Product details
Overview
DTH8L06D from Diodes Incorporated is an 8A, 600V hyper-fast epitaxial rectifier diode in TO220AC package, featuring 1.3V max forward voltage at 8A/25°C, 70ns reverse recovery time, and 8μA max reverse leakage at 600V/25°C. It serves as a primary output rectifier or freewheeling diode in high-frequency SMPS topologies operating in discontinuous or critical conduction mode.
For engineers reviewing the DTH8L06D datasheet, DTH8L06D pinout, DTH8L06D application, or DTH8L06D equivalent, key selection criteria include its soft-switching behavior, low thermal resistance (5°C/W junction-to-case), RoHS- and halogen-free "Green" construction, and suitability for compact, high-efficiency AC/DC adapters and LED drivers requiring fast recovery with minimal switching loss.
Technical Context
This hyper-fast rectifier employs epitaxial planar construction with glass passivation to achieve controlled minority-carrier lifetime, enabling soft reverse recovery with 70ns tRR under IF = 0.5A / IR = 1.0A conditions. Its 600V VRRM rating supports universal-input offline SMPS designs up to 265VAC.
The device's low RθJC of 5°C/W and tab-connected cathode configuration allow direct mounting to heatsinks for sustained 8A average current handling. Thermal performance is validated per JESD-51, with operation specified from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Supports 265VAC input rectification with margin for line surges and ringing. |
| IO | 8 A - Sustained average forward current at TC = 100°C, enabling compact 65–100W power supplies. |
| VF | 1.30 V max @ 8A, 25°C - Minimizes conduction loss; typical 0.94V at 125°C improves efficiency at elevated temperatures. |
| tRR | 70 ns - Enables operation in >100 kHz SMPS without excessive switching loss or EMI from hard recovery. |
| IR | 8 μA max @ 600V, 25°C - Ensures low standby power in no-load and light-load conditions. |
| RθJC | 5 °C/W - Allows effective thermal management using standard TO220 heatsinks for continuous 8A operation. |
| IFSM | 120 A @ 8.3 ms - Withstands inrush and transient overcurrents common during cold-start or short-circuit events. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO220AC (Type WX), molded plastic with UL 94V-0 rating; matte tin-plated leads; cathode-connected metal tab.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 1) | Input terminal for forward current flow | Connected to transformer secondary or switch node; requires PCB trace width sufficient for 8A RMS. |
| Cathode (Lead 2) | Output terminal for forward current flow | Electrically tied to metal tab; must be isolated from chassis unless circuit ground reference permits. |
| Tab (Cathode) | Main current return path & thermal interface | Provides low-inductance cathode connection and primary heat dissipation path to heatsink. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Soft, hyper-fast switching | 70 ns tRR with controlled tail current minimizes voltage overshoot and EMI in flyback/freewheeling paths. |
| Glass passivated die | Enhances long-term reliability under humidity and thermal cycling stress in industrial and consumer environments. |
| Critical conduction mode (CRM) optimized | Low stored charge and soft recovery enable stable operation in PFC boost stages without oscillation or noise. |
| RoHS- and halogen-free "Green" construction | Meets IEC 61249-2-21:2017; <900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - compliant for global eco-regulations. |
Applications
| LED Driver Power Supply | USB-C PD Adapter |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in quasi-resonant flyback LED drivers for commercial lighting. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output rectifier delivering regulated DC to constant-current LED string.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode in active-clamp forward or synchronous rectifier assist path. Use Value: Soft recovery prevents voltage spikes across GaN FETs; TO220AC tab enables direct heatsinking in space-constrained layouts. |
| Home Appliance SMPS | Telecom Wall Adapter |
Use Scenario: Main output rectifier in 36–48V/5A SMPS for washing machine control boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability rectifier handling repetitive surge currents during motor startup. Use Value: 120A IFSM withstands 10× rated current surges; –55°C to +150°C rating ensures operation in enclosed, thermally stressed enclosures. | Use Scenario: Isolated DC output rectification in 56V/1.5A telecom wall adapters meeting Level VI efficiency.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage, hyper-fast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH8R06DJF | Same 600V/8A rating; 65 ns tRR, 1.25V VF max; TO220AC package with isolated tab. | Isolated tab simplifies heatsink mounting but adds 0.5Ω thermal resistance vs. cathode-connected tab. | Select when electrical isolation between cathode and heatsink is required; verify layout clearance for isolated tab. |
| ON Semiconductor MUR860E | 600V/8A; 75 ns tRR, 1.35V VF max; TO220AC, cathode-tab connected. | Slightly slower recovery and higher VF increase conduction loss by ~3% at 8A. | Acceptable where 5–10W efficiency margin exists; confirm thermal design accommodates higher VF-related loss. |
Compared with STTH8R06DJF and MUR860E, DTH8L06D offers the lowest combined conduction–switching loss profile due to its 1.3V VF ceiling and 70ns tRR, while its cathode-connected tab delivers superior thermal performance for high-duty-cycle applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature and thermal resistance of DTH8L06D?
The DTH8L06D has a maximum junction temperature of +150°C and a typical junction-to-case thermal resistance (RθJC) of 5°C/W, measured at the top center of the package body per JESD-51 standards. This value enables reliable 8A continuous operation when mounted on a properly sized heatsink with thermal interface material.
Is DTH8L06D suitable for automotive applications?
DTH8L06D is not AEC-Q101 qualified and is not intended for automotive safety-critical systems. While it operates from –55°C to +150°C, Diodes recommends contacting their automotive team for parts qualified to AEC-Q101 with PPAP capability and manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities.
How does the cathode-connected tab affect PCB layout and thermal design?
The metal tab is electrically connected to the cathode, requiring insulation from grounded heatsinks unless the cathode node is at system ground potential. This configuration provides the lowest possible thermal path (5°C/W) but mandates careful creepage/clearance verification-especially in high-voltage applications-to avoid unintended conduction paths.
What test conditions define the 70ns reverse recovery time?
The 70ns tRR is measured under standardized conditions: IF = 0.5A, IR = 1.0A, and IRR = 0.25A, using a 300μs pulse width and 2% duty cycle. These conditions reflect real-world switching behavior in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) flyback converters, where soft recovery minimizes voltage ringing and EMI.
