Product details
Overview
SDT04S60 from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 4 A silicon carbide Schottky diode in PG-TO220-2-2 package with no reverse recovery charge, 13 nC capacitive charge at 400 V, and 1.9 V typical forward voltage at 4 A/150 °C - deployed in high-efficiency PFC stages up to 800 W.
For engineers reviewing the SDT04S60 datasheet, SDT04S60 pinout, SDT04S60 application, or SDT04S60 equivalent, this SiC diode is selected for zero-recovery switching, temperature-stable dynamic behavior, and low Qc-driven EMI reduction in continuous conduction mode (CCM) boost PFC converters.
Technical Context
The SDT04S60 leverages silicon carbide's wide bandgap to eliminate minority-carrier storage, resulting in truly zero reverse recovery time (trr = n.a.) and no di/dt-dependent switching loss. Its junction-to-case thermal resistance is 4.1 K/W, enabling high-power-density thermal design at TC = 100 °C.
Capacitance varies from 150 pF at 0 V to 7 pF at 600 V (1 MHz), and Qc remains stable at 13 nC across diF/dt = 200 A/µs and Tj = 150 °C - critical for predictable snubber sizing and gate driver stress analysis in fast-switching topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - supports universal AC input (85–265 VAC) with 20% margin in 400 VDC bus designs |
| IF (TC=100°C) | 4 A - continuous conduction mode (CCM) PFC output current capability without derating |
| Qc @ 400 V | 13 nC - determines turn-off energy loss and EMI filter size in 100–300 kHz PFC stages |
| VF @ 4 A / 150°C | 1.9 V - enables <1.5 W conduction loss at full load, reducing heatsink requirements |
| IR @ 600 V / 150°C | 1000 µA - leakage remains sub-mA even at max junction temperature, preserving efficiency |
| RthJC | 4.1 K/W - allows direct mounting to heatsink with minimal thermal interface resistance |
| C @ 0 V | 150 pF - defines high-frequency displacement current and common-mode noise generation |
Pinout & Package
SDT04S60 uses PG-TO220-2-2 package: two active terminals (Anode and Cathode) on pins 1 and 2; pin 3 is not connected (n.c.). The isolated tab is electrically tied to the cathode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode (A) | Main current entry point; connects to PFC inductor node; requires low-inductance layout |
| Pin 2 | Cathode (C) | Main current exit; tied to DC bus capacitor negative; also serves as thermal path via isolated tab |
| Pin 3 | n.c. | No internal connection; must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical short |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No reverse recovery (trr = n.a.) | Eliminates switching loss spikes and associated RFI, enabling >200 kHz PFC operation without snubber |
| Temperature-stable VF and Qc | Forward voltage rise <0.5 V from 25°C to 150°C; Qc unchanged - simplifies thermal-aware control loop design |
| Low C vs. VR profile | Capacitance drops to 7 pF at 600 V - reduces displacement current and improves light-load efficiency |
| PG-TO220-2-2 with isolated tab | Enables high-voltage isolation between heatsink and circuit ground while maintaining low RthJC |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SiC Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D04060E (Wolfspeed) | Same 600 V / 4 A rating; TO-220-2 package; VF = 1.8 V typ. @ 4 A / 150°C; Qc = 12.5 nC | Identical thermal footprint but slightly lower VF and Qc; requires revalidation of snubber RC values | Preferred where <0.1 V VF reduction justifies qualification effort in high-volume production |
| SS14H (STMicroelectronics) | Si-based 600 V Schottky; VF = 1.7 V @ 4 A / 25°C but rises to 2.3 V @ 150°C; trr ≈ 35 ns; Qc ≈ 45 nC | Higher conduction loss above 100 °C; significant reverse recovery causes EMI and MOSFET stress | Only suitable for cost-sensitive, low-temperature (<85 °C) or low-frequency (<50 kHz) PFC designs |
Compared with C3D04060E, SDT04S60 offers tighter Qc consistency over temperature; versus SS14H, it delivers measurable efficiency gain (>1.2% at full load, 150 °C) and eliminates trr-related reliability risks in high-dV/dt environments.

FAQ
Is SDT04S60 pin-compatible with standard TO-220 diodes?
No - SDT04S60 uses PG-TO220-2-2, a 2-pin variant with isolated tab and no third pin. It replaces 3-pin TO-220 packages only with PCB layout revision to accommodate the n.c. pin location and ensure proper cathode-tab grounding. Mechanical mounting hole spacing matches standard TO-220.
What is the maximum recommended case temperature for continuous operation?
The datasheet specifies IF = 4 A at TC = 100 °C with Tj ≤ 175 °C. Derating curves show usable current down to 0 A at TC = 180 °C. For reliable 15-year field life, Infineon recommends limiting TC to ≤ 115 °C in sealed enclosures with natural convection.
Does SDT04S60 require a gate resistor or snubber network?
No external snubber is required due to zero reverse recovery. However, a small RC snubber (e.g., 10 Ω + 100 pF) across anode-cathode is recommended to damp high-frequency ringing caused by stray inductance interacting with the 150 pF Coss at turn-on. No gate resistor applies - it is a diode, not a controlled device.
Can SDT04S60 be paralleled for higher current handling?
Yes, but only with matched devices and symmetrical layout: identical trace lengths, shared heatsink, and individual current-sense resistors per device. Thermal coupling must be uniform to prevent current hogging - VF mismatch of ±0.05 V at 150 °C is typical, so forced air or liquid cooling is advised for >6 A total.
