The STPS16170CG-TR is a dual Schottky rectifier from ST, common-cathode configuration, each diode rated for 170 V reverse and 8 A average forward current. The 920 mV forward drop at 8 A sets the conduction loss. Junction temp limit is 175 °C.
D2PAK footprint — layout checklist
Surface-mount D2PAK (TO-263-3, 2 leads plus tab). The exposed tab is the cathode common node — it carries the full return current, so the PCB pad must be connected to a large copper plane or thermal via array.
