Product details
Overview
STPS40H100CW from STMicroelectronics is a dual common-cathode Schottky rectifier optimized for high-frequency switch-mode power supplies and DC/DC converters, featuring 100 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 2 × 20 A average forward current per diode, 0.58 V typical forward voltage at 125 °C/20 A, 0.9 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance per diode, and avalanche-rated operation up to 1900 W (10 µs pulse). It is used in desktop power supplies and LED lighting inverters.
For engineers reviewing the STPS40H100CW datasheet, STPS40H100CW pinout, STPS40H100CW application, or STPS40H100CW equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-diode thermal coupling behavior, low VF at high Tj, TO-247 package mounting torque (0.8 N·m), and avalanche energy rating under transient overvoltage conditions.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent Schottky diodes sharing a common cathode terminal in a single TO-247 package, enabling interleaved or parallel conduction paths without cross-conduction risk. Its low forward voltage drop and negligible switching losses stem from platinum-silicide barrier technology and optimized epitaxial structure.
The thermal design accounts for mutual heating: when both diodes conduct simultaneously, junction temperature rise of Diode 1 depends on its own power plus 10% of Diode 2's power due to Rth(c) = 0.1 °C/W coupling resistance - critical for high-duty-cycle SMPS output rectification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - Maximum reverse blocking voltage per diode; defines safe operating range in 48 V–60 V bus applications with margin. |
| IF(AV) per diode | 20 A - Continuous DC current capability per diode at Tc = 160 °C; supports 40 A total device output in dual-phase designs. |
| VF (typ.) | 0.58 V @ 20 A, 125 °C - Low conduction loss enables >95% efficiency in high-current 12 V/24 V DC/DC secondaries. |
| Rth(j-c) per diode | 0.9 °C/W - Enables direct heatsink mounting; limits ΔTj to ≤18 °C at 20 A conduction with 18 W dissipation. |
| PARM | 1900 W @ 10 µs - Avalanche energy rating allows robustness against inductive turn-off transients in flyback or LLC resonant converters. |
| IR @ 125 °C | 5–15 mA - Controlled leakage ensures minimal standby loss in always-on power stages without thermal runaway. |
| ECOPACK®2 | Lead-free, RoHS-compliant packaging with UL94 V0 epoxy - meets industrial and consumer environmental compliance requirements. |
Pinout & Package
Packaged in TO-247 with isolated heat-sink plane, the STPS40H100CW uses a 3-terminal configuration: two anodes (A1, A2) and one shared cathode (K). Mounting torque must be controlled between 0.8 N·m (recommended) and 1.0 N·m (maximum) to ensure mechanical integrity and thermal contact.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Anode 1 | Input terminal for first Schottky diode; electrically isolated from A2; connects to primary-side switching node in dual-output SMPS. |
| A2 | Anode 2 | Input terminal for second Schottky diode; independent conduction path; enables phase-split rectification or redundancy. |
| K | Common Cathode | Shared output node; carries combined current of both diodes; requires low-inductance PCB trace to minimize ringing during fast recovery. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Negligible switching losses | No reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0); eliminates snubber circuits and reduces EMI in >100 kHz converters. |
| Low thermal resistance | Rth(j-c) = 0.9 °C/W per diode enables compact heatsinking - 30% lower than comparable TO-220 dual Schottkys. |
| Avalanche specification | Rated for 1900 W repetitive avalanche pulses (10 µs), allowing safe operation during MOSFET turn-off overshoot in unclamped topologies. |
| Good VF/IR trade-off | 0.58 V VF at 125 °C/20 A with only 15 mA IR at same condition - balances conduction loss and standby leakage better than standard Si diodes. |
| TO-247 mechanical robustness | Epoxy meets UL94 V0; lead-frame geometry supports 0.8 N·m torque - ensures long-term thermal interface stability in industrial power modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS30H100CG | Same TO-247 package but single-diode; 30 A IF(AV), higher VF (0.75 V typ. @ 25 °C) | Lacks dual-anode flexibility; requires two devices for same functionality | Select when space permits discrete placement and thermal isolation between paths is preferred |
| Vishay VS-40CPH01-M3 | 40 A total IF(AV), 100 V VRRM, but higher VF (0.82 V @ 125 °C) and no avalanche rating | Not rated for repetitive avalanche stress; unsuitable for unclamped flyback designs | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-avalanche applications with relaxed thermal constraints |
Compared with STPS30H100CG and VS-40CPH01-M3, the STPS40H100CW uniquely delivers dual-anode integration, avalanche robustness, and lowest VF at elevated temperature - making it optimal for compact, high-reliability SMPS where thermal coupling and transient immunity are design-critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous junction temperature for STPS40H100CW?
The absolute maximum operating junction temperature is +175 °C, validated under conditions where (dPtot/dTj) < (1/Rth(j-a)) to prevent thermal runaway. This rating applies per diode and assumes proper heatsink mounting with 0.8 N·m torque on the TO-247 screw.
Can STPS40H100CW be used in parallel with another identical device?
No - the device is not characterized for parallel operation. Its TO-247 package and internal thermal coupling between diodes are optimized for dual-path use within a single package, not for paralleling multiple units. Doing so risks current imbalance and localized overheating.
Is the common cathode internally bonded or externally accessible?
The common cathode (K) is a single external terminal accessible via the center pin of the TO-247 package. Internally, both diode dies share a monolithic cathode metallization layer - confirmed by thermal coupling data (Rth(c) = 0.1 °C/W) in the datasheet.
Does STPS40H100CW require a snubber circuit?
No snubber is required due to negligible reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0). The Schottky architecture eliminates minority-carrier storage, preventing voltage spikes during turn-off - verified by absence of Qrr parameter in all electrical characteristics tables and zero-recovery waveforms in application note AN4021.
