80 V, 15 A dual Schottky — what it does for the board
The STPS30M80CR is a dual Schottky rectifier from STMicroelectronics, pairing two 80 V, 15 A diodes in a common-cathode configuration inside a single TO-262 (I2PAK) through-hole package. The 80 V reverse voltage rating suits it for 48 V bus rectification, output OR-ing in redundant power supplies, and freewheeling diodes in motor drives or switched-mode converters where fast recovery (under 500 ns) and low Vf matter.
That means no further production runs; the last-time-buy window has closed. If you have this part on a legacy BOM, you are now in the surplus and broker channel for procurement.
Field-swap reality — can I put it in on site?
Through-hole TO-262 with long leads — no hot-air station needed. If you have a soldering iron and a desoldering pump, you can swap this on a bench or even at a customer site with a basic kit. The common-cathode pinout is standard for this package: the two anodes are the outer leads, the cathode is the center tab. Orientation is obvious once you look at the tab. No ESD-sensitive fine-pitch work; just mind the junction temperature limit of 175 °C when you solder — a quick 350 °C iron, three seconds per pin, and you are back in business.
