SDT20A60VCT

Diode Arrays Overview

The SDT20A60VCT is a dual common cathode Schottky rectifier manufactured by Diodes Incorporated. It utilizes Trench Schottky technology to deliver low forward voltage drop and excellent high-temperature stability. The device features a TO-220AB package with three terminals. Key electrical parameters include a peak repetitive reverse voltage of 60 V, an average rectified output current of 10 A per leg (20 A total), and a maximum forward voltage of 0.57 V at +25°C. The non-repetitive peak forward surge current is rated at 200 A. Operating temperature ranges from -55°C to +150°C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant required, as the SDT20A60VCT designation corresponds to the generic TO220AB package. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS and Halogen-free status against project specifications. Ensure thermal management aligns with the specified junction-to-case thermal resistance values provided in the datasheet for the selected mounting configuration.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high-frequency operation and low conduction losses. The Trench Schottky structure offers superior performance compared to standard silicon rectifiers. Consider the 60 V rating and 10 A per leg current capacity when designing power stages. Verify that the operating environment stays within the -55°C to +150°C junction temperature range for optimal reliability.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the 20A Trench Schottky Rectifier series from Diodes Incorporated. The series includes variants with different voltage ratings and package options, such as the SDT20A60VCTFP which uses an ITO220AB package. These devices are designed to provide a trade-off between leakage current and forward voltage drop suitable for general-purpose power rectification.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

The SDT20A60VCTFP serves as a direct package alternative within the same product family, utilizing the ITO220AB form factor while maintaining identical electrical characteristics. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical dimensions before substitution.
