Product details
Overview
IDH16G65C5XKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 650 V, 16 A silicon carbide Schottky diode in TO-220-2 package, featuring zero reverse recovery charge, 1.5–1.7 V forward voltage at 16 A and 25°C, 23 nC capacitive charge at 400 V, and rated for continuous operation up to 135°C case temperature. It serves as a high-efficiency freewheeling or output rectifier in high-frequency switch-mode power supplies and solar inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IDH16G65C5XKSA1 datasheet, IDH16G65C5XKSA1 pinout, IDH16G65C5XKSA1 application, or IDH16G65C5XKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 650 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 124 A surge current capability at 25°C, 0.7 K/W typical junction-to-case thermal resistance, and RoHS-compliant Pb-free lead plating.
Technical Context
This SiC Schottky diode leverages Infineon's 5th Generation thinQ!™ technology with diffusion-soldered die attach and thin-wafer design, enabling lower Qc × Vf figure of merit versus prior generations. Its unipolar conduction eliminates minority-carrier storage, resulting in temperature-independent switching behavior and no reverse recovery losses.
The device is optimized for co-packaging with 650 V CoolMOS™ MOSFETs, supporting high-power-density topologies such as interleaved PFC and two-level solar inverters. Its dv/dt ruggedness of 100 V/ns and avalanche-tested construction ensure robustness under fast-switching transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 650 V - Maximum repetitive reverse blocking voltage; enables use in 400 V AC input PFC and 600 V DC bus solar inverters. |
| IF (TC < 135°C) | 16 A - Continuous forward current rating at case temperature ≤135°C; defines maximum steady-state conduction capability. |
| VF @ 16 A, 25°C | 1.5–1.7 V - Forward voltage drop; directly determines conduction loss and thermal load in high-current paths. |
| Qc @ VR=400 V | 23 nC - Total capacitive charge; governs turn-on switching loss when commutated by a MOSFET or IGBT. |
| RthJC (typ) | 0.7 K/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables accurate junction temperature estimation using heatsink-mounted case temp. |
| IR @ 650 V, 150°C | 3.2–1400 µA - Reverse leakage current range; impacts standby loss and thermal runaway risk in series-connected strings. |
| dv/dt ruggedness | 100 V/ns - Maximum sustainable voltage transient rate; ensures reliable operation during fast MOSFET switching edges. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PG-TO220-2 (standard through-hole, 2-pin, isolated tab). Pin 1 = Cathode (C), Pin 2 = Anode (A). Pin 3 is not assigned (n.a.). The metal tab is electrically connected to the cathode and serves as primary thermal path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Cathode) | High-side return node | Connected to positive rail or switching node; carries full load current and must be routed with low-inductance layout. |
| Pin 2 (Anode) | Low-side conduction path | Connected to ground or negative rail; forms freewheeling path during MOSFET off-time in buck or flyback topologies. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No reverse recovery charge | Eliminates switching loss and EMI associated with Si diode tail current; enables >200 kHz operation without snubbers. |
| Temperature-independent switching | Qc and VF drift <±5% from −55°C to 150°C; simplifies thermal design across wide ambient ranges. |
| High surge current rating | 124 A non-repetitive sine half-wave surge (10 ms) at 25°C; supports inrush and fault-current handling in UPS and PFC stages. |
| Optimized thermal interface | Diffusion-soldered die attach reduces interfacial thermal resistance by ~30% vs. standard solder, improving long-term reliability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SiC Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D16065E (Wolfspeed) | Same 650 V/16 A rating; 1.75 V VF @ 16 A, 25°C; 25 nC Qc; TO-247-2L package. | Higher thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.9 K/W); requires larger heatsink footprint than TO-220-2. | Preferred where higher surge margin (140 A) and industry-standard TO-247 mounting are required. |
| STPSC15H065D (STMicroelectronics) | 15 A rating; 1.6 V VF @ 15 A, 25°C; 21 nC Qc; same TO-220-2 package; 175°C max Tj. | Lower IF rating limits usable power density; tighter IR spec (≤1 µA @ 650 V, 25°C). | Selected when tighter leakage control is critical in high-string-count PV arrays. |
Compared with C3D16065E and STPSC15H065D, IDH16G65C5XKSA1 offers the lowest RthJC (0.7 K/W) and best Qc × Vf trade-off in TO-220-2, making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding PFC and inverter designs.

FAQ
Is IDH16G65C5XKSA1 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes. IDH16G65C5XKSA1 uses Pb-free lead plating and meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. The device is also qualified as halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21, with chlorine and bromine content below 900 ppm each.
What is the maximum allowable junction temperature and how is it enforced?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 175°C. This limit is enforced via thermal design using the specified RthJC (0.7 K/W typ) and RthJA (62 K/W for leaded mounting), with derating applied above TC = 135°C per the IF vs. TC curve in the datasheet.
Can IDH16G65C5XKSA1 replace silicon diodes in existing designs without layout changes?
Yes - its TO-220-2 footprint matches legacy Si FRDs and standard heatsink mounting. However, reduced switching loss may require re-optimization of gate drive strength and snubber networks to avoid voltage overshoot from faster di/dt.
Does this diode require a negative gate drive or special biasing like SiC MOSFETs?
No. As a Schottky diode, IDH16G65C5XKSA1 has no gate terminal and operates passively. It requires only proper thermal management and layout attention to minimize parasitic inductance in high-di/dt paths.
