Product details
Overview
IDH08G65C5XKSA2 from Infineon is a 650 V, 8 A silicon carbide Schottky diode in TO-220-2 package, featuring zero reverse recovery charge, 13 nC capacitive charge at 400 V, 1.5–1.7 V forward voltage at 8 A/25°C, and rated for continuous operation up to 145°C junction temperature - deployed in high-efficiency PFC stages of industrial SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the IDH08G65C5XKSA2 datasheet, IDH08G65C5XKSA2 pinout, IDH08G65C5XKSA2 application, or IDH08G65C5XKSA2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SiC-based zero-Qrr behavior, thermal resistance (RthJC = 1.2–2.0 K/W), surge current capability (68 A @ 10 ms, TC = 25°C), and compatibility with 650 V CoolMOS™ half-bridge topologies.
Technical Context
This 5th-generation thinQ!™ SiC Schottky diode uses Infineon's diffusion-soldered thin-wafer construction to achieve lower Qc × Vf figure-of-merit and improved thermal performance versus prior generations. Its unipolar conduction eliminates minority-carrier storage, enabling true zero reverse recovery and temperature-independent switching.
The device is characterized for avalanche robustness (10 ms test), qualified per JEDEC standards for power applications, and specified with guaranteed breakdown voltage (650 V at 18 mA) and dv/dt ruggedness up to 100 V/ns under dynamic blocking conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 650 V - maximum repetitive reverse voltage; enables use in 400 V AC input PFC and 600 V DC bus systems without derating |
| IF (cont) | 8 A @ TC < 145°C - continuous forward current rating defines usable conduction capacity in thermally constrained layouts |
| VF | 1.5–1.7 V @ 8 A, 25°C - low forward drop reduces conduction losses and improves system efficiency vs. Si counterparts |
| Qc | 13 nC @ VR = 400 V - capacitive charge directly impacts turn-off loss in hard-switched converters |
| RthJC | 1.2–2.0 K/W - junction-to-case thermal resistance determines heatsink sizing and thermal margin in TO-220 mounting |
| IR | 0.4–140 µA @ VR = 650 V, 25°C - leakage current remains stable across temperature, supporting reliable high-voltage hold-off |
| dv/dt | 100 V/ns - high dynamic voltage slew rate immunity prevents spurious turn-on in fast-switching bridge legs |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO220-2 (2-pin variant, isolated tab). Pin 1 = Cathode (C), Pin 2 = Anode (A); Pin 3 marked "n.a." indicates non-applicable terminal - no third electrical connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Cathode | Main current exit path; electrically connected to metal tab - requires insulated mounting when tab is not grounded |
| Pin 2 | Anode | Main current entry path; sole signal-level terminal - used for PCB trace routing and gate driver referencing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero reverse recovery (Qrr = 0) | Eliminates switching loss and EMI associated with minority-carrier tail current in Si diodes |
| Temperature-stable VF | Forward voltage increases only ~0.3 V from 25°C to 150°C - enables predictable loss modeling across operating range |
| High surge current rating | 68 A non-repetitive peak @ 10 ms, 25°C - withstands inrush and fault currents in UPS and solar inverters |
| RoHS-compliant Pb-free plating | Meets global environmental compliance without compromising solder joint reliability or thermal interface performance |
| Optimized for high-temp operation | Rated for continuous use at TC ≤ 145°C - supports compact, fanless designs in industrial enclosures |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SiC Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D08065E (Wolfspeed) | Same 650 V/8 A rating; VF = 1.8 V typ. @ 8 A, 25°C; Qc = 15 nC @ 400 V | Higher VF increases conduction loss in high-duty-cycle PFC; identical thermal footprint | Prefer IDH08G65C5XKSA2 where VF-limited efficiency dominates over Qc-sensitive turn-off loss |
| STPSC806D (STMicroelectronics) | 650 V/8 A; VF = 1.7 V typ.; Qc = 12 nC; RthJC = 1.5 K/W; JEDEC qualification not explicitly stated | Lacks documented avalanche testing and JEDEC qualification for industrial-grade reliability assurance | Select IDH08G65C5XKSA2 for mission-critical UPS or solar applications requiring certified ruggedness |
Compared with C3D08065E and STPSC806D, IDH08G65C5XKSA2 delivers the lowest VF in its class and full JEDEC qualification - making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-reliability PFC and inverter designs where conduction loss and long-term stability are prioritized.

FAQ
Is IDH08G65C5XKSA2 pin-compatible with standard TO-220AC packages?
Yes - IDH08G65C5XKSA2 uses the PG-TO220-2 outline, which matches mechanical dimensions and mounting hole positions of industry-standard TO-220AC. The isolated metal tab functions as cathode, and no third pin is present, distinguishing it from 3-pin TO-220 variants.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The datasheet specifies IF = 8 A is rated for TC < 145°C. Operation above this temperature reduces current capability linearly per the derating curve in Figure 1; sustained case temperatures beyond 145°C risk exceeding the 175°C maximum junction temperature even with ideal heatsinking.
Does IDH08G65C5XKSA2 require a gate resistor or snubber network?
No - as a Schottky diode, it has no gate terminal and requires no gate resistor. However, a small RC snubber (e.g., 100 Ω + 100 pF) across anode-cathode is recommended in high-di/dt applications (>100 A/µs) to damp ringing caused by stray inductance interacting with its 250–32 pF capacitance.
How is avalanche ruggedness validated for this diode?
Avalanche testing was performed per final datasheet Rev. 2.2: all units underwent 10 ms single-pulse avalanche stress at rated VRRM with controlled energy, confirming no parametric shift or catastrophic failure. This qualifies the device for unclamped inductive switching (UIS) events in real-world PFC and inverter faults.
