Product details
Overview
IDWD15G120C5XKSA1 from Infineon is a 5th Generation CoolSiC™ 1200 V, 15 A silicon carbide Schottky diode in PG-TO247-2 package, featuring zero reverse recovery charge, 82 nC total capacitive charge at 800 V and 150 °C, 175 °C maximum junction temperature, and 150 V/ns dv/dt ruggedness. It serves as a high-efficiency freewheeling or boost diode in high-voltage DC/DC converters for solar inverters.
For engineers reviewing the IDWD15G120C5XKSA1 datasheet, IDWD15G120C5XKSA1 pinout, IDWD15G120C5XKSA1 application, or IDWD15G120C5XKSA1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.65 V forward voltage at 15 A and 150 °C, tight VF distribution, surge capability (170 A non-repetitive peak), thermal resistance (0.6–0.8 K/W j-c), and RoHS-compliant Pb-free plating.
Technical Context
This SiC Schottky diode replaces silicon PN diodes in high-frequency, high-voltage power stages where switching losses dominate. Its unipolar conduction eliminates reverse recovery, enabling operation up to 100 kHz with minimal EMI and no snubber requirements.
Designed for hard-switched topologies, it delivers stable VF and IR across -55 °C to 175 °C, with dv/dt immunity validated to 150 V/ns under dynamic blocking conditions - critical for reliability in fast-rising bus transients in industrial UPS and welding equipment.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SiC Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D15120E (Wolfspeed) | Same 1200 V/15 A rating; VF = 1.7 V @ 15 A, 150 °C; Rth(j-c) = 0.9 K/W; TO-247-2 package | Higher VF increases conduction loss by ~30 mW/A; lower thermal conductivity requires larger heatsink footprint | Select when legacy layout compatibility with Wolfspeed footprint is required; verify thermal margin at 156 °C case temp |
| STPSC15H12D (STMicroelectronics) | 1200 V/15 A; VF = 1.8 V @ 15 A, 150 °C; QC = 95 nC @ 800 V; Rth(j-c) = 0.85 K/W; TO-247AC package | Higher QC increases turn-off loss in >60 kHz designs; wider VF distribution limits parallel operation | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial SMPS where <50 kHz operation and moderate thermal margin suffice |
Compared with C3D15120E and STPSC15H12D, IDWD15G120C5XKSA1 offers the lowest VF (1.65 V), tightest VF distribution, and highest dv/dt ruggedness (150 V/ns), making it optimal for high-reliability, high-frequency solar and EV charging systems demanding minimal thermal overhead and transient immunity.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The datasheet specifies continuous forward current IF = 15 A at TC = 156 °C, with maximum junction temperature Tvj,max = 175 °C. Thermal resistance Rth(j-c) = 0.6–0.8 K/W implies that at 15 A, case temperature must not exceed 156 °C to maintain safe junction temperature - exceeding this requires derating or enhanced cooling.
Does IDWD15G120C5XKSA1 require a gate resistor or snubber circuit?
No - as a Schottky diode, it has no gate and exhibits no reverse recovery. Snubbers are unnecessary due to zero Qrr and specified 150 V/ns dv/dt ruggedness. Layout should minimize stray inductance (<15 nH) between anode/cathode and heatsink to preserve switching integrity.
Can this diode be paralleled for higher current handling?
Yes - its tight forward voltage distribution (±5% typical) and positive temperature coefficient of VF enable stable current sharing. Parallel operation requires matched layout symmetry, identical heatsinking, and <5 mm inter-device spacing to avoid thermal runaway; no external ballasting resistors are needed.
Is the PG-TO247-2 package compatible with standard TO-247 heatsinks?
Yes - PG-TO247-2 uses the industry-standard TO-247 mechanical outline (JEDEC TO-247AC). Pin 1 and backside serve as cathode, so heatsink mounting must be electrically isolated unless system ground references cathode; M3 screw torque is specified at 0.6 Nm for reliable thermal contact.
