Product details
Overview
IDH04SG60CXKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 3rd-generation silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diode rated for 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 4 A continuous forward current at TC < 130 °C, with zero reverse recovery charge and temperature-independent switching behavior. It delivers 4.5 nC total capacitive charge, 2.1–2.8 V forward voltage across 25–150 °C, and is qualified per JEDEC standards for high-efficiency SMPS, solar inverters, and motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the IDH04SG60CXKSA1 datasheet, IDH04SG60CXKSA1 pinout, IDH04SG60CXKSA1 application, or IDH04SG60CXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V VRRM, absence of minority-carrier reverse recovery, 3.5 K/W RthJC, surge capability up to 120 A (10 µs), and PG-TO220-2 package with isolated case.
Technical Context
This SiC Schottky diode operates without minority carrier injection, eliminating reverse recovery time (trr) and associated switching losses. Its capacitive displacement current waveform exhibits a fixed time constant tc < 10 ns, independent of junction temperature, load current, or di/dt - unlike silicon PN diodes.
Designed for hard-switching topologies, it supports CCM PFC stages and DC-link freewheeling in solar string inverters and industrial motor drives. Thermal performance is defined by a low 3.5 K/W junction-to-case resistance and validated surge robustness under 10 ms sine half-wave conditions up to 18 A at 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - maximum blocking voltage in repetitive operation; enables use in 400 V DC bus systems with 50% safety margin |
| IF (cont.) | 4 A at TC < 130 °C - continuous conduction rating defining heatsink sizing for steady-state thermal design |
| VF | 2.1–2.8 V (4 A, 25–150 °C) - forward drop directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise in high-frequency converters |
| QC | 4.5 nC - total capacitive charge governing turn-off energy loss in hard-switched bridge legs |
| RthJC | 3.5 K/W - junction-to-case thermal resistance used to calculate die temperature from measured case temperature |
| tc | <10 ns - fixed capacitive time constant enabling predictable EMI behavior and gate driver stress modeling |
| IF,max | 120 A (10 µs) - non-repetitive surge rating supporting short-circuit protection and inrush handling |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in PG-TO220-2 package with electrically isolated metal tab (case). Pin 1 = Cathode (C), Pin 2 = Anode (A). The isolated case allows direct mounting to heatsink without insulating washer when referenced to system ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (marked "C") | Cathode | High-side connection point; carries full load current during conduction; tied to positive rail in boost/flyback freewheel paths |
| Pin 2 (marked "A") | Anode | Low-side connection; referenced to power ground or negative rail; defines return path for forward current |
| Metal Tab (Case) | Isolated Thermal Path | Electrically isolated (≥2.5 kV AC) metal surface for direct heatsink attachment; no external insulation required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 0) | Eliminates switching loss spikes and di/dt-induced voltage overshoot in synchronous rectifiers and PFC boost diodes |
| Temperature-stable VF and QC | Forward voltage increases only ~0.7 V from 25 °C to 150 °C; enables consistent loss modeling across operating range |
| High dv/dt ruggedness (50 V/ns) | Withstands rapid voltage transients in SiC MOSFET-based half-bridges without false turn-on or avalanche breakdown |
| JEDEC-qualified reliability | Validated per J-STD-20 and JESD22 for solderability, mechanical shock, and temperature cycling in industrial environments |
| RoHS-compliant Pb-free plating | Meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; compatible with lead-free reflow and wave soldering processes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SiC Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D04060E (Wolfspeed) | Same 600 V / 4 A rating; 3.3 nC QC; 2.0–2.7 V VF; TO-220AC package with non-isolated tab | Requires insulated mounting hardware due to conductive tab; lower QC suits ultra-high-frequency PFC | Select when lowest possible switching loss is prioritized and thermal interface permits isolation layer |
| STPSC406D (STMicroelectronics) | 600 V / 4 A; 5.2 nC QC; 2.2–2.9 V VF; TO-220AC with isolated tab; higher RthJC (4.0 K/W) | Higher conduction loss at 150 °C; less dv/dt ruggedness (30 V/ns); suitable for cost-sensitive industrial UPS | Select when supply chain diversification is needed and thermal margin allows higher RthJC |
Compared with C3D04060E and STPSC406D, IDH04SG60CXKSA1 offers balanced trade-offs: superior dv/dt immunity (50 V/ns), JEDEC qualification for harsh environments, and isolated tab simplifying thermal design - making it optimal for motor drives and solar where reliability and ease of heatsinking are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The datasheet specifies continuous forward current IF = 4 A is rated for case temperatures below 130 °C. Exceeding this limit reduces current capability linearly; at 150 °C case, max continuous current drops to 3.2 A. Derating must follow the IF vs. TC curve on page 3 of Rev. 2.4, with absolute maximum junction temperature capped at 175 °C.
Does IDH04SG60CXKSA1 require a gate resistor or snubber network?
No gate resistor is needed - this is a passive diode, not a controlled device. However, a small RC snubber (e.g., 100 Ω + 100 pF) across anode–cathode is recommended in high-di/dt hard-switching applications to damp ringing caused by stray inductance interacting with its 10 pF capacitance at 600 V bias, per layout guidelines in Infineon Application Note AN2015-09.
Can IDH04SG60CXKSA1 replace a silicon fast recovery diode in an existing design?
Yes - it is a direct drop-in replacement in PG-TO220-2 footprint with identical pinout (C-A), but requires verification of reduced switching loss impact on gate drivers and EMI filters. Due to zero Qrr, voltage overshoot decreases significantly, often allowing reduction or removal of existing snubbers and lowering MOSFET VDS stress.
Is the metal tab electrically isolated, and what is its isolation rating?
Yes, the metal tab is fully electrically isolated from both anode and cathode terminals. Per Infineon's PG-TO220-2 specification, it withstands ≥2.5 kV AC for 1 minute (per IEC 60747-5-2), enabling direct heatsink mounting without mica washers or silicone pads in grounded-chassis designs.
