Product details
Overview
IDP09E120 from Infineon Technologies is a fast-switching, soft-recovery 1200 V, 9 A ultrafast rectifier diode in PG-TO220-2 package, featuring 1.65 V forward voltage at 9 A and 25 °C, 140 ns reverse recovery time at 25 °C, and low 950 nC reverse recovery charge - optimized for high-frequency PFC and industrial SMPS.
For engineers reviewing the IDP09E120 datasheet, IDP09E120 pinout, IDP09E120 application, or IDP09E120 equivalent, key selection criteria include VRRM = 1200 V, IF = 9 A (continuous), soft recovery (S = 5.4), low Qrr, and TO-220-2 thermal performance (RthJC = 1.8 K/W).
Technical Context
This diode employs advanced silicon epitaxial technology to achieve fast, soft reverse recovery with controlled tail current decay - critical for minimizing EMI and switching losses in hard-commutated topologies. Its low Qrr (950–1600 nC) and high S-factor (5.4–6.6) reduce voltage overshoot during turn-off across temperature.
The PG-TO220-2 package provides direct thermal path from junction to case (RthJC = 1.8 K/W), enabling reliable operation up to Tj = 150 °C with 14.4 A continuous current at TC = 90 °C - supporting compact heatsink designs in high-power converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1200 V - supports DC-link voltages up to 800 V in boost PFC and 3-phase rectification with margin |
| IF (TC=25°C) | 23 A - peak continuous conduction capability under ideal heatsinking |
| VF @ 9 A, 25°C | 1.65 V - enables <1.5 W conduction loss per diode at rated current |
| trr @ 25°C | 140 ns - ensures minimal switching overlap loss in 100–300 kHz SMPS |
| Qrr @ 25°C | 950 nC - reduces turn-off dv/dt stress and snubber requirements |
| S-factor @ 25°C | 5.4 - quantifies softness; suppresses voltage ringing and EMI in hard-switched circuits |
| RthJC | 1.8 K/W - allows 38.3 W power dissipation before reaching Tj = 150 °C at TC = 25 °C |
Pinout & Package
PG-TO220-2 package with isolated tab (pin 1 = cathode, pin 2 = anode, pin 3 = case/thermal pad). The metal tab is electrically connected to the cathode and serves as primary thermal interface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Cathode | Main current exit terminal; electrically tied to metal tab for low-inductance, high-current return path |
| Pin 2 | Anode | Main current entry terminal; designed for PCB through-hole mounting with mechanical stability |
| Pin 3 (Tab) | Thermal / Cathode | Electrically and thermally coupled to cathode; requires insulated mounting hardware when isolation from heatsink is needed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Soft switching recovery | Reverse recovery softness factor S = 5.4–6.6 ensures controlled tail current decay, reducing voltage spikes and EMI generation |
| Low Qrr | 950–1600 nC across temperature minimizes turn-off energy loss and snubber sizing in high-frequency converters |
| Pb-free & halogen-free | RoHS-compliant lead plating and IEC61249-2-21 compliant materials support environmental compliance without derating |
| JEDEC-qualified | Qualified for industrial and telecom power applications per JEDEC standards, ensuring reliability under thermal cycling and humidity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH12-12W | VRRM = 1200 V, trr = 150 ns, Qrr = 1100 nC, RthJC = 2.0 K/W | Higher Qrr and slightly slower recovery increase turn-off loss in >200 kHz designs | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs 5% efficiency gain at high frequency |
| IXYS MUR10120CT | Dual-diode TO-220AB package, VRRM = 1200 V, trr = 130 ns, Qrr = 850 nC, but higher VF = 1.85 V | Lower Qrr but higher conduction loss limits use in high-duty-cycle PFC stages | Applicable in lower-current (<7 A avg) or lower-temperature environments where softness is secondary |
Compared with STTH12-12W and MUR10120CT, IDP09E120 delivers superior softness (S ≥ 5.4) and lowest VF among 1200 V 9 A FRDs - making it optimal for high-efficiency, high-frequency PFC and industrial SMPS where EMI and thermal management are critical.

FAQ
Is IDP09E120 suitable for synchronous rectification?
No. IDP09E120 is a unidirectional, non-controlled PN-junction diode with no gate control. It cannot be used as a synchronous rectifier, which requires actively switched MOSFETs. Its role is strictly as a high-voltage, fast-recovery freewheeling or output rectifier in hard-switched topologies.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The maximum continuous case temperature is 90 °C, at which the device supports 14.4 A forward current while maintaining Tj ≤ 150 °C. Exceeding 90 °C case temperature requires derating per the IF = f(TC) curve on page 4 of the datasheet.
Does the metal tab require electrical isolation from the heatsink?
Yes. The tab is internally connected to Pin 1 (cathode). If the heatsink is grounded or at a different potential, electrically insulating mounting hardware (e.g., mica washer + shoulder washer) must be used to prevent short circuits and ensure safe operation.
How does reverse recovery softness affect EMI in a PFC circuit?
A higher softness factor (S ≥ 5.4) indicates slower, more linear tail current decay during turn-off - reducing di/dt-induced voltage spikes and high-frequency ringing. This directly lowers conducted and radiated EMI, easing compliance with EN55022 Class B limits without additional filtering components.
