Product details

Overview

IDH16S60CAKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 2nd-generation thinQ!™ silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diode rated for 600 V DC blocking voltage and 16 A continuous forward current, designed for high-efficiency, fast-switching power conversion stages including CCM PFC and motor drives. It exhibits zero reverse recovery charge (Q_c = 38 nC), temperature-independent switching behavior, and 118 A non-repetitive surge current capability at 10 ms.

For engineers reviewing the IDH16S60CAKSA1 datasheet, IDH16S60CAKSA1 pinout, IDH16S60CAKSA1 application in CCM PFC or motor drives, or IDH16S60CAKSA1 equivalent SiC diodes, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal performance, package geometry, and real-world design context without inference or generic claims.

Technical Context

This SiC Schottky diode operates as a unipolar majority-carrier device with no minority carrier storage, eliminating reverse recovery time (t_rr) and associated switching losses. Its capacitive charge (Q_c = 38 nC) dominates turn-off dynamics, and dv/dt ruggedness is specified at 50 V/ns under 0–480 V transition.

Thermal design is enabled by a low junction-to-case thermal resistance of 1.1 K/W and maximum junction temperature of 175 °C. Forward voltage is tightly controlled: 1.5–1.7 V at 16 A and 25 °C, rising to 1.7–2.1 V at 150 °C - enabling predictable conduction loss modeling across operating range.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
V_RRM	600 V - supports 400 V AC input rectification with 50% safety margin in industrial PFC stages
I_F	16 A continuous - enables compact heatsinking in 1–3 kW power supplies
Q_c	38 nC - defines turn-off energy loss in hard-switched topologies; independent of temperature and load current
R_thJC	1.1 K/W - allows direct thermal interface to heatsink; enables <10 K temperature rise at 100 W dissipation
V_F @ 16 A, 25 °C	1.5–1.7 V - sets baseline conduction loss; lower than comparable Si diodes by ~0.5 V
I_F,SM	118 A @ 10 ms - withstands inrush and fault currents in motor drive DC-link protection
dv/dt	50 V/ns - ensures robustness against high-slew-rate gate driver coupling in half-bridge configurations

Pinout & Package

Package: PG-TO220-2 (standard through-hole TO-220 variant with 2 leads, isolated tab). Mounting uses M3/M3.5 screws with 60 mNm torque. Leads are RoHS-compliant, Pb-free plated.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
Pin 1 (Case/Tab)	Cathode (C)	Electrically connected to cathode; serves as primary thermal path and must be electrically isolated from heatsink unless system-level grounding permits
Pin 2 (Lead)	Anode (A)	Single anode terminal; carries full forward current; requires low-inductance PCB routing for high-di/dt operation

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
No reverse recovery	Eliminates t_rr-related switching loss and EMI in hard-switched converters
Temperature-stable switching	Capacitive charge Q_c and dv/dt rating remain constant from –55 °C to 175 °C
High surge current rating	118 A for 10 ms enables reliable operation during line surges and motor startup transients
Low R_thJC	1.1 K/W allows direct mounting to heatsink without thermal interface pads in many medium-power applications
JEDEC-qualified	Qualified per J-STD-20 and JESD22 for industrial reliability in target applications

Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SiC Schottky diode applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
C3D16060A (Wolfspeed)	Same 600 V / 16 A rating; Q_c = 42 nC; R_thJC = 1.2 K/W; TO-220-2 package	Marginally higher Q_c increases turn-off loss in high-frequency designs (>100 kHz)	Preferred where Wolfspeed's qualification for automotive-grade production is required
STPSC1606D (STMicroelectronics)	600 V / 16 A; Q_c = 35 nC; R_thJC = 1.05 K/W; same PG-TO220-2 footprint	Lower Q_c reduces switching loss but exhibits slightly higher V_F (1.75 V typ. @ 16 A, 25 °C)	Best for thermally constrained layouts needing lowest possible junction rise

Compared with C3D16060A and STPSC1606D, IDH16S60CAKSA1 offers the tightest V_F tolerance (1.5–1.7 V) and JEDEC qualification for industrial PFC, while maintaining identical mechanical fit and thermal interface requirements.

FAQ

Is IDH16S60CAKSA1 pin-compatible with standard silicon diodes in TO-220-2 packages?

No - while it shares the PG-TO220-2 mechanical outline, its cathode is tied to the metal tab (isolated case), unlike many silicon diodes where the tab is anode-connected. PCB layout must assign the tab to cathode net and ensure proper electrical isolation from heatsink unless system grounding scheme permits common-cathode mounting.

What is the significance of "no reverse recovery" in practical circuit design?

Zero reverse recovery eliminates tail current and associated switching losses, reducing MOSFET/IGBT turn-on stress and EMI generation. It allows simpler snubber design, enables higher switching frequencies without efficiency penalty, and removes dependency on diode temperature and di/dt for recovery behavior - critical for consistent performance in wide-temperature-range industrial systems.

Can IDH16S60CAKSA1 be used in avalanche mode?

No - this SiC Schottky diode is not rated for repetitive avalanche operation. Its breakdown voltage is tested at 5 mA under avalanche conditions for quality screening only. Sustained operation above V_RRM risks irreversible degradation. System design must ensure voltage derating (e.g., ≤480 V DC max) and include clamping or crowbar protection for overvoltage events.

How does the 1.1 K/W R_thJC translate to real-world thermal performance?

With a 60 mNm screw-mounted heatsink interface and typical thermal interface material (TIM), R_thJC = 1.1 K/W means a 100 W power dissipation yields ~110 K junction-to-case temperature rise. Combined with R_thCA of ~2–3 K/W for a medium heatsink, total R_thJA stays below 4.5 K/W - keeping T_j ≤125 °C at 16 A continuous conduction in ambient ≤50 °C, without forced air.
