhanced for conduction cooling. Mounting torque: 0.4–0.6 N·m.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Anode) | Input terminal for forward current flow | Connected to transformer secondary or switching node; carries full load current with minimal voltage offset |
| Pin 2 (Cathode) | Output terminal for forward current flow | Connects to output filter capacitor and load; low VF ensures minimal voltage sag under dynamic load steps |
| Pin 3 (Tab / Cathode) | Electrically connected cathode and thermal path | Must be electrically isolated from heatsink but thermally coupled; provides primary heat extraction path (Rth(j-c) = 1.0 °C/W) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Avalanche-rated operation | Validated for repetitive 28 kW peak avalanche power (tp = 1 µs), enabling robustness against line transients and no-snubber designs |
| Low forward voltage drop | 0.405 V typ. @ 30 A/125 °C reduces conduction loss by ~35% vs. comparable 60 V Si diodes, directly improving adapter efficiency at high load |
| High-frequency suitability | No reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0), eliminating switching loss and EMI associated with minority-carrier diodes in >100 kHz SMPS |
| Thermally optimized package | I2PAK's low Rth(j-c) and isolated tab allow direct heatsink mounting without insulating pads, simplifying thermal layout and reducing assembly cost |
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-30CPH06-M3 | Same 60 V VRRM, 30 A IF(AV), but TO-247AC package; Rth(j-c) = 0.9 °C/W; VF = 0.52 V @ 30 A/125 °C | Higher thermal performance but larger footprint; requires through-hole PCB layout and different mounting hardware | Select when board space allows TO-247 and lower thermal resistance is prioritized over surface-mount assembly |
| ON Semiconductor MBR3060CT | Dual common-cathode configuration in TO-220 package; each die rated 15 A; VF = 0.68 V @ 15 A/125 °C; no avalanche rating | Not single-die replacement; lacks avalanche validation and has higher VF, increasing conduction loss by ~65% | Acceptable only in non-transient-prone, low-cost adapters where surge immunity is managed externally |
Compared with VS-30CPH06-M3, STPS30SM60SR offers superior surface-mount integration and lower VF but slightly higher thermal resistance; versus MBR3060CT, it delivers verified avalanche ruggedness and 30% lower conduction loss, making it preferable for compact, high-reliability adapters.

FAQ
What is the recommended PCB copper area for thermal management of STPS30SM60SR?
Per Figure 11, a minimum 25 cm² of 35 µm thick copper under the tab reduces Rth(j-a) to ~25 °C/W. For ambient temperatures up to 50 °C and 30 A load, this area limits junction temperature to ~135 °C, staying within the 150 °C absolute maximum rating.
Does STPS30SM60SR require a heatsink in typical adapter applications?
Yes-though the I2PAK package enables direct heatsink mounting, a mechanically attached aluminum heatsink (≥100 cm², 10 mm thick) is required to maintain Tj ≤ 125 °C at full 30 A load with 25 °C ambient. Without it, junction temperature exceeds rating within seconds under sustained load.
Can STPS30SM60SR replace a standard PN-junction rectifier in an existing 60 V design?
Yes, provided the original design uses a 60 V, ≥30 A rectifier and does not rely on reverse recovery for timing functions. STPS30SM60SR eliminates reverse recovery loss and reduces forward drop, but its zero Qrr means snubber circuits designed for PN diodes may need re-optimization to avoid voltage overshoot.
Is STPS30SM60SR compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes-STPS30SM60SR carries ECOPACK®2 compliance, meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. The epoxy molding compound is UL94 V0 rated, and lead finish is matte tin, fully compatible with lead-free reflow profiles.
