STPS61L60CT

Diode Arrays Overview

STPS61L60CT is a dual Schottky rectifier from STMicroelectronics featuring a common cathode configuration. It operates with a maximum repetitive peak reverse voltage of 60 V and supports a continuous forward current of 60 A per diode. The device utilizes silicon technology in a TO-220AB-3 through-hole package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 580 mV, a peak non-repetitive forward surge current of 400 A, and a maximum reverse current of 800 μA. It functions within a junction temperature range of -65°C to +150°C.

Diode Arrays Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CT' corresponds to the tube packaging format when ordering. Confirm that the TO-220AB-3 package dimensions match the target PCB footprint requirements. Ensure thermal management solutions are adequate for the 60 A continuous current rating to maintain junction temperatures within the specified operational limits during high-load conditions.

Diode Arrays Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring high current handling at low voltage drops. The dual common cathode structure simplifies circuit design for center-tapped rectification. Compare against single-diode alternatives if space constraints allow, noting that the dual configuration offers higher aggregate current capacity. Verify compatibility with existing heat sink interfaces due to the through-hole mounting style.

Diode Arrays Part Context

The STPS61L60CT belongs to the STPS61L60C series of dual High Efficiency Low Drop Power Schottky Rectifiers. This series targets desktop SMPS designers seeking compliance with environmental standards and 80+ efficiency requirements.
