Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version (ST(B)20120C.pdf) to confirm exact electrical characteristics and mechanical dimensions. Ensure the procurement matches the TO-220-3 through-hole package specification. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in official documentation before finalizing orders.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a common cathode Schottky array is required for low-loss rectification applications. The 120V rating suits lower voltage DC systems. The TO-220-3 package facilitates easy integration into standard PCB layouts requiring robust thermal management and mechanical stability.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the ST20120 series of Schottky diode arrays from SMC Diode Solutions. It shares functional similarities with other devices in the family but is distinguished by its specific 120V voltage rating and through-hole packaging format suitable for industrial power supplies.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include variants within the same SMC Diode Solutions series with compatible voltage ratings and package types. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance metrics before substitution.
