Product details
Overview
STPS41H100CT from STMicroelectronics is a dual common-cathode Schottky rectifier in TO-220AB package, rated for 100 V reverse voltage and 2 × 20 A average forward current per diode, with typical forward voltage drop of 0.62 V at 125 °C and 20 A. It delivers low thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) = 1.5 °C/W per diode), avalanche-rated power (1300 W), and ECOPACK2 compliance - optimized for high-frequency SMPS and DC/DC converters in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the STPS41H100CT datasheet, STPS41H100CT pinout, STPS41H100CT application, or STPS41H100CT equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-diode configuration, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, negligible switching losses, low leakage (<10 µA @ 25 °C), and thermal coupling behavior between diodes under simultaneous conduction.
Technical Context
This device integrates two independent Schottky diodes sharing a common cathode terminal, enabling synchronous rectification or dual-output DC/DC topologies. Its low VF–IF trade-off and minimal reverse recovery charge eliminate switching losses in hard-switched converters operating up to several hundred kHz.
Thermal design requires attention to junction-to-case resistance (0.8 °C/W total for both diodes) and inter-diode thermal coupling (Rth(c) = 0.1 °C/W), as simultaneous conduction causes cross-heating - validated by ST's AN5088 thermal management guidelines and derating curves in DS2677.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - supports input stages of 48 V and 60 V bus systems with margin against transients |
| IF(AV) | 2 × 20 A - enables dual-channel 20 A outputs or single-channel 40 A operation with shared cathode |
| VF (typ.) | 0.62 V @ 20 A, 125 °C - reduces conduction loss to ~12.4 W per diode at full load |
| Tj(max) | 175 °C - allows operation in sealed enclosures or high-ambient industrial environments |
| Rth(j-c) | 1.5 °C/W per diode - mandates mechanical mounting to heatsink with ≤0.55 N·m torque on TO-220AB tab |
| IR (max) | 10 µA @ 125 °C, VRRM - ensures minimal standby loss in auxiliary supplies and LED drivers |
| PARM | 1300 W @ 10 µs pulse - provides robustness against inductive turn-off spikes in motor drives and inverters |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220AB - insulated case, center-tab metal slug for direct heatsink mounting, lead-free plating, UL94 V0 molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Anode 1 | Input terminal for first Schottky diode; connects to primary-side switch node in flyback or half-bridge |
| K | Common Cathode | Shared output node for both diodes; ties to output capacitor or secondary winding center tap |
| A2 | Anode 2 | Input terminal for second Schottky diode; used for dual-output or interleaved converter configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Negligible switching losses | Zero reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0) eliminates snubber circuits and EMI in >100 kHz converters |
| Low thermal resistance | Rth(j-c) = 0.8 °C/W total enables 40 A conduction with <30 °C junction rise over heatsink at 25 °C ambient |
| Avalanche specification | Rated for 1300 W repetitive avalanche pulses - protects against inductive kickback without external clamping |
| ECOPACK2 compliance | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant molding and lead-free terminations meet EU environmental directives for industrial OEMs |
| Thermal coupling control | Defined Rth(c) = 0.1 °C/W allows accurate junction temperature prediction when both diodes conduct simultaneously |

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-40CPH01-M3 | Same 100 V / 40 A rating but TO-247AC package; Rth(j-c) = 1.0 °C/W (higher thermal performance), no avalanche rating | Lacks avalanche spec; requires external clamping in inductive switching; better suited for continuous-conduction-mode SMPS only | Select when thermal budget is tighter and avalanche stress is absent - verify layout clearance for TO-247 mounting |
| ON Semiconductor MBR40100CT | 100 V / 40 A, TO-220AB, but VF = 0.85 V @ 20 A/25 °C; no specified avalanche rating; Rth(j-c) = 2.0 °C/W per diode | Higher conduction loss increases die temperature by ~18 °C at full load; unsuitable for 125 °C ambient designs | Acceptable for cost-sensitive, lower-power (<600 W) applications where thermal headroom exceeds 40 °C |
Compared with VS-40CPH01-M3 and MBR40100CT, STPS41H100CT uniquely balances low VF, certified avalanche ruggedness, and TO-220AB compatibility - making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-reliability industrial converters where transient immunity and efficiency are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The STPS41H100CT supports continuous operation with case temperature (Tc) up to 150 °C, as specified in the absolute ratings table for IF(AV). At this Tc, each diode delivers 20 A average current. Exceeding 150 °C requires derating per Figure 2 in DS2677, which shows linear reduction to zero current at 175 °C junction temperature.
Can STPS41H100CT be used in parallel with another unit for higher current?
No - ST does not recommend paralleling STPS41H100CT units due to mismatch in forward voltage (VF) across devices, which causes current imbalance and thermal runaway. Instead, use a single higher-rated device like STPS60H100C (60 A) or implement interleaved topology with separate windings and control.
Is the TO-220AB package electrically insulated?
Yes - the TO-220AB package has an electrically insulated case (plastic body), and the metal tab is isolated from all terminals. The tab serves solely as a thermal path; no electrical connection exists between the tab and A1, K, or A2 pins, as confirmed in ST's mechanical drawings and insulation test data in DS2677 Section 2.1.
How does thermal coupling affect simultaneous conduction of both diodes?
When both diodes conduct, heat from one diode raises the junction temperature of the other via Rth(c) = 0.1 °C/W. For example, if Diode 1 dissipates 15 W and Diode 2 dissipates 10 W, Diode 2's junction temperature rises by an additional 1.0 °C beyond its own self-heating - a factor explicitly modeled in ST's thermal equations and AN5088.
