STPS40SM60CG-TR

Diode Arrays Overview

The STPS40SM60CG-TR is a dual Schottky rectifier from STMicroelectronics, rated for 60V repetitive reverse voltage and 40A average forward current. It utilizes a SuperMESH™5 technology to achieve low forward voltage drop and high frequency operation. The device is housed in a D2PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with three pins. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum forward voltage of 920mV at 40A and a peak non-repetitive forward surge current of 200A. It is designed for high efficiency in switch-mode power supplies.

Diode Arrays Feature Summary

• SuperMESH™5 technology ensures low forward voltage drop and negligible switching losses.
• Avalanche rated capability provides robustness against transient energy events.
• Dual common cathode configuration supports center-tap rectification applications.

Diode Arrays Applications

• High frequency switched-mode power supplies
• DC-to-DC converters
• Free-wheeling diodes in inverter circuits

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G-TR' confirms the tape-and-reel packaging format and lead-free compliance status required for automated assembly processes. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet to ensure the component meets current environmental directives and material declarations before finalizing procurement specifications.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring a 60V rating with 40A continuous current handling in a surface-mount form factor. The D2PAK package offers thermal performance advantages over through-hole alternatives while maintaining compatibility with standard SMT production lines. Ensure adequate heatsinking is planned given the power dissipation levels associated with high-current Schottky rectification.

Diode Arrays Part Context

This part belongs to the STPS40SM series of SuperMESH™5 Power Schottky Rectifiers. The series is engineered for high-efficiency power conversion, combining low conduction losses with fast switching speeds. It serves as a modern alternative to traditional silicon rectifiers in compact, high-density power supply designs where thermal management and space constraints are critical factors.

Diode Arrays Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible substitutes within the same voltage and current class include the STPS40M60C (through-hole TO-220) or STPS40L60CT. For surface-mount equivalents, verify if the STPS40M60CG-TR variant is available, noting that package dimensions and thermal characteristics may differ slightly between SuperMESH variants.
