Product details
Overview
300UR120A G BK G from Infineon Technologies (formerly International Rectifier) is a stud-mount standard recovery power diode with 1200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 250 A average forward current (IF(AV)) at 145 °C case temperature, and 6550 A non-repetitive surge current (IFSM) at 50 Hz. It features a diffused junction, DO-205AB (DO-9) glass-metal sealed package, and stud-anode polarity for high-power converter and traction applications.
For engineers reviewing the 300UR120A G BK G datasheet, 300UR120A G BK G pinout, 300UR120A G BK G application, or 300UR120A G BK G equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.18 K/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, 1.30 V forward voltage drop at 785 A peak, 214 kA²s I²t rating at 10 ms, and compatibility with forced-air or liquid-cooled heatsinks in medium-voltage industrial drives.
Technical Context
This diode operates as a unidirectional, line-frequency rectifier in high-current AC/DC conversion stages. Its diffused PN junction enables robust surge handling up to 6850 A at 60 Hz and stable conduction across -40 °C to +200 °C junction temperature range, with thermal resistance degradation quantified per conduction angle (e.g., +0.020 K/W at 180°, +0.077 K/W at 30°).
The device uses a glass-metal sealed DO-205AB (DO-9) case with 3/4"-16UNF-2A stud anode terminal and flat base mounting. Mechanical specifications include 37 N·m maximum torque (non-lubricated threads), 250 g mass, and 0.08 K/W case-to-heatsink thermal resistance under greased, smooth interface conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; defines DC bus isolation capability in 600–800 VAC input systems. |
| IF(AV) | 250 A @ TC = 145 °C - Sustained DC or half-sine conduction limit; requires heatsink design supporting ≤145 °C case temp. |
| IFSM | 6550 A @ t = 10 ms, 50 Hz - Short-circuit withstand level; determines fuse coordination and protection circuit timing. |
| RthJC | 0.18 K/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance under DC operation; sets minimum heatsink thermal resistance for safe TJ ≤ 200 °C. |
| VFM | 1.30 V @ Ipk = 785 A, TJ = 25 °C - Forward drop at rated surge; directly impacts conduction loss and thermal design margin. |
| I²t | 214 kA²s @ t = 10 ms, no voltage reapplied - Fusing energy threshold; used for coordination with fast-acting overcurrent protection. |
| TJ Range | -40 to +200 °C - Operational junction temperature window; supports use in harsh environments without derating below -40 °C. |
Pinout & Package
300UR120A G BK G uses the DO-205AB (DO-9) glass-metal sealed stud package with a single anode stud terminal (3/4"-16UNF-2A thread) and insulated cathode base plate. Mounting requires flat, smooth, greased surface contact for specified RthCS = 0.08 K/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode Stud | Forward current entry point | Mechanically integrated high-current terminal; must be electrically connected to positive AC/DC rail and thermally coupled to heatsink. |
| Cathode Base Plate | Forward current exit path | Insulated metal surface serving as cathode connection and primary heat transfer interface to heatsink. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Diffused junction technology | Enables uniform carrier distribution and high surge current tolerance (6850 A at 60 Hz) without localized hot-spot formation. |
| Stud-anode polarity (R suffix) | Places anode on threaded stud for direct high-side connection in bridge configurations, simplifying busbar routing and reducing parasitic inductance. |
| RoHS-compliant construction | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU; eliminates lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE in all materials and plating. |
| Wide operating temperature range | Rated for continuous operation from -40 °C to +200 °C junction temperature, enabling deployment in oil-filled transformers and traction motor controllers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar standard recovery diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS MDD300-12N1 | 1200 V VRRM, 300 A IF(AV), 0.15 K/W RthJC, TO-247AC package with isolated tab. | Higher current rating and lower thermal resistance, but requires PCB mount and separate heatsink interface. | Select when higher IF(AV) headroom and lower thermal impedance are prioritized over stud-mount mechanical integration. |
| Vishay VS-300UR12PBF | 1200 V VRRM, 250 A IF(AV), 0.19 K/W RthJC, identical DO-205AB stud-anode package and RoHS compliance. | Nearly identical electrical and mechanical specs; minor VFM variation (1.32 V vs. 1.30 V) and different torque spec (35 N·m). | Drop-in alternative where Infineon sourcing is constrained; verify torque and thermal interface grease compatibility per application environment. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation of the 300UR120A G BK G?
The 300UR120A G BK G supports a maximum average forward current of 250 A at a case temperature (TC) of 145 °C, as defined in its major ratings table. Operation above this temperature requires proportional current derating per the conduction-angle derating curves in Bulletin I2031. Exceeding 145 °C case temperature without adjustment risks exceeding the 200 °C maximum junction temperature and premature failure.
Does the 300UR120A G BK G have a specified forward voltage drop at rated current?
Yes-the 300UR120A G BK G specifies a maximum forward voltage drop (VFM) of 1.30 V at 785 A peak forward current, 25 °C junction temperature, and 10 ms sinusoidal pulse duration. This value is measured under controlled transient conditions and serves as a key parameter for conduction loss calculation in thermal modeling of the 300UR120A G BK G.
What does the "R" in the 300UR120A G BK G part number indicate?
The "R" in 300UR120A G BK G denotes stud-reverse polarity: the anode is connected to the threaded stud, while the cathode is isolated on the base plate. This configuration enables direct high-side connection in bridge rectifiers and simplifies high-current busbar integration-distinct from standard "U" versions where the cathode is on the stud.
Is the 300UR120A G BK G compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes-the 300UR120A G BK G is explicitly marked RoHS compliant in Bulletin I2031 rev. B, confirming full adherence to Directive 2011/65/EU. It contains no lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE, and its materials declaration meets REACH SVHC screening requirements per Infineon's published compliance documentation.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case (RthJC) for the 300UR120A G BK G under DC operation?
The 300UR120A G BK G has a maximum junction-to-case thermal resistance (RthJC) of 0.18 K/W under DC conduction, as stated in the Thermal and Mechanical Specifications section of Bulletin I2031. This value assumes proper mounting torque (37 N·m, non-lubricated) and a greased, flat, smooth heatsink interface per the datasheet's RthCS specification.
