The STMicroelectronics STPS1L40AFN is a 40 V, 1 A Schottky barrier rectifier in the DO-221AC SMA Flat Leads package. It's built for low-voltage, high-frequency rectification — the 500 mV forward drop at 1 A cuts conduction losses in switching power supplies, freewheeling diodes, and polarity protection circuits. Rated junction temperature hits 175°C, so it can sit near hot magnetics or in confined enclosures.
Key specs at a glance
Reverse voltage: 40 V maximum. Average rectified current: 1 A. Forward voltage: 500 mV max at 1 A. Reverse leakage: 35 µA at 40 V. Recovery speed: fast recovery (≤ 500 ns, > 200 mA).
The STPS1L40AFN is marked obsolete. STMicroelectronics no longer manufactures this exact order code. That means no factory lead times, no last-time-buy window — the only channel is independent distribution sourcing existing stock. If you're qualifying a new design, look at current STPS1L-series parts in the same SMA Flat Leads package, though pin-for-pin compatibility should be verified against the footprint.
