Product details
Overview
IDW10S120FKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky barrier diode rated for 1200 V reverse voltage, 10 A average forward current, and 75 A peak forward surge current in TO-247-3 package; it operates with zero reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 0), enabling high-frequency switching in PFC stages of industrial AC-DC power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the IDW10S120FKSA1 datasheet, IDW10S120FKSA1 pinout, IDW10S120FKSA1 application, or IDW10S120FKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its unipolar conduction, temperature-stable forward voltage (VF = 1.7 V @ 10 A, Tj = 150 °C), low thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.9 K/W), and suitability for hard-switched totem-pole PFC topologies requiring minimal switching loss.
Technical Context
This SiC Schottky diode replaces conventional silicon fast recovery diodes and SiC MOSFET body diodes in high-efficiency power conversion systems. Its zero Qrr and low VF reduce both conduction and switching losses, especially above 100 kHz operation.
The device features a planar junction structure with field termination ring for stable 1200 V blocking capability across -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature range, and is qualified per AEC-Q101 for automotive-grade reliability where applicable.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1200 V - Maximum repetitive reverse voltage; enables use in 800 V DC-link systems with 50 % safety margin. |
| IF(AV) | 10 A - Average forward current at case temperature TC = 135 °C; defines continuous conduction capability in heatsink-limited designs. |
| IFSM | 75 A - Non-repetitive peak forward surge current (tp = 10 ms); supports inrush current handling in AC-DC front-ends. |
| VF | 1.7 V @ 10 A, Tj = 150 °C - Forward voltage drop; directly determines conduction loss and thermal load under full-load conditions. |
| Qrr | 0 C - Zero reverse recovery charge; eliminates turn-off switching loss and associated EMI in hard-switched converters. |
| RthJC | 0.9 K/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance; enables efficient heat transfer to heatsink in TO-247-3 mounting configuration. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-247-3 (standard through-hole, isolated tab, lead-free plating). Dimensions comply with JEDEC TO-247AC outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Forward current entry point | Connected to AC input or switching node side in boost/PFC stage; requires low-inductance layout to minimize voltage overshoot. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Forward current exit point | Connected to DC-link capacitor positive terminal; serves as main return path for rectified current. |
| Case / Tab (Pin 3) | Thermal and electrical ground reference | Electrically tied to cathode internally; must be mounted to heatsink with electrically insulating but thermally conductive interface. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero reverse recovery charge (Qrr) | Eliminates switching loss and diode-induced shoot-through risk in totem-pole PFC, enabling >99 % efficiency at 100 kHz. |
| Positive temperature coefficient of VF | Enables inherent current sharing in parallel configurations without external balancing resistors. |
| 175 °C maximum junction temperature | Supports compact thermal design with reduced heatsink volume in space-constrained server PSUs and EV chargers. |
| Low leakage current (IR = 100 µA @ 1200 V, Tj = 150 °C) | Maintains system efficiency at high ambient temperatures and reduces standby power loss in always-on applications. |
Applications
| Industrial AC-DC Power Supplies | Server & Data Center PSUs |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SiC Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D10065E-TR | 650 V rating, same 10 A IF(AV), higher VF (1.8 V @ 10 A), TO-247-2 package (no isolated tab) | Limited to 400 V DC-link systems; unsuitable for 800 V architectures | Select only if system DC-link ≤ 400 V and thermal interface allows non-isolated mounting. |
| SS120120A | 1200 V, 10 A, VF = 1.75 V @ 10 A, RthJC = 1.1 K/W, TO-247-3 with insulated tab | Higher thermal resistance increases junction temperature rise by ~15 °C at full load | Acceptable for lower-power (<6 kW) or lower-ambient applications where derating is feasible. |
Compared with C3D10065E-TR and SS120120A, IDW10S120FKSA1 delivers superior thermal performance and full 1200 V system compatibility, making it the preferred choice for 800 V DC-link PFC and high-power OBC designs demanding minimal conduction loss and robust thermal management.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The IDW10S120FKSA1 supports continuous operation up to TC = 135 °C, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings. At this case temperature, the device delivers its rated 10 A average forward current with junction temperature held at 175 °C, assuming RthJC = 0.9 K/W and no additional thermal interface resistance.
Can IDW10S120FKSA1 be paralleled for higher current handling?
Yes - its positive temperature coefficient of forward voltage ensures natural current sharing. Parallel operation requires matched layout inductance, identical thermal mounting, and individual gate drive routing for any companion SiC MOSFETs in totem-pole configurations to avoid dynamic imbalance.
Does this diode require a snubber circuit in hard-switched PFC applications?
No snubber is required due to zero Qrr and absence of reverse recovery current. However, a small RC snubber (e.g., 100 Ω + 1 nF) across the diode may be used to damp high-frequency ringing caused by stray inductance in high-di/dt layouts, particularly above 150 kHz.
Is the TO-247-3 package electrically isolated between tab and cathode?
Yes - the tab is internally connected to the cathode, but the package features an electrically isolated mounting surface (insulated tab variant). This allows direct heatsink mounting without external isolation hardware while maintaining cathode-referenced thermal path.
