Product details
Overview
IDH08SG60CXKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 3rd-generation thinQ!™ silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diode rated for 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 8 A continuous forward current at TC < 130 °C. It delivers zero reverse recovery charge (QC = 12 nC), <10 ns switching time, and operates reliably up to 175 °C junction temperature-enabling high-efficiency PFC stages in CCM-mode SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the IDH08SG60CXKSA1 datasheet, IDH08SG60CXKSA1 pinout, IDH08SG60CXKSA1 application, or IDH08SG60CXKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SiC-based zero-recovery behavior, thermal resistance (RthJC = 1.5 K/W), surge capability (IF,max = 350 A), low forward voltage (VF = 1.8–2.2 V), and TO-220-2 package compatibility with industrial heatsinking.
Technical Context
This SiC Schottky diode eliminates minority-carrier injection, resulting in no reverse recovery time (trr) or associated switching losses. Its capacitive displacement current waveform defines tc < 10 ns-fully independent of junction temperature, load current, or di/dt.
Designed for hard-switching topologies, it sustains 600 V DC blocking with only 0.6 µA typical reverse leakage at 25 °C and 2.5 µA at 150 °C, while maintaining stable QC = 12 nC across di/dt up to 1000 A/µs-critical for high-frequency PFC and solar inverter boost stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - supports 400 V AC input rectification with 50% safety margin in industrial PFC designs |
| IF (cont.) | 8 A @ TC < 130 °C - enables compact heatsink sizing in forced-air-cooled 1–2 kW converters |
| VF | 1.8–2.2 V @ 8 A - reduces conduction loss vs. Si diodes by ~40% at 150 °C junction temperature |
| QC | 12 nC - eliminates reverse recovery energy loss, enabling >100 kHz operation without snubbers |
| RthJC | 1.5 K/W - allows direct mounting to heatsink with predictable thermal drop under full-load conditions |
| tc | <10 ns - defines fast capacitive turn-off edge, minimizing EMI generation in high-dv/dt circuits |
| IF,max | 350 A @ 10 µs - withstands line surges and inrush currents in UPS and motor drive front-ends |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO220-2 (standard through-hole, isolated tab, M3/M3.5 screw-mount compatible). Thermal pad is electrically connected to cathode (Pin 1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Tab) | Cathode | Electrically active thermal interface; must be insulated from heatsink unless system ground reference permits |
| Pin 2 | Anode | Low-inductance connection point for high-di/dt return path; requires short PCB trace routing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No reverse recovery | Eliminates trr-related switching loss and EMI, enabling clean hard-switched PFC operation |
| Temperature-stable VF | VF increases only ~0.4 V from 25 °C to 150 °C-ensures consistent conduction loss across thermal range |
| High dv/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns rating prevents false triggering in noisy high-side switch nodes |
| JEDEC-qualified reliability | Qualified per J-STD-20/JESD22 for automotive-adjacent industrial applications with extended lifetime at 175 °C |
| Low QC/IF FoM | 1.5 nC/A figure of merit-among lowest for 600 V SiC diodes, optimizing high-frequency efficiency |
Applications
| CCM PFC Boost Stage | Solar Inverter DC-Link Clamp |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SiC Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D08060A | Same 600 V/8 A rating; higher RthJC = 2.0 K/W; QC = 13.5 nC | Slightly lower surge rating (300 A); optimized for lower-cost TO-220AC package | Prefer when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal performance; verify heatsink interface for higher RthJC |
| SS10P6 | Si-based ultrafast diode; VF ≈ 2.8 V @ 8 A; trr ≈ 35 ns; RthJC = 2.5 K/W | Higher conduction + recovery loss; limited to ≤85 °C ambient; unsuitable for >60 kHz | Only acceptable for legacy redesigns where SiC qualification is not feasible; expect 3–5% efficiency penalty |
Compared with C3D08060A and SS10P6, IDH08SG60CXKSA1 offers superior thermal performance (1.5 K/W), lowest QC, and guaranteed 175 °C operation-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-efficiency, high-temperature industrial converters where reliability and efficiency are prioritized over unit cost.

FAQ
Is IDH08SG60CXKSA1 pin-compatible with standard TO-220 rectifiers?
Yes-it uses the PG-TO220-2 outline with Pin 1 (cathode/tab) and Pin 2 (anode), matching mechanical footprint and mounting hole positions of legacy Si TO-220 diodes. However, its cathode-isolated tab requires electrical isolation unless system grounding permits direct heatsink contact.
What is the maximum recommended case temperature for continuous operation?
The datasheet specifies continuous forward current derating begins at TC = 130 °C, with absolute maximum operating junction temperature of 175 °C. For reliable 8 A continuous operation, maintain TC ≤ 125 °C using appropriate heatsinking and airflow per the thermal curves on page 3 of Rev. 2.4.
Does this diode require a gate driver or external control circuitry?
No-IDH08SG60CXKSA1 is a passive two-terminal device with no gate or control pins. It functions as a unidirectional conductor with inherent zero-recovery behavior; no driver, biasing, or timing circuitry is needed beyond standard rectifier layout practices.
Can IDH08SG60CXKSA1 replace silicon diodes in existing designs without layout changes?
Yes, for most TO-220-based rectifier positions-but verify thermal interface design (isolation requirements), PCB trace inductance (due to faster switching), and snubber removal (no trr means reduced need for RC networks). Efficiency gains and cooler operation are immediate; no firmware or control loop changes are required.
