ST12100

Single Diodes Overview

The ST12100 is a Schottky rectifying diode manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions. It features a maximum DC reverse voltage (Vr) of 100 V and an average forward current (Io) of 12 A. The device utilizes a TO-220AC through-hole package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage (Vf) of 0.7 V at the rated current. It is designed for general-purpose rectification applications requiring low forward drop and high current handling capabilities in a robust axial-leaded or tab-mounted form factor.

Single Diodes Feature Summary

• Schottky barrier technology for low forward voltage drop
• High current capacity of 12 A average rectified current
• Through-hole mounting via TO-220AC package

Single Diodes Applications

• General purpose rectification in power supplies
• Free-wheeling diodes in inductive load circuits
• Low voltage, high current DC-DC converter outputs

Single Diodes Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer designation, as sourcing data indicates potential attribution to Sensitron Semiconductor under the SMC Diode Solutions brand umbrella. Confirm the package type matches the required TO-220AC footprint. Ensure the 100 V rating and 12 A current specifications align with the circuit design requirements before procurement.

Single Diodes Selection Notes

Select this component when a through-hole Schottky diode is required for 100 V applications. The 12 A current rating supports high-power designs. Compare thermal resistance characteristics against available alternatives if heat dissipation is a critical constraint in the enclosure design.

Single Diodes Part Context

This component belongs to the family of single Schottky rectifiers offered by SMC Diode Solutions. It serves as a high-current alternative to smaller surface-mount packages, providing mechanical stability for industrial or heavy-duty electronics where through-hole assembly is preferred for reliability.

Single Diodes Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes must match the 100 V Vr, 12 A Io, and TO-220AC package. Verify that any replacement maintains the Schottky technology to preserve the low forward voltage characteristic.
