Product details
Overview
SDT05S60 from Infineon Technologies is a 600 V, 5 A silicon carbide Schottky diode in PG-TO220-2-2 package, designed as a high-efficiency freewheeling and output rectifier in switched-mode power supplies. It features zero reverse recovery charge (Qc = 14 nC), temperature-independent switching, and low forward voltage (VF = 1.7 V @ 5 A, 150 °C), enabling high-frequency operation in PFC and DC-DC converters for server PSUs.
For engineers reviewing the SDT05S60 datasheet, SDT05S60 pinout, SDT05S60 application, or SDT05S60 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SiC-based zero-recovery behavior, thermal resistance (RthJC = 3.5 K/W), junction-to-case power dissipation limit (Ptot = 43 W @ TC = 25 °C), and rated surge current (IFSM = 18.5 A).
Technical Context
This SiC Schottky diode replaces conventional silicon fast recovery diodes and MOSFET body diodes in high-efficiency topologies. Its unipolar conduction eliminates minority-carrier storage, resulting in no reverse recovery time (trr = n.a.) and no associated switching losses or EMI spikes - critical for >100 kHz operation in telecom rectifiers and solar inverters.
The device operates across -55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature with stable VF and IR characteristics. Capacitance drops from 170 pF at 1 V to 12 pF at 600 V, supporting low-loss snubberless designs and predictable gate-drive interaction in half-bridge configurations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Maximum blocking voltage for use in 400 V DC bus systems with 50 V margin |
| IF | 5 A continuous - Rated for steady-state conduction at TC = 100 °C in heatsink-mounted applications |
| Qc | 14 nC @ VR = 400 V, diF/dt = 200 A/µs - Enables precise loss modeling in hard-switched PFC stages |
| VF | 1.7 V @ 5 A, 150 °C - Low conduction loss improves efficiency over Si diodes by ≥0.3 V at full load |
| RthJC | 3.5 K/W - Allows direct thermal path to heatsink; supports 12 W junction power at ΔT = 42 K |
| IFSM | 18.5 A @ 10 ms - Withstands inrush currents in AC-DC front ends without derating |
| Ciss | 12 pF @ VR = 600 V - Minimizes capacitive coupling and dv/dt-induced turn-on in synchronous rectification |
Pinout & Package
PG-TO220-2-2 package with isolated tab (pin 1 = cathode, pin 2 = anode). Metal tab is electrically connected to cathode and serves as primary thermal interface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 (Tab) | Cathode | Primary heat sink interface; must be electrically isolated from system ground unless circuit topology requires common-cathode configuration |
| Pin 2 | Anode | Current entry point; routed to switching node or transformer secondary; requires low-inductance layout to minimize voltage overshoot |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No reverse recovery | Eliminates trr-related switching losses and EMI, enabling clean turn-off in boost PFC without snubbers |
| Temperature-stable VF | VF increases only 0.4 V from 25 °C to 150 °C - enables consistent conduction loss prediction across operating range |
| Low Qc | 14 nC at 400 V - reduces stored charge loss by >90% vs. comparable Si FRD (typ. 120–200 nC) |
| High Tj rating | 175 °C max junction temperature - supports compact thermal design in sealed enclosures without forced air |
| SiC material system | Bandgap of 3.2 eV enables 10× higher critical electric field than Si - intrinsic 600 V rating without edge termination complexity |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SiC Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D05060E (Wolfspeed) | Same 600 V/5 A rating; TO-220-2 package; Qc = 15 nC; VF = 1.8 V @ 5 A, 150 °C | Higher VF increases conduction loss by ~0.1 V; identical thermal resistance | Preferred where legacy Wolfspeed footprint compatibility required |
| SS5P6 (STMicroelectronics) | 600 V/5 A SiC Schottky; DPAK package; RthJC = 5.0 K/W; Qc = 13.5 nC | Lower thermal performance limits power handling at TC > 85 °C; unsuitable for >10 W continuous dissipation | Only viable in space-constrained, low-power (<5 W) applications with PCB copper heatsinking |
Compared with C3D05060E and SS5P6, SDT05S60 delivers the lowest VF among 600 V/5 A SiC diodes in TO-220 format and the best thermal interface for industrial heatsink mounting - making it optimal for high-reliability, thermally demanding PFC and output rectification.

FAQ
Is SDT05S60 compatible with standard TO-220 heatsinks?
Yes. The PG-TO220-2-2 package uses industry-standard TO-220 mechanical dimensions and mounting hole spacing. Its isolated metal tab interfaces directly with standard insulating washers and thermal pads, supporting thermal resistance as low as 3.5 K/W when mounted with 0.5 N·m torque and 0.5 mm thickness thermal interface material.
Does SDT05S60 require gate drive or external control?
No. As a passive unipolar Schottky diode, SDT05S60 conducts automatically when forward-biased and blocks when reverse-biased. It has no gate terminal, no threshold voltage, and no control signal requirement - unlike SiC MOSFETs or hybrid modules.
What is the maximum recommended case temperature for continuous operation?
The datasheet specifies IF = 5 A at TC = 100 °C. Derating begins above this point: at TC = 125 °C, maximum continuous IF drops to 3.5 A; at TC = 150 °C, it is 1.8 A. Operation beyond 175 °C junction temperature is prohibited.
Can SDT05S60 replace a silicon fast recovery diode in an existing design?
Yes, with layout verification. Due to its zero Qrr, reduced VF, and lower capacitance, it typically improves efficiency and reduces EMI. However, verify snubber component values, gate-drive loop stability, and thermal interface - especially if replacing a higher-VF Si diode previously used for soft-switching compensation.
