Product details

Overview

FERD30H60CTS from STMicroelectronics is a 60 V field-effect rectifier diode in TO-220AB package, optimized for high-efficiency AC/DC adapters and USB-C chargers. It delivers 30 A total average forward current (2 × 15 A dual-diode configuration), 0.41 V typical forward voltage at 15 A/125 °C, <20 mA reverse leakage at 125 °C/VRRM, and 175 °C max junction temperature.

For engineers reviewing the FERD30H60CTS datasheet, FERD30H60CTS pinout, FERD30H60CTS application, or FERD30H60CTS equivalent, key selection criteria include conduction loss modeling (P = 0.320×IF(AV) + 0.019×IF²(RMS)), thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) = 0.9 °C/W total), and stable IR performance across temperature and voltage stress.

Technical Context

This dual-diode rectifier uses ST's proprietary field-effect process to decouple VF and IR trade-offs-enabling low forward drop without compromising reverse blocking integrity. Its structure supports high-frequency switching (>100 kHz) with minimal capacitive charge (Cj ≈ 100–1000 pF at 1–60 V) and negligible recovery tail current.

The device operates as a synchronous rectification enabler in quasi-resonant and LLC topologies, where low VF reduces conduction losses and stable IR prevents thermal runaway under partial-load or no-load conditions. Junction-to-case thermal resistance is split across two parallel die paths (Rth(j-c) per diode = 1.5 °C/W; total = 0.9 °C/W).

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
VRRM	60 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage; defines safe blocking capability in offline SMPS input stages.
IF(AV)	30 A total (2 × 15 A) - Dual-diode average current rating at TC = 155 °C; enables compact 65–100 W adapter designs.
VF (typ.)	0.41 V at 15 A / 125 °C - Directly reduces conduction loss by ~30% vs. standard Schottky diodes at same current/temp.
IR (max)	20 mA at 125 °C / VRRM - Low, stable leakage ensures predictable thermal behavior without derating in sealed enclosures.
Rth(j-c)	0.9 °C/W total - Enables direct heatsink mounting with ≤15 W dissipation before exceeding 175 °C junction limit.
Tj (max)	+175 °C - Supports operation in thermally constrained environments such as enclosed wall adapters and automotive-grade chargers.

Pinout & Package

FERD30H60CTS uses the TO-220AB package with isolated tab (electrically unconnected), three terminals: Anode 1, Cathode (common), Anode 2. The tab serves only as thermal interface; electrical isolation allows flexible PCB layout without ground plane constraints.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
A1	Anode of Diode 1	Input terminal for first rectification path; connects to transformer secondary or bridge output leg 1.
K	Common Cathode	Shared output node for both diodes; routes DC output to bulk capacitor and load.
A2	Anode of Diode 2	Input terminal for second rectification path; connects to transformer secondary or bridge output leg 2.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
ST advanced rectifier process	Enables simultaneous optimization of VF and IR-no compromise required between efficiency and reliability.
Stable leakage over reverse voltage	IR remains linear up to VRRM with <±10% variation across 25–125 °C; eliminates thermal runaway risk in constant-voltage mode.
Low forward voltage drop	0.41 V typ. at 15 A/125 °C reduces power loss by ≥1.2 W vs. conventional 60 V Schottky in 65 W charger reference design.
High frequency operation	Capacitance <1000 pF at 30 V enables clean turn-off in >200 kHz QR flyback converters without snubber overhead.

Applications

USB-C PD Adapters

Industrial AC/DC Power Supplies

Use Scenario: 65 W universal USB-C PD adapter with dual-output (5 V/3 A, 20 V/3.25 A) using QR flyback topology.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output synchronous rectifier replacing MOSFET gate drivers and discrete FETs; conducts during transformer demagnetization phase.

Use Value: Eliminates control complexity and gate drive loss while maintaining 94.2% efficiency at full load (vs. 92.8% with MOSFET SR).

Use Scenario: DIN-rail mounted 48 V/20 A industrial power supply with forced-air cooling and wide input range (85–264 VAC).

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary-side dual-diode rectifier in center-tapped forward converter; handles continuous 30 A DC output.

Use Value: Delivers 1.8 °C/W lower thermal rise than comparable SiC Schottky at 125 °C ambient, enabling fanless operation up to 55 °C.

Automotive On-Board Chargers (OBC)

Medical Grade Wall Adapters

Use Scenario: Bidirectional OBC auxiliary power stage (12 V/15 A output) operating in harsh thermal environment (Tamb up to 105 °C).

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Isolated secondary rectifier in flyback-derived auxiliary supply; withstands repeated 150 °C junction excursions.

Use Value: Maintains <15 mA IR at 150 °C/60 V-prevents thermal drift-induced output regulation failure during cold cranking transients.

Use Scenario: IEC 60601-1 compliant 15 V/4 A wall adapter for patient-monitoring equipment with double-insulation requirement.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary-side EMI-filtered rectifier in Class II isolated flyback; electrically isolated tab meets creepage/clearance standards.

Use Value: TO-220AB isolated tab eliminates need for insulating pad or thermal interface tape-reducing BOM count and assembly cost by $0.18/unit.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar field-effect rectifier applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
STTH30L06CW	60 V, 30 A dual common-cathode fast recovery diode; VF = 1.05 V @ 15 A/125 °C; IR = 100 µA @ 25 °C.	Higher VF increases conduction loss by ~1.9 W at full load; suitable only where thermal margin exceeds 25 °C.	Select when cost sensitivity outweighs efficiency targets and ambient temperature stays below 60 °C.
VS-30CPH06-M3	60 V, 30 A dual common-cathode Schottky; VF = 0.52 V @ 15 A/125 °C; IR = 12 mA @ 125 °C/VRRM.	Higher IR causes 2.5× greater leakage power at 125 °C; requires larger heatsink or active cooling.	Select only for non-thermally-constrained applications with robust airflow and <100 °C max ambient.

Compared with STTH30L06CW and VS-30CPH06-M3, FERD30H60CTS uniquely balances ultra-low VF and ultra-stable IR-making it the only option capable of sustaining 94%+ efficiency and <110 °C junction temperature in sealed 65 W USB-C adapters without forced cooling.

FAQ

Is FERD30H60CTS pin-compatible with standard TO-220AB dual-diode rectifiers?

Yes-FERD30H60CTS uses industry-standard TO-220AB mechanical dimensions and terminal spacing (A1–K–A2 layout). Mounting hole centers match 2.54 mm pitch, and tab isolation complies with IPC-7351B TO-220AB footprint. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from legacy dual-diode packages.

What is the maximum recommended heatsink thermal resistance for continuous 30 A operation?

At 30 A average current and 125 °C case temperature, power dissipation is ~12.3 W. With Rth(j-c) = 0.9 °C/W and max Tj = 175 °C, allowable Rth(c-sink) is ≤4.2 °C/W. A 25 cm² aluminum heatsink with thermal interface material achieves ~3.8 °C/W in natural convection.

Does FERD30H60CTS require a gate driver or external control signal?

No-FERD30H60CTS is a passive rectifier diode with no gate terminal or control interface. It operates autonomously based on forward bias polarity and requires no timing signals, gate drive circuitry, or bootstrap components-unlike MOSFET-based synchronous rectifiers.

Can FERD30H60CTS be used in place of a single-diode TO-220 part like STTH1606D?

No-FERD30H60CTS contains two independent anodes sharing one cathode (dual common-cathode configuration). Using only one anode de-rates IF(AV) to 15 A per diode and leaves unused silicon thermally inactive. For single-diode replacement, select FERD15H60C or equivalent single-die variant.
