Dual Schottky in D2PAK — 8 A per diode at 170 V
The STMicroelectronics STPS16170CG is a dual common-cathode Schottky rectifier in a D2PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package. Each diode is rated for 8 A average rectified current at a 170 V reverse voltage, with a forward voltage drop of 920 mV at 8 A.
Buyers should qualify stock for authenticity and lead time.
The D2PAK (TO-263) package with exposed tab is the standard high-current surface-mount footprint for power rectifiers in this class. The 175°C junction rating allows aggressive thermal design, but the tab-to-ambient thermal resistance will dominate at 8 A continuous per diode — a layout with thermal vias and a bottom-side copper pour is recommended.
