Product details
Overview
STPST12H100SF from STMicroelectronics is a 12 A, 100 V Schottky trench rectifier in PSMC (TO-277A) package, optimized for high-frequency SMPS with low conduction and switching losses. It delivers typ. VF = 0.570 V at 12 A/125 °C, Tj(max) = 175 °C, and Rth(j-c) = 1.0 °C/W, enabling compact auxiliary power supplies in telecom and smart metering systems.
For engineers reviewing the STPST12H100SF datasheet, STPST12H100SF pinout, STPST12H100SF application, or STPST12H100SF equivalent, key selection criteria include forward voltage trade-off at elevated junction temperature, avalanche ruggedness (IAS = 16 A), thermal resistance to case, and flat-package mounting compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device uses ST's proprietary trench Schottky technology to achieve superior VF/IR balance on minimal silicon area-enabling higher efficiency than planar Schottkys at same voltage rating. Its low Qrr and soft reverse recovery minimize EMI in flyback and DC/DC converters operating above 100 kHz.
The PSMC (TO-277A) package features dual anode terminals shorted internally, single cathode terminal, and direct thermal path via exposed metal tab. It supports conduction-cooled mounting without heatsink up to 12 A at Tc = 155 °C under square-wave conditions (δ = 0.5).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 100 V - maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; enables use in 48 V input SMPS with safety margin |
| IF(AV) | 12 A at Tc = 155 °C - average forward current rating under pulsed square-wave (δ = 0.5); defines continuous power handling capability |
| VF (typ.) | 0.570 V at 12 A, 125 °C - low conduction loss reduces I²R heating in high-current auxiliary rails |
| Tj (max.) | +175 °C - extended junction temperature allows operation in thermally constrained enclosures without derating |
| Rth(j-c) | 1.0 °C/W - low thermal resistance enables efficient heat transfer to PCB copper or heatsink via tab |
| IAS | 16 A - single-pulse avalanche current (L = 300 µH, VDD = 15 V); ensures robustness during unclamped inductive switching |
| IR (max.) | 14 mA at 125 °C, VR = 70 V - controlled leakage maintains efficiency in high-temp auxiliary bias supplies |
Pinout & Package
STPST12H100SF is housed in a PSMC (TO-277A) flat, surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad. The package has three terminals: two anodes (internally shorted) and one cathode, enabling low-inductance, high-current routing with minimal PCB footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode 1 / Anode 2 | Input current node (dual parallel connection) | Internally shorted anodes reduce series resistance and improve current sharing; optimized for high-current, low-VF conduction |
| Cathode | Output current node | Single low-inductance cathode terminal minimizes reverse recovery loop area and EMI in high-frequency switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trench Schottky architecture | Enables best-in-class VF/IR trade-off at 100 V, reducing both conduction and reverse recovery losses simultaneously |
| Avalanche-rated (IAS = 16 A) | Guarantees safe operation under unclamped inductive switching events common in flyback snubberless designs |
| ECOPACK2 compliance | Meets RoHS, halogen-free, and lead-free soldering requirements without compromising thermal or electrical performance |
| Flat PSMC (TO-277A) package | 0.9–1.24 mm profile enables ultra-thin power modules and space-constrained auxiliary supply layouts |
Applications

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 NTS4101PT1G | 100 V, 10 A, VF = 0.62 V @ 10 A/125 °C, Rth(j-c) = 1.5 °C/W, SOD-123FL package | Lower current rating and higher thermal resistance limit use to ≤8 A continuous loads; smaller footprint but less thermal headroom | Select when board space is critical and peak load < 8 A; not suitable for 12 A telecom auxiliary rails |
| Vishay VS-12EWH10-M3 | 100 V, 12 A, VF = 0.69 V @ 12 A/125 °C, Rth(j-c) = 1.2 °C/W, TO-277 package | Higher VF increases conduction loss by ~21% vs. STPST12H100SF; identical thermal interface but no avalanche rating | Acceptable where avalanche robustness is not required and 0.12 V higher drop is tolerable for cost-sensitive designs |
Compared with NTS4101PT1G and VS-12EWH10-M3, STPST12H100SF uniquely combines 12 A rating, 0.57 V VF, 1.0 °C/W Rth(j-c), and 16 A avalanche capability in a single ECOPACK2-compliant PSMC package-making it optimal for thermally demanding, high-reliability auxiliary SMPS.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous 12 A operation?
The datasheet specifies IF(AV) = 12 A at Tc = 155 °C under square-wave conditions (duty cycle δ = 0.5). Operation at full 12 A requires maintaining case temperature ≤155 °C via adequate copper area or heatsinking; exceeding this temperature necessitates current derating per Figure 3.
Is STPST12H100SF suitable for synchronous rectification replacement?
No-it is a passive Schottky rectifier, not a MOSFET-based synchronous rectifier controller or driver. However, its low VF and soft recovery make it a high-performance alternative to standard Schottkys in non-synchronous flyback or forward converters where gate drive complexity must be avoided.
Does the PSMC (TO-277A) package require solder paste stencil optimization?
Yes-the exposed thermal pad demands precise solder paste volume (typically 50–70% coverage) and reflow profile control to ensure void-free thermal interface. ST recommends using AN5088 guidelines for pad layout, solder mask definition, and thermal via placement beneath the tab.
How does the 16 A avalanche rating translate to real-world reliability?
The 16 A IAS rating (measured per Figure 1/2 with L = 300 µH, VDD = 15 V) guarantees single-event survivability under worst-case unclamped inductive switching-critical in flyback converters lacking snubbers. It reflects tested energy handling (EAS ≈ 0.5 × L × IAS²), not repetitive stress capability.
