Product details
Overview
IDH08SG60CXKSA2 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, with zero reverse recovery charge (QC = 12 nC), 1.5 K/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, and operation up to 175 °C junction temperature - deployed in CCM PFC stages of high-efficiency SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the IDH08SG60CXKSA2 datasheet, IDH08SG60CXKSA2 pinout, IDH08SG60CXKSA2 application, or IDH08SG60CXKSA2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SiC-based zero-recovery switching, surge robustness (IF,max = 350 A @ 10 µs), low forward voltage (VF = 2.2 V @ 8 A, 150 °C), and TO-220-2 package thermal performance.
Technical Context
This SiC Schottky diode eliminates minority-carrier injection, resulting in no reverse recovery time (trr) and temperature-independent switching behavior. Its capacitive charge (QC = 12 nC) dominates turn-off dynamics, with tc < 10 ns defined solely by displacement current decay - independent of Tj, load current, or di/dt.
Designed for high-temperature reliability, it sustains 600 V blocking at Tj = 150 °C with IR ≤ 700 µA, and delivers 42 A non-repetitive surge current (tp = 10 ms) at TC = 25 °C. Thermal resistance RthJC = 1.5 K/W enables direct heatsink mounting via M3/M3.5 screws (60 Ncm torque).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - supports 400 V DC-link PFC designs with 50 % margin against transients |
| IF | 8 A continuous @ TC < 130 °C - enables compact heatsinking in space-constrained 1–3 kW converters |
| VF | 2.2 V @ 8 A, 150 °C - reduces conduction loss vs. Si diodes in high-temp industrial environments |
| QC | 12 nC - defines soft, predictable turn-off energy; eliminates snubber design in hard-switched topologies |
| RthJC | 1.5 K/W - allows direct thermal path to heatsink; supports >80 W dissipation at ΔT = 120 K |
| tc | <10 ns - sets upper bound on capacitive turn-off time; enables >1 MHz switching feasibility |
| IF,max | 350 A @ 10 µs - withstands line surge and inrush without avalanche degradation |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO220-2 (standard through-hole power package with isolated tab, lead-free plating, RoHS compliant). Mounting via M3/M3.5 screws at 60 Ncm torque; soldering allowed only on leads at 260 °C for 10 s within 1.6 mm of case.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Case/Tab) | Cathode (C) | Electrically connected to cathode; thermally active surface for heatsink attachment |
| Pin 2 | Anode (A) | Input terminal for forward current; isolated from case; requires PCB trace routing for isolation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No reverse recovery | Eliminates switching losses and EMI from tail current; removes need for snubbers in PFC boost diodes |
| Temperature-stable QC and VF | Enables consistent timing and loss prediction across -55 to 175 °C ambient operating range |
| High dv/dt ruggedness | 50 V/ns rating prevents false turn-on during fast voltage transitions in high-side switching nodes |
| Low figure-of-merit QC/IF | 1.5 nC/A - superior switching efficiency vs. competing SiC diodes in 600 V class |
| JEDEC-qualified reliability | Validated per J-STD-20/JESD22 for automotive and industrial applications requiring long-term stability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SiC Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D08060E (Wolfspeed) | Same 600 V/8 A rating; QC = 13.5 nC; VF = 2.3 V @ 8 A, 150 °C; TO-220-2 package | Higher VF increases conduction loss in high-duty-cycle PFC; identical thermal RthJC | Select when legacy layout compatibility with Wolfspeed footprint is required |
| STPSC806D (STMicroelectronics) | 600 V/8 A; QC = 14 nC; VF = 2.15 V @ 8 A, 25 °C but degrades to 2.45 V @ 150 °C; RthJC = 1.7 K/W | Higher thermal resistance limits power density; higher VF drift reduces efficiency at elevated temperature | Select for cost-sensitive industrial drives where 150 °C operation is not required |
Compared with C3D0806E and STPSC806D, IDH08SG60CXKSA2 offers the lowest QC/IF ratio and best VF stability at 150 °C, making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-frequency PFC and solar inverter applications demanding consistent efficiency across temperature.

FAQ
Is IDH08SG60CXKSA2 pin-compatible with standard TO-220-2 Si diodes?
Yes - it uses the PG-TO220-2 outline with identical mechanical dimensions and screw-mounting features (M3/M3.5, 60 Ncm). Pin 1 is cathode-connected tab; Pin 2 is anode. No PCB redesign is needed for drop-in replacement of legacy Si or SiC TO-220-2 diodes in existing layouts.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous 8 A operation?
The datasheet specifies IF = 8 A is rated for TC < 130 °C. At TC = 130 °C, derating begins; at TC = 150 °C, continuous current drops to 6.5 A. Operation beyond 130 °C requires thermal modeling using RthJC = 1.5 K/W and junction limit of 175 °C.
Does IDH08SG60CXKSA2 require a gate resistor or snubber network?
No - as a Schottky diode with no minority carriers, it has no reverse recovery and exhibits purely capacitive turn-off. A snubber is unnecessary unless addressing parasitic ringing from layout inductance; gate resistors do not apply since it is not a controlled device.
How is surge current rating validated for this part?
Non-repetitive surge current (IF,SM = 42 A @ 10 ms, TC = 25 °C) is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A114 test conditions. Each unit undergoes 10 ms sine-halfwave stress at rated current; devices passing without parameter shift or physical damage receive final qualification.
