STF3060C

Diode Arrays Overview

The STF3060C is a Schottky rectifying diode array manufactured by SMC Diode Solutions. It features a single pair of common cathode diodes housed in an ITO-220AB (TO-220-3) through-hole package with an isolated tab. The device supports a maximum DC reverse voltage of 60 V and handles a load current of 30 A. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 0.65 V at 15 A and a reverse leakage current of 1.2 mA at 60 V. It operates within a junction temperature range of -55°C to 150°C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer part number against official SMC Diode Solutions documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm that the received components match the specified ITO-220AB package and pinout configuration. Check RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to assembly.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when a dual Schottky diode solution is required for low forward voltage drop and fast recovery times. The 60 V rating suits lower voltage DC-DC converter topologies. The through-hole package facilitates manual assembly or wave soldering processes where surface-mount alternatives are unsuitable. Consider thermal dissipation capabilities relative to the expected load current in the final enclosure design.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the STF series of Schottky rectifiers from SMC Diode Solutions, designed for power conversion efficiency. The STF3060C specifically targets applications requiring robust current handling in a standard through-hole footprint. It complements other variants in the lineup offering different voltage ratings and current capacities for diverse power supply designs.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with STF3060CR for potential alternative packaging or suffix variations. Verify pin compatibility and thermal resistance parameters before substituting with generic equivalents. Ensure any replacement maintains the common cathode configuration and sufficient reverse voltage margin for the target circuit.
