Product details
Overview
STPS360AF from STMicroelectronics is a 60 V, 3 A average forward current Schottky barrier rectifier in SOD128Flat package, optimized for high-frequency DC-DC converters and miniature switched-mode power supplies with low conduction loss and 175 °C junction temperature capability.
For engineers reviewing the STPS360AF datasheet, STPS360AF pinout, STPS360AF application, or STPS360AF equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage drop at 3 A (0.61 V typ. @ 25 °C), reverse leakage (150 µA @ 25 °C), avalanche rating (140 W @ 10 µs), thermal resistance (16 °C/W junction-to-lead), and ECOPACK®-compliant lead-free packaging.
Technical Context
This Schottky rectifier uses a planar metal-silicon junction to achieve negligible switching losses and low forward voltage, enabling high-efficiency operation in 100 kHz–1 MHz DC-DC topologies. Its 60 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 65 A non-repetitive surge current support transient robustness in compact power stages.
The device operates across -40 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range and features avalanche-rated capability up to 140 W for 10 µs pulses at 125 °C, allowing reliable energy clamping without external snubbers in flyback or synchronous rectifier circuits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 60 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines usable input voltage range in buck/flyback designs |
| IF(AV) | 3 A @ TL = 140 °C - Continuous DC output current capability under real thermal mounting conditions |
| VF(typ.) | 0.61 V @ 25 °C, 3 A - Directly determines conduction loss: ~1.83 W at full load, critical for thermal design |
| IR | 150 µA @ 25 °C, 60 V - Low leakage preserves efficiency in standby and light-load modes |
| Rth(j-l) | 16 °C/W - Enables direct thermal path to PCB copper; supports >2 W dissipation with minimal lead temperature rise |
| Tj(max) | 175 °C - Allows operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments without derating |
| PARM | 140 W @ 10 µs - Specifies single-pulse avalanche energy handling for inductive turn-off protection |
Pinout & Package
SOD128Flat is a surface-mount, flat-lead, dual-terminal package with exposed cathode and anode pads. It provides low-profile (max. 1.03 mm height) and high thermal conductivity via direct copper contact on both leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Forward current entry point | Connected to input/source side; requires adequate copper pour for thermal management |
| Cathode (K) | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Connected to output/load side; serves as primary heat-sinking interface in layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Negligible switching losses | No reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0), eliminating turn-off loss and EMI in high-frequency SMPS |
| High junction temperature capability | Rated to 175 °C continuous operation-enables smaller heatsinks or no heatsink in 3 A applications |
| Good VF/IR trade-off | 0.61 V @ 3 A and 150 µA @ 60 V balances efficiency across load and standby conditions |
| Avalanche specification | 140 W pulse rating allows safe inductive energy absorption without external clamping diodes |
| ECOPACK® compliance | Lead-free, RoHS-compliant, UL94 V0 epoxy-meets global environmental and safety requirements |
Applications
| Server VRM Power Stage | USB-C PD Adapter Secondary Side |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-density 12 V → 3.3 V/5 V point-of-load conversion in server motherboards with strict thermal limits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier in synchronous buck converter operating at 500 kHz–1 MHz. Use Value: 0.61 V forward drop reduces conduction loss by ~30% vs. standard silicon diodes, lowering board temperature rise by 12 °C at 3 A. | Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in compact 65 W USB-C power adapters where size and efficiency are critical. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode in quasi-resonant flyback topology. Use Value: 175 °C max junction temperature enables full 3 A output in 12 mm² footprint without forced air cooling. |
| Industrial PLC Power Supply | Automotive Infotainment DC-DC Module |
Use Scenario: 24 V input DC-DC conversion for I/O modules operating in ambient temperatures up to 85 °C. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Input rectifier in isolated forward converter with wide input voltage tolerance. Use Value: 60 V VRRM and 65 A surge rating withstand 40 V transients per ISO 7637-2, eliminating need for TVS clamping. | Use Scenario: 12 V → 5 V/3.3 V conversion in head unit power management with vibration and thermal cycling exposure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectifier replacement in secondary-side LLC resonant converter. Use Value: Avalanche rating absorbs inductive kickback during cold-crank events (6 V–16 V input dips), preventing failure without added protection. |
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 SB360 | Same 60 V VRRM, 3 A IF(AV), but VF = 0.72 V typ. @ 3 A; Rth(j-l) = 20 °C/W | Higher conduction loss (+0.33 W) and reduced thermal margin in confined layouts | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency and thermal performance |
| Vishay VSSAF360-M3/5AT | Identical SOD128Flat package, 60 V/3 A rating, VF = 0.60 V typ., but IR = 250 µA @ 25 °C | Higher leakage may impact light-load efficiency in always-on systems | Prefer when footprint compatibility and VF matching are prioritized over leakage-critical standby operation |
Compared with SB360 and VSSAF360-M3/5AT, STPS360AF delivers the lowest combined conduction loss and thermal resistance while maintaining industry-leading leakage control-making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-efficiency 3 A DC-DC stages.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable PCB copper area for optimal thermal performance of STPS360AF?
Per Figure 8 in the datasheet, thermal resistance junction-to-ambient drops from ~100 °C/W (no copper) to ~45 °C/W with 2 cm² of 35 µm copper per lead on FR4. For full 3 A operation, ≥4 cm² total copper (2 cm² per lead) is recommended to maintain Tj < 125 °C at 50 °C ambient.
Does STPS360AF require a heatsink in typical 3 A applications?
No heatsink is required if PCB layout provides ≥4 cm² of 35 µm copper connected directly to both leads. With Rth(j-l) = 16 °C/W and PD ≈ 1.83 W at 3 A, lead temperature rise is ~29 °C above ambient-well within safe limits for standard FR4 boards.
Can STPS360AF replace a standard PN-junction rectifier in an existing 60 V design?
Yes-STPS360AF is a direct drop-in replacement for 60 V, 3 A PN rectifiers like 1N5822, offering lower VF (0.61 V vs. 0.9 V), zero Qrr, and higher Tj(max) (175 °C vs. 125 °C), resulting in measurable efficiency and thermal improvement without circuit modification.
Is STPS360AF suitable for automotive AEC-Q101 qualified applications?
No-STPS360AF is not AEC-Q101 qualified. While it operates from -40 °C to +175 °C and meets industrial reliability standards, it lacks the stress testing, lot traceability, and failure analysis reporting required for automotive qualification. Use ST's AEC-Q101-certified equivalents (e.g., STPS360A-TR) for automotive designs.
