STPS30L60CT

Diode Arrays Overview

The STPS30L60CT is a dual Schottky rectifier from STMicroelectronics, packaged in a TO-220AB housing with three pins. It features a common cathode configuration with two silicon elements. The device supports a maximum repetitive reverse voltage of 60 V and a continuous forward current of 30 A. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 750 mV, a peak non-repetitive forward surge current of 230 A, and a maximum reverse current of 480 μA. It operates within a temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• Dual center tap configuration for efficient power conversion
• Low forward voltage drop for reduced power loss
• Negligible switching losses suitable for high frequency applications
• Specified avalanche capability for robust operation

Diode Arrays Applications

• Switched mode power supplies
• High frequency DC to DC converters
• High frequency inverters

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tube packaging when sourcing. Confirm the package variant matches the required lead style (narrow vs standard) as variations exist within the series. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements for the target assembly process. Cross-reference the datasheet revision to confirm thermal resistance values match the design calculations.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a 60 V rating with 30 A total current capacity in a through-hole format. The low forward voltage makes it suitable for improving efficiency in low output voltage applications. Consider the thermal management requirements due to the power dissipation at full load. Verify that the operating frequency aligns with the negligible switching loss benefits.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the STPS30L60C series of dual Schottky rectifiers. Other variants in the series include different package options such as TO-247, D2PAK, and I2PAK, or insulated versions like the TO-220FPAB. The series is designed for medium voltage operations where low noise and high efficiency are critical.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

STPS30L60CG serves as a pin-compatible alternative with similar electrical characteristics but may differ in package insulation properties. STPS30L60CR offers comparable performance in a reel-packaged format. Verify that any substitute maintains the same 60 V reverse voltage and 30 A current ratings.
