STB20100C

Diode Arrays Overview

The STB20100C is a Schottky barrier rectifier manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions, housed in a D2PAK (TO-263-3) surface-mount package. It features a dual common cathode configuration with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 100 V and an average forward rectified current of 20 A per diode. The device exhibits a typical forward voltage drop of 950 mV at 20 A and a maximum reverse leakage current of 4 mA at 100 V. Operating junction temperatures range from -55°C to +150°C, ensuring reliability in high-temperature environments.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Schottky technology provides low forward voltage drop for improved efficiency
• Dual common cathode configuration allows for bridge or full-wave applications
• High thermal stability supports operation up to 150°C junction temperature

Diode Arrays Applications

• DC-to-DC converters
• Power factor correction circuits
• Free-wheeling diodes in synchronous rectifiers

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number against official SMC Diode Solutions documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the specific order suffix matches the required packaging format, such as tape and reel or cut tape, as these affect handling but not electrical performance. Check RoHS compliance status if restricted substances are a constraint for your assembly process.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-loss, high-current solution is required in a compact surface-mount footprint. The 100 V rating suits lower voltage DC bus applications. Ensure the PCB thermal design can dissipate heat generated by the 20 A current capacity, as the D2PAK package relies on copper area for thermal management.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This device belongs to the STB series of Schottky rectifiers from SMC Diode Solutions, designed for general-purpose power conversion. The series offers various voltage and current combinations in standardized packages like TO-263AB. These components are engineered to replace bulkier through-hole rectifiers in modern, space-constrained electronic designs.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference lists for verified substitutes. Ensure any replacement maintains the same voltage, current, and package specifications to guarantee compatibility.
