40 V, 3 A Schottky in a low-profile SMA Flat Leads package
The STPS3L40UFN is a Schottky rectifier diode from STMicroelectronics, rated for 40 V DC reverse voltage and 3 A average rectified current. It is housed in the DO-221AC (SMA Flat Leads) package with a SMAflat Notch supplier device package, designed for surface-mount assembly where board height is constrained. The forward voltage drop is specified at 500 mV at 3 A, which keeps conduction losses manageable in low-voltage power rails. The part carries ECOPACK2 compliance for RoHS and environmental requirements.
Obsolete — planning for replacement
The STPS3L40UFN is listed as obsolete. For new designs or BOM sustainment, a form-fit-function replacement in the same SMA Flat Leads footprint and 40 V, 3 A rating class will need to be qualified. The independent distribution channel can still supply this part against an RFQ, but the window for factory-origin stock is closed.
Reverse leakage and junction temperature limits
Reverse leakage current is specified at 100 mA at the rated 40 V reverse voltage — a figure that reflects the Schottky's higher leakage versus a PN-junction diode, important to budget in standby or high-temperature operation. The maximum junction temperature is 150 °C, which sets the thermal derating line for the 3 A forward current in the end system.
