Product details
Overview
IDH10G120C5XKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 5th Generation CoolSiC™ 1200 V, 10 A silicon carbide Schottky diode in PG-TO220-2-1 package, featuring zero reverse recovery charge, 41 nC total capacitive charge at 800 V/150°C, and 175°C maximum junction temperature. It serves as a high-efficiency freewheeling or boost diode in high-voltage DC-link applications such as solar inverters and industrial motor drives.
For engineers reviewing the IDH10G120C5XKSA1 datasheet, IDH10G120C5XKSA1 pinout, IDH10G120C5XKSA1 application, or IDH10G120C5XKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1200 V VRRM, temperature-independent switching behavior, tight VF distribution (1.5–1.8 V @ 10 A/25°C), dv/dt ruggedness of 150 V/ns, and qualified JEDEC reliability for industrial power control.
Technical Context
This SiC Schottky diode replaces conventional silicon fast recovery diodes in high-frequency, high-efficiency power conversion stages. Its unipolar conduction eliminates minority-carrier storage, enabling true zero Qrr, no forward recovery overshoot, and stable switching losses across –55°C to 175°C operating range.
The device operates with fixed anode–cathode polarity and requires direct thermal mounting via the case (cathode-connected backside). Its 0.91 K/W typical Rth(j–c) supports high-power dissipation up to 165 W at TC = 25°C, while surge capability reaches 99 A (10 ms, TC = 25°C) without degradation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1200 V - blocks full DC-link voltage in 1000 V-class solar and UPS systems |
| IF | 10 A continuous @ TC = 155°C - rated for sustained conduction in thermally constrained enclosures |
| QC | 41 nC @ VR = 800 V, Tj = 150°C - determines turn-off energy loss in hard-switched converters |
| VF | 1.8 V max @ IF = 10 A, Tj = 150°C - enables low conduction loss even at elevated temperatures |
| Rth(j–c) | 0.91 K/W typ - allows efficient heat transfer to heatsink with minimal thermal interface resistance |
| dv/dt | 150 V/ns - withstands rapid voltage transients in high-dV/dt gate-drive environments |

Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO220-2-1 - insulated plastic housing with metal tab (cathode-connected backside) and two leads; designed for screw-mount thermal interface and PCB through-hole assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 + Backside Tab | Cathode | Electrically common terminal; must be directly mounted to heatsink with electrically insulating but thermally conductive interface |
| Pin 2 | Anode | Input terminal for forward current flow; connects to switching node or inductor output in boost/freewheeling topologies |
Key Features

| Specified dv/dt ruggedness (150 V/ns) | Guarantees reliable blocking during fast voltage transitions in SiC half-bridges |
| Extended surge capability (99 A, 10 ms) | Supports fault ride-through in industrial UPS and PFC without external crowbar protection |
| Pb-free, RoHS-compliant plating | Meets global environmental compliance requirements for industrial and renewable energy equipment |

FAQ
Is IDH10G120C5XKSA1 suitable for paralleling multiple units?
Yes. Its tight forward voltage distribution (±0.15 V at 10 A/25°C) and positive temperature coefficient of VF enable stable current sharing without external balancing resistors. Parallel operation is validated in Infineon's application note AN2019-07 for multi-kW solar boost stages.
What is the recommended thermal interface material for the cathode tab?
A thermally conductive, electrically insulating pad (e.g., Bergquist Sil-Pad 2000S) or ceramic washer with thermal conductivity ≥1.5 W/m·K is recommended. Mounting torque must be 0.7 Nm for M3/M4 screws to ensure uniform pressure and avoid die cracking.
Does IDH10G120C5XKSA1 require a snubber circuit in hard-switched topologies?
No snubber is required for typical 100–200 kHz operation due to its 150 V/ns dv/dt ruggedness and absence of reverse recovery. However, a small RC snubber (e.g., 100 Ω + 100 pF) may be used near layout discontinuities to suppress high-frequency ringing from parasitic inductance.
Can IDH10G120C5XKSA1 replace a 1200 V Si fast recovery diode directly?
Yes, in most cases-but gate drive timing must be reviewed. Unlike Si FRDs, this SiC diode has no reverse recovery delay, so dead-time can be reduced by 20–50 ns. Layout must minimize stray inductance to avoid voltage overshoot during diode commutation.
