The STPS3045CT is a dual Schottky rectifier in a common-cathode pair, each diode rated for 15 A average with a forward voltage of 570 mV at that current.
The 1 Pair Common Cathode configuration is the standard building block for center-tap full-wave rectifiers and diode OR-ing in redundant power supplies.
The maximum operating junction temperature is 200°C. This is a high ceiling for a Schottky diode, allowing aggressive derating or operation in a cramped enclosure without a large heatsink, provided the thermal path from the TO-220 tab to ambient is adequate.
