Product details
Overview
STPS41H100CTY from STMicroelectronics is an automotive-grade dual center-tap Schottky rectifier in TO-220AB package, rated for 100 V repetitive reverse voltage, 2 × 20 A average forward current per diode, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature. It delivers low forward voltage drop (0.62 V typ. at 20 A, 125 °C) and negligible switching losses, enabling high-efficiency DC/DC converters in engine control units and automotive infotainment power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the STPS41H100CTY datasheet, STPS41H100CTY pinout, STPS41H100CTY application, or STPS41H100CTY equivalent, key selection criteria include avalanche rating (1300 W peak), AEC-Q101 qualification, thermal resistance (1.5 °C/W j-c per diode), low leakage (≤10 µA at 25 °C), and ECOPACK®2 compliance for automotive supply chain traceability.
Technical Context
This dual-center-tap Schottky rectifier integrates two independent anode-cathode diodes sharing a common cathode terminal, optimized for synchronous rectification in high-frequency SMPS topologies. Its low VF–IR trade-off enables reduced conduction loss while maintaining <10 µA reverse leakage at 25 °C and ≤10 mA at 125 °C under full VRRM.
The device features avalanche-rated ruggedness (1300 W peak, 10 µs pulse), validated per AN1768 and AN2025, and supports thermal management via case-conduction cooling with Rth(j-c) = 1.5 °C/W per diode. Junction temperature operation spans –40 to +175 °C, meeting PPAP-capable automotive production requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual Schottky rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STPS40H100CGY | D²PAK package; Rth(j-c) = 1.0 °C/W per diode; same electrical specs | Better thermal performance but requires surface-mount assembly and larger PCB footprint | Select when board space permits SMT and higher thermal efficiency is critical |
| VS-42BA100 | Vishay TO-220AB part; VF = 0.72 V (typ) @ 20 A, 125 °C; no AEC-Q101 or avalanche rating | Lacks automotive qualification and transient ruggedness; lower cost for non-automotive use | Select only for industrial or consumer applications where AEC-Q101 is not required |
Compared with STPS41H100CTY, STPS40H100CGY offers superior thermal resistance but demands reflow-compatible layout, while VS-42BA100 sacrifices automotive reliability and low-VF advantage for cost savings in non-automotive systems.

FAQ
Is STPS41H100CTY pin-compatible with STPS40H100CGY?
No. STPS41H100CTY uses TO-220AB through-hole packaging with 3 leads and isolated tab, while STPS40H100CGY uses D²PAK surface-mount packaging with 3 gull-wing leads and exposed thermal pad. Mechanical mounting, PCB layout, and thermal interface differ fundamentally.
What is the maximum continuous forward current per diode at 150 °C case temperature?
Per Table 2, IF(AV) per diode is rated at 20 A when Tc = 150 °C and duty cycle δ = 0.5. This value is derated linearly above 150 °C case temperature using Rth(j-c) = 1.5 °C/W and Tj(max) = 175 °C, yielding ~13.3 A at Tc = 165 °C.
Does STPS41H100CTY require external snubbers in 250 kHz DC/DC converters?
No. Its negligible switching losses and low junction capacitance (typ. 1.2 nF at 10 V, Figure 7) eliminate need for snubbers in typical 250 kHz automotive buck or forward converters. Layout parasitics-not diode behavior-dominate ringing in this frequency range.
Can the common cathode be used as a thermal pad for heatsinking?
Yes. The metal tab is electrically connected to Pin 2 (common cathode) and designed for direct heatsink mounting. Thermal interface material must be applied between tab and heatsink; isolation washers are unnecessary unless circuit-level galvanic isolation is required.
