Product details

Dual Schottky in a through-hole tabbed package

It comes in the I2PAK through-hole package (TO-262AA), which gives you a metal tab for bolting to a heatsink and longer leads than a standard TO-220 — useful when you need extra creepage distance on a high-voltage rail. The forward drop is specified at 880 mV maximum when each diode is carrying 15 A, so conduction losses are predictable in a 30 A total-output design.

120 V blocking and 15 A per leg — sizing the rectifier stage

The 120 V reverse voltage rating sets the maximum DC bus voltage this Schottky can block. In a typical 48 V or 60 V output power supply, you get healthy derating margin. The 15 A per-diode average rating means the pair can handle a combined 30 A in a center-tapped or full-wave configuration, but the thermal limit in the I2PAK will be the real constraint — the junction is rated for 150°C maximum, so you need to size the heatsink for the sum of the forward losses at your operating current. At 15 A per diode the 880 mV Vf produces about 13.2 W per die, which is a lot of heat to pull through a through-hole tab.

Schottky switching — no stored charge to manage

This is a Schottky diode, so reverse recovery is negligible — the <500 ns speed classification is really a formality; a Schottky's majority-carrier action means it turns off with almost no stored charge. The 200 µA reverse leakage at 120 V is typical for a 120 V Schottky at temperature; expect it to rise significantly at the 150°C junction limit, so derate the blocking voltage if the heatsink runs hot.

Active status — no LTB pressure

If you are qualifying this for a new design, you can expect standard lead times and no forced redesign horizon from obsolescence.

Frequently asked questions

What is the STPS30L120CR replacement if it becomes obsolete?

No official successor has been announced, and the part is currently active. If ST were to issue an EOL notice in the future, a pin-compatible Schottky in the same I2PAK package with matching 120 V / 15 A ratings would be the natural substitute. For now, there is no replacement needed.

What does the 880 mV forward drop at 15 A mean for my thermal design?

At 15 A per diode, each die dissipates about 13.2 W. With two diodes in the package, the total conduction loss can reach 26.4 W if both legs are conducting simultaneously. The I2PAK tab must be bolted to a heatsink sized for that dissipation, and the 150°C junction limit sets the maximum case temperature you can allow.
