DST2060C

Diode Arrays Overview

The Littelfuse DST2060C is a Schottky Barrier Rectifier featuring a dual common cathode configuration housed in a TO-220AB package. It provides an average forward current of 10 A per leg (20 A total) and a peak inverse voltage rating of 60 V. The device supports a junction temperature range from -55 °C to +150 °C with a thermal resistance of 3.0 °C/W per leg. Forward voltage drop is specified at 0.65 V at 10 A and 25 °C, while reverse current reaches 40 mA maximum at 125 °C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Ultra low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency
• High frequency operation capability
• Guard ring structure for enhanced ruggedness and long term reliability

Diode Arrays Applications

• Switching mode power supplies
• DC/DC converters
• Free-wheeling diodes
• Polarity protection diodes

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant against the datasheet pinout diagrams, as the DST series includes D2-PAK, ITO-220AB, and TO-220AC options alongside the standard TO-220AB. Confirm that the ordering suffix matches the required mechanical dimensions and mounting style. Ensure compliance with RoHS and lead-free requirements if applicable to the target assembly process.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when high-frequency switching applications require low conduction losses and high thermal stability. The common cathode topology simplifies circuit design for synchronous rectification or polarity protection. Evaluate the thermal resistance and case temperature limits to ensure adequate heat sinking for continuous 10 A per leg operation under expected ambient conditions.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the Littelfuse DST series of Ultra Low VF Schottky Barrier Rectifiers. The series is engineered to meet commercial and industrial standards by offering high temperature performance and lower leakage currents compared to standard rectifiers. The naming convention indicates a 20 A total forward current rating and a 60 V reverse voltage capability.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the MBR2060CT family, noting differences in forward voltage specifications and packaging styles such as TO-220-2 versus TO-220AB. Verify that alternative components maintain the same common cathode configuration and thermal resistance characteristics to ensure compatibility with existing heatsinking solutions.
