SDT10A100CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The SDT10A100CT is a Trench Schottky Rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated, featuring a dual common cathode configuration within a TO-220AB package. It provides a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 100 V and an average rectified output current of 5 A per leg (10 A total). The device exhibits a maximum forward voltage drop of 0.66 V at +25°C with 5 A current and maintains a maximum leakage current of 50 µA under the same conditions. It supports non-repetitive peak forward surge currents up to 150 A and operates reliably across a temperature range from -55°C to +150°C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official documentation to confirm the exact package variant, as the base part number covers multiple physical configurations including generic TO-220AB and insulated ITO-220AB types. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS and halogen-free status directly with the manufacturer's latest datasheet revision before finalizing procurement specifications.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when designing power supplies requiring low conduction losses and high thermal stability. Ensure the application accounts for the 5 A per leg rating in dual configurations and verify that the operating junction temperature remains within the specified -55°C to +150°C range. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics relative to the chosen heatsinking method for optimal performance.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the 10A Trench Schottky Rectifier series produced by Diodes Incorporated. It represents an evolution in Schottky barrier technology, utilizing trench structures to reduce forward voltage compared to standard planar devices. The product line targets efficient power conversion in compact through-hole packages.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Consult the manufacturer's official cross-reference documentation for verified substitutes. Generic replacements must match the 100 V reverse voltage, 5 A per leg current rating, and TO-220AB form factor while maintaining equivalent forward voltage and leakage specifications.
