What this dual Schottky brings to the rail
The STPS30L40CG is a Schottky rectifier pair from STMicroelectronics, configured as a common cathode in a single D2PAK package.
STMicroelectronics lists the STPS30L40CG as obsolete.
Hand-solderable D2PAK — a maker-friendly note
The D2PAK (TO-263) is a surface-mount package with a large exposed tab. It is hand-solderable with a decent iron and some flux — pre-tin the pad, reflow the tab with a hot-air station or a big tip, then tack the leads. No tiny pitch to worry about, and the tab doubles as the thermal path, so a good solder joint there matters for keeping junction temperature under the 150°C max.
