Product details
Overview
STPS40170CG-TR from STMicroelectronics is a dual-center-tab Schottky rectifier in D²PAK package, rated for 170 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 2 × 20 A average forward current per diode at Tc = 150 °C, with typical forward voltage drop of 0.69 V at 125 °C and 20 A - optimized for high-frequency SMPS and telecom DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the STPS40170CG-TR datasheet, STPS40170CG-TR pinout, STPS40170CG-TR application, or STPS40170CG-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) = 0.85 °C/W total), avalanche power rating (1015 W at 10 µs), junction temperature capability (175 °C), and low leakage (<30 mA at 125 °C, VR = VRRM).
Technical Context
This dual-diode Schottky rectifier integrates two independent anode-cathode junctions sharing a common center tab (cathode-connected configuration confirmed by D²PAK pinout and ST's "dual center tab" description), enabling synchronous or interleaved operation in high-efficiency power stages. Its low VF and low Rth(j-c) support high-current conduction with minimal thermal penalty.
The device operates with avalanche-rated capability (PARM = 1015 W, tp = 10 µs), enabling robust transient handling without external snubbers in flyback or LLC resonant topologies. Junction-to-case thermal resistance is split across diodes (1.20 °C/W per diode) and coupling path (0.50 °C/W), requiring derating when both diodes conduct simultaneously.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 170 V - supports input rectification up to 120 VAC full-wave or 48 VDC telecom bus with margin. |
| IF(AV) per diode | 20 A at Tc = 150 °C - enables 40 A total average output current in dual-phase configurations. |
| VF (typ.) | 0.69 V at 20 A, 125 °C - reduces conduction loss to ~13.8 W per diode under nominal load. |
| Rth(j-c) total | 0.85 °C/W - allows >50 W dissipation with 43 °C ΔT from junction to case, critical for compact heatsink designs. |
| IR @ 125 °C | ≤30 mA at VR = VRRM - limits standby power loss in offline adapters operating at elevated ambient. |
| Tj max | 175 °C - permits operation in sealed telecom enclosures or industrial environments without forced air. |
| PARM | 1015 W (tp = 10 µs) - withstands MOSFET turn-off spikes in hard-switched converters without failure. |
Pinout & Package
Package: D²PAK (TO-263AB), surface-mount, single-side heat transfer via exposed cathode tab. Dimensions per DS4412 Rev 2: D = 8.60–9.35 mm, E = 10.00–10.55 mm, L = 1.90–2.79 mm, with 3-pin layout (Pin 1: Anode 1, Pin 2: Cathode / Tab, Pin 3: Anode 2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode of Diode 1 | Connects to high-side switching node (e.g., transformer secondary or buck switch node); isolated from tab. |
| Pin 2 (Tab) | Common Cathode | Thermally and electrically connected to PCB copper pour; serves as return path for both diodes and primary heatsink interface. |
| Pin 3 | Anode of Diode 2 | Independent anode terminal enabling dual-output or phase-split rectification without shared anode routing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ECOPACK®2 compliance | Meets RoHS and halogen-free requirements for D²PAK variant - supports green manufacturing and export compliance. |
| Low thermal resistance | Rth(j-c) = 0.85 °C/W total enables >50 W continuous dissipation with standard 2 oz copper thermal pad. |
| Avalanche-rated operation | 1015 W peak avalanche power (10 µs) eliminates need for external clamping in flyback snubberless designs. |
| High-temperature junction rating | 175 °C max Tj allows derating headroom in sealed 85 °C ambient telecom systems without thermal shutdown. |
| Low VF / IR trade-off | 0.69 V VF (125 °C) + <30 mA IR (125 °C) balances efficiency and leakage in high-density 1 MHz+ DC/DC converters. |

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-40CPH07-M3 | 170 V VRRM, 40 A IF(AV) total, TO-247 package, VF = 0.72 V (125 °C), Rth(j-c) = 0.55 °C/W - lower VF but higher package height and no D²PAK option. | Preferred where vertical space allows and higher thermal performance is needed; not suitable for ultra-thin board designs. | Select when heatsink mounting torque >0.8 N·m is acceptable and board thickness constraints permit TO-247. |
| ON Semiconductor MBR40150CT | 150 V VRRM, 40 A IF(AV) total, TO-220AB package, VF = 0.75 V (125 °C), Rth(j-c) = 1.2 °C/W - lower voltage rating and higher thermal resistance. | Suitable only for ≤36 V input systems; requires larger heatsink due to higher Rth(j-c). | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs voltage margin and thermal performance needs in non-telecom applications. |
Compared with VS-40CPH07-M3 and MBR40150CT, STPS40170CG-TR uniquely delivers D²PAK surface-mount compatibility, 170 V rating, and sub-0.7 V VF in a thermally optimized package - making it the preferred choice for space-constrained, high-voltage telecom and server power supplies.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration of STPS40170CG-TR in D²PAK?
STPS40170CG-TR uses a 3-pin D²PAK layout: Pin 1 is Anode 1, Pin 2 is the exposed cathode tab (electrically and thermally common to both diodes), and Pin 3 is Anode 2. The center tab serves as the sole cathode connection and primary thermal interface - no separate cathode pin exists.
Does STPS40170CG-TR support parallel operation of both diodes?
Yes - both diodes share the same cathode (Pin 2/tab) and are electrically isolated anodes (Pins 1 and 3). Simultaneous conduction is supported, but thermal coupling must be accounted for: ΔTj(diode 1) = P₁ × 1.20 + P₂ × 0.50 °C/W, per DS4412 Table 2.
What is the maximum surge current rating?
The non-repetitive surge forward current (IFSM) is 250 A for a 10 ms sinusoidal pulse, as specified in DS4412 Table 1. This rating applies per diode and assumes Tj ≤ 175 °C prior to surge - critical for inrush limiting in hot-plug telecom modules.
Is ECOPACK®2 compliance verified for the D²PAK variant?
Yes - ST confirms ECOPACK®2 compliance (RoHS-compliant, halogen-free) for the D²PAK version (STPS40170CG-TR), as stated in Section 2 of DS4412 Rev 2. This includes compliant molding compound and lead finish, validated per JEDEC J-STD-020 and IEC 61249-2-21.
