120 V, 20 A Schottky — what the ratings mean
The 890 mV maximum forward drop at 20 A is typical for a 120 V Schottky at this current level; the trade-off is higher leakage (210 µA at 120 V) compared to a lower-voltage Schottky, which matters in standby or light-load efficiency calculations.
Through-hole I2PAK — board fit
Housed in a through-hole I2PAK (TO-262AA) package with long leads, this part is designed for PCB mounting where a heatsink tab is soldered to the board or clamped to an external heatsink. The through-hole form factor suits wave-solder assembly and provides robust mechanical retention in high-vibration environments such as industrial power supplies and automotive auxiliary converters.
