STB40100CTR

The STB40100CTR is a member of the rectifier diode family, designed to provide stable, robust solutions for a variety of applications. Suitable for DC, AC and transients up to 100 V, the STB40100CTR is manufactured in a standard 0.2” four-terminal form factor and is available with a wide range of other specialized features including hermetic sealing, ESD protection and a power shutoff. This rectifier diode array offers high efficiency, great performance and an extended operating temperature range, making it the ideal solution for a variety of applications.

The STB40100CTR is a four-terminal array, which allows for two distinct positive and two distinct negative connections to be made when connecting the array to a circuit. This unique arrangement offers maximum versatility for applications that require high voltage and current, as the connections can be configured to only use 2 or 4 pins, depending on the application. This flexibility can be especially useful for applications where the connections must be grouped, or configurations where the voltage is not uniform. This makes the STB40100CTR perfect for applications such as AC/DC converters, DC/DC power supplies, DC motor control and general power delivery.

The STB40100CTR features an integrated heat sink which helps to dissipate heat, allowing the array to handle high power-handling applications in an efficient manner while still utilizing thermally sensitive components. It also has a low thermal resistance, which helps increase the overall thermal performance of the array and extend its life. In addition, its ESD protection feature ensures that the array remains safe and reliable even when exposed to electrostatic discharges. The STB40100CTR also has low forward voltage drop, making it suitable for applications that require high current and efficiency.

As with all diode rectifier arrays, the STB40100CTR uses a power conversion process to convert AC voltage into DC voltage. When an AC source is applied to the STB40100CTR, a bridge rectifier inside the array converts the alternating current into direct current. This process is known as rectification, and the current produced is referred to as “rectified” current. The rectified current is then filtered using capacitors, before being passed to the load or converted into another voltage.

The STB40100CTR is a cost-effective, reliable and efficient diode rectifier array that offers a wide range of applications in power delivery and DC motor control. With its integrated heat sink and low thermal resistance rating, the STB40100CTR is the perfect solution for applications that require high current, efficiency and long-term reliability.
