Key Features
- Aerospace-qualified dual common-cathode Schottky rectifier rated at 2x20A and 45V, designed for harsh-environment high-reliability power systems
- Ultra-low 0.82V maximum forward voltage at 20A per element minimizes conduction losses in space and defense power conversion stages
- 200A non-repetitive peak forward current capability provides robust surge protection in demanding aerospace rectifier and freewheeling diode applications
Applications
The STPS40A45CHY1 is qualified for aerospace and high-reliability applications where dual 20A Schottky rectifiers must withstand harsh vibration, wide temperature extremes, and strict lot-traceability requirements. Its common-cathode dual configuration simplifies full-wave and center-tap rectifier designs in satellite onboard power supplies and defense-grade DC-DC converters operating from 28V bus systems. Engineers also select it for space-flight power conditioning modules where the 0.82V forward voltage and 200A surge rating ensure margin against transient fault conditions without requiring parallel device redundancy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the per-element current rating and forward voltage of STPS40A45CHY1, and how do these benefit aerospace power supplies?
Each of the 2 Schottky elements in STPS40A45CHY1 is rated at 20A continuous forward current with a maximum forward voltage of 0.82V. At 20A, the 0.82V Vf means just 16.4W of conduction loss per element — critical in aerospace power supplies where every watt of thermal dissipation must be managed within a mass-constrained chassis at temperatures up to 150°C junction.
What is the surge current rating of STPS40A45CHY1 and when is this relevant in spacecraft rectifier designs?
STPS40A45CHY1 withstands a non-repetitive peak forward current of 200A, which is 10x the continuous 20A rating. This surge margin is important during spacecraft power bus recovery after a capacitor short-circuit event or load transient, where inrush currents can briefly exceed 100A before the fault is cleared by upstream protection circuitry.
How does the common-cathode configuration of STPS40A45CHY1 simplify a full-wave rectifier circuit in a 28V aerospace bus?
In a common-cathode dual Schottky package, both anode inputs share one cathode terminal. This lets designers build a 2-diode full-wave center-tap rectifier using a single component with only 3 PCB connections versus 2 separate diodes requiring 4 connections. For a 28V aerospace bus with 2 AC transformer secondary taps, this configuration reduces connector count and potential failure points in a flight-critical rectifier stage.
What package does STPS40A45CHY1 use and how does it support the thermal management needs of a satellite power module?
STPS40A45CHY1 comes in a TO-254AA package, which is a 3-lead through-hole vertical package with an electrically isolated mounting tab. The isolated tab allows direct chassis mounting with a thermal interface material to achieve junction-to-case thermal resistance well under 2°C/W, supporting continuous 20A operation at ambient temperatures up to 100°C in a satellite power conditioning module without additional heat-spreading hardware.
