Product details
Overview
IDH12SG60CXKSA2 from Infineon Technologies is a 3rd-generation silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diode rated for 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage and 12 A continuous forward current at TC < 130 °C. It delivers zero reverse recovery charge, <10 ns capacitive switching time, and 19 nC total capacitive charge-enabling high-efficiency, high-frequency operation in CCM PFC stages of server SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the IDH12SG60CXKSA2 datasheet, IDH12SG60CXKSA2 pinout, IDH12SG60CXKSA2 application, or IDH12SG60CXKSA2 equivalent, key selection criteria include its temperature-independent switching behavior, 1.2 K/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, surge capability up to 430 A (10 µs), and RoHS-compliant Pb-free lead plating.
Technical Context
This SiC Schottky diode operates without minority carrier injection, eliminating reverse recovery losses and associated EMI. Its static forward voltage is 1.8–2.1 V at 12 A and 25 °C, rising to 2.2 V at 150 °C-demonstrating stable conduction across industrial temperature range.
Capacitance is voltage-dependent: 310 pF at 1 V, dropping to 50 pF at both 300 V and 600 V (1 MHz). The diode's dv/dt ruggedness is rated at 50 V/ns under 0–480 V transition, supporting robust operation in fast-switching hard-commutated topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - supports 400 V DC-link designs with 50% voltage margin for transient clamping |
| IF | 12 A continuous - enables compact heatsinking in 3–5 kW PFC modules |
| VF | 1.8–2.1 V @ 12 A, 25 °C - reduces conduction loss vs. Si FRD by ~40% at same current |
| QC | 19 nC - minimizes turn-off energy loss in high-frequency (>100 kHz) switching |
| RthJC | 1.2 K/W - allows direct mounting to heatsink with predictable thermal path for thermal design |
| tc | <10 ns - defines capacitive displacement current decay time; no trr due to majority-carrier operation |
| IF,max | 430 A @ 10 µs - withstands short-circuit events in motor drive DC-link protection |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in PG-TO220-2 package with isolated mounting base. Case (Pin 1) is cathode; Pin 2 is anode. Mounting screw torque: 60 Ncm for M3/M3.5 screws.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Case) | Cathode | Electrically connected to metal tab; must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system ground reference requires common-cathode configuration |
| Pin 2 | Anode | Leads to internal SiC die anode; carries full load current during forward conduction; low-inductance layout critical for dv/dt performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No reverse recovery | Eliminates trr-related switching loss and EMI generation in hard-switched converters |
| Temperature-independent switching | Capacitive switching time tc remains stable from –55 °C to 175 °C-no derating needed for timing-critical gate drive circuits |
| High surge current capability | 59 A non-repetitive surge at TC = 25 °C (10 ms) supports inrush current handling in UPS input rectification |
| Low QC/IF figure of merit | 19 nC / 12 A = 1.58 nC/A - industry-leading efficiency metric for high-frequency PFC diodes |
| JEDEC-qualified reliability | Qualified per J-STD-20 and JESD22 for automotive and industrial applications requiring long-term bias stability |
Applications
| Server-Scale CCM PFC | Solar Inverter DC-Link |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) boost PFC stage in 3.5 kW telecom rectifier operating at 100–200 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode in boost output stage; conducts during MOSFET off-time with zero reverse recovery.

Use Value: Reduces thermal stress on IGBTs by limiting voltage overshoot during turn-off via low stored capacitance energy (EC = 8 µJ @ 600 V). |
| Industrial UPS Rectifier | EV Onboard Charger Boost Stage |
Use Scenario: Input rectifier front-end in 10 kVA double-conversion UPS with 480 V AC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Output diode in 3-phase active rectifier; handles 51 A surge at 150 °C for 10 ms during overload transients. Use Value: Maintains uninterrupted power delivery without thermal runaway during sustained overloads due to flat IF-Tj derating curve. | Use Scenario: Boost diode in 6.6 kW OBC operating in interleaved dual-phase PFC mode at 150 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed unidirectional switch in high-side boost leg; blocks 600 V while conducting 12 A with 2.2 V VF at 150 °C. Use Value: Enables smaller magnetics and reduced filter size through stable high-frequency operation without trr-induced ringing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SiC Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D10060A (Wolfspeed) | Same 600 V / 10 A rating; higher VF (1.9–2.3 V); RthJC = 1.5 K/W | Larger footprint (TO-247-2); less suitable for space-constrained TO-220 layouts | Prefer when higher surge margin required; avoid if thermal interface resistance dominates system RthJA |
| STPSC1206D (STMicroelectronics) | 600 V / 12 A; VF = 1.7–2.0 V; QC = 22 nC; RthJC = 1.3 K/W | Higher QC increases turn-off loss in >150 kHz designs; slightly better VF at cold start | Select for cost-sensitive industrial drives where 3 nC QC penalty is acceptable for lower BOM cost |
Compared with C3D10060A and STPSC1206D, IDH12SG60CXKSA2 offers the lowest QC/IF ratio (1.58 nC/A) and tightest VF distribution-making it optimal for thermally constrained, high-frequency PFC where switching loss dominates efficiency.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The datasheet specifies continuous forward current IF = 12 A is rated for TC < 130 °C. At TC = 130 °C, derating begins linearly to zero at 175 °C junction temperature. Thermal design must ensure case temperature stays below 130 °C under full load to maintain rated current.
Does this diode require a gate driver or external control signal?
No. IDH12SG60CXKSA2 is an uncontrolled two-terminal power diode with no gate terminal. It conducts automatically when anode voltage exceeds cathode voltage by >VF, and blocks when reverse biased-requiring no driver, biasing, or control logic.
Can it replace a silicon fast recovery diode in an existing design?
Yes-with layout review. Its zero reverse recovery eliminates snubber networks, but its lower VF and faster dv/dt demand careful PCB routing to avoid parasitic oscillation. Also verify that the 600 V VRRM meets system overvoltage margin requirements before drop-in replacement.
Is the PG-TO220-2 package electrically isolated?
No. In the PG-TO220-2 package, the metal tab (Pin 1/case) is electrically connected to the cathode. Electrical isolation from the heatsink requires insulating hardware (e.g., silicone pad + shoulder washer) unless the cathode is system ground or shares reference potential with the heatsink.
