Product details
Overview
IDW30E60AFKSA1 from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 60 A ultrafast recovery silicon diode in TO-247-3 package, designed for high-efficiency PFC and output rectification in industrial SMPS. It features 30 ns reverse recovery time (trr), 150 °C maximum junction temperature, and low forward voltage drop of 2.4 V at 60 A.
For engineers reviewing the IDW30E60AFKSA1 datasheet, IDW30E60AFKSA1 pinout, IDW30E60AFKSA1 application, or IDW30E60AFKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include trr consistency under hard-switching conditions, thermal resistance (RthJC = 0.4 K/W), and ruggedness against repetitive avalanche energy (EAS = 190 mJ).
Technical Context
This diode employs optimized lifetime control and platinum diffusion to achieve precise trr <30 ns with minimal Qrr (35 nC) and soft recovery waveform-critical for reducing EMI in continuous-conduction-mode (CCM) PFC stages. Its planar edge termination ensures stable 600 V blocking capability across temperature and process variation.
The device is rated for repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM) of 600 V and operates up to 150 °C junction temperature, with guaranteed surge current (IFSM) of 420 A (half-sine, 10 ms). Thermal performance is validated via RthJC = 0.4 K/W measured from junction to case under standard mounting conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Sustains full-rated DC bus voltage in 400 V AC-input PFC and 3-phase rectifier applications |
| IF(AV) | 60 A - Continuous average forward current at 150 °C case temperature, enabling compact heatsink design |
| trr | 30 ns - Enables operation at >100 kHz switching frequencies without excessive switching loss or EMI spikes |
| Qrr | 35 nC - Low recovered charge reduces turn-on loss in synchronous rectifier or IGBT co-packaged topologies |
| RthJC | 0.4 K/W - Allows direct thermal coupling to heatsink with minimal thermal interface resistance penalty |
| EAS | 190 mJ - Withstands repetitive unclamped inductive switching events in motor drive freewheeling paths |
Pinout & Package
TO-247-3 package: isolated tab (cathode), two leads (anode and cathode), with electrically isolated metal tab for direct heatsinking and high-voltage creepage compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 1) | Forward current entry point | Connected to AC input or switch node; requires low-inductance PCB routing to minimize voltage overshoot |
| Cathode (Lead 2) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Connected to DC bus; serves as primary high-side reference for gate drivers in half-bridge configurations |
| Isolated Tab (Cathode) | Thermal path + high-voltage isolation | Electrically tied to cathode but thermally optimized; enables direct mounting without insulating pad when referenced to same potential |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultrafast soft recovery | trr = 30 ns with softness factor >1.2 ensures low EMI and reduced snubber stress in high-frequency PFC |
| High surge robustness | IFSM = 420 A (10 ms) supports reliable operation during line transients and startup inverter overloads |
| Low thermal resistance | RthJC = 0.4 K/W allows 60 A conduction with ≤24 K temperature rise above heatsink at full load |
| Avalanche-rated | EAS = 190 mJ guarantees safe operation under unclamped inductive switching in motor control freewheel paths |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH60R06DJF | 600 V, 60 A, trr = 35 ns, Qrr = 42 nC, RthJC = 0.45 K/W | Slightly higher trr and Qrr increase switching loss in >150 kHz designs | Preferred where ST's automotive qualification and AEC-Q101 testing provide added assurance |
| IXYS MDD60-16N1 | 600 V, 60 A, trr = 25 ns, Qrr = 30 nC, but TO-247AC package lacks isolated tab | No electrically isolated tab limits heatsink mounting options in high-isolation systems | Chosen when lowest possible trr is critical and thermal interface can accommodate non-isolated mounting |
Compared with STTH60R06DJF and IXYS MDD60-16N1, IDW30E60AFKSA1 uniquely balances ultrafast recovery (30 ns), low Qrr (35 nC), and electrically isolated TO-247-3 packaging-enabling both high-density layout and reinforced insulation in industrial power supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
IDW30E60AFKSA1 supports continuous operation up to 150 °C case temperature, verified per Infineon's datasheet test conditions using standard TO-247 mounting with thermal compound and 10 cm² copper area. Derating is required above this limit to maintain reliability and avoid premature failure.
Does this diode require a snubber circuit in hard-switched PFC applications?
No snubber is required in typical CCM PFC designs due to its soft recovery characteristic (softness factor >1.2) and low Qrr (35 nC), which suppress voltage overshoot and ringing. However, a small RC snubber may still be used for EMI filtering in high-noise environments per system-level EMC validation.
Can IDW30E60AFKSA1 replace older 600 V fast diodes like BYV26E?
IDW30E60AFKSA1 is not a direct replacement for BYV26E due to higher current rating (60 A vs. 2.5 A), different package (TO-247-3 vs. DO-41), and significantly lower trr (30 ns vs. 50 ns). It targets entirely different power tiers and must be requalified in layout, thermal, and EMI design.
Is the isolated tab internally connected to the cathode?
Yes-the metal tab is electrically connected to the cathode and is fully isolated from the anode. This configuration allows direct heatsink mounting without electrical isolation hardware when the heatsink is referenced to cathode potential, simplifying mechanical design and improving thermal performance.
