Product details
Overview
STPSC12065G2-TR from STMicroelectronics is a 650 V, 12 A average forward current silicon carbide Schottky diode in D²PAK HV package, designed for high-efficiency PFC stages and high-frequency DC/DC converters. It delivers zero reverse recovery, temperature-independent switching, 1.30 V typical forward voltage at 12 A, and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature - enabling compact, thermally robust designs in EV charging stations and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the STPSC12065G2-TR datasheet, STPSC12065G2-TR pinout, STPSC12065G2-TR application, or STPSC12065G2-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 5.38 mm minimum anode-to-cathode creepage distance (IEC 60664-1 compliant), negligible capacitive turn-off behavior, and high surge capability (53 A repetitive peak forward current at Tc = 145 °C).
Technical Context
This SiC Schottky diode replaces conventional silicon fast recovery diodes in critical high-voltage, high-frequency switching nodes. Its wide bandgap enables a 650 V blocking rating with no minority-carrier storage, eliminating reverse recovery charge (Qr ≈ 0) and associated switching losses or EMI.
The D²PAK HV package provides enhanced isolation: 5.38 mm minimum creepage between anode and cathode (with top coating), supporting reinforced insulation in AC-DC front-ends. Thermal resistance Rth(j-c) is 0.85 °C/W typ., enabling high-power density operation without forced cooling in PFC boost stages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 650 V - Enables direct use in 400 V DC bus PFC stages with >100 V margin against transients. |
| IF(AV) | 12 A at TC = 145 °C - Sustains continuous conduction in high-duty-cycle boost converters. |
| VF (typ.) | 1.30 V at IF = 12 A, Tj = 25 °C - Reduces conduction loss vs. Si FRD (≈2.0 V), improving efficiency by ~0.5% in 3.3 kW PFC. |
| Tj(max) | 175 °C - Allows derating-free operation in sealed enclosures or high ambient environments (e.g., onboard chargers). |
| QCj | 36 nC at VR = 400 V - Low capacitive charge minimizes turn-off dv/dt-induced displacement current and snubber losses. |
| Rth(j-c) | 0.85 °C/W typ. - Supports >10 W dissipation with moderate heatsinking; enables PCB-only thermal management in low-profile designs. |
| Cj | 750 pF at VR = 0 V - Predictable junction capacitance simplifies EMI filter design and reduces ringing in hard-switched topologies. |
Pinout & Package
Housed in D²PAK HV (High Voltage) package: surface-mount, isolated tab, UL94 V0 epoxy, 15.3–15.8 mm length, 8.95–9.35 mm width, 10.0–10.4 mm height. Anode and cathode terminals are electrically isolated with ≥5.38 mm creepage distance (with conformal coating).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Tab) | High-side power input node | Electrically isolated metal tab serves as primary anode connection and thermal path; requires insulated mounting in high-voltage systems. |
| Cathode (Lead 2) | Low-side output / return path | Single gull-wing lead carries full forward current; layout must minimize loop inductance for high-di/dt PFC operation. |
| NC (Lead 1) | No connection | Unused lead - must remain unconnected and not soldered to avoid internal stress or reliability risk. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No reverse recovery | Eliminates Qr-related switching loss and voltage overshoot, enabling >100 kHz PFC operation without snubbers. |
| Temperature-stable switching | VF drift <0.1 V from 25 °C to 175 °C; Cj and QCj vary <±15% - ensures consistent timing and loss across operating range. |
| D²PAK HV isolation | 5.38 mm min. anode-to-cathode creepage meets IEC 60664-1 reinforced insulation for 400 V AC mains applications. |
| High surge capability | 53 A IFRM (δ = 0.1) supports inrush and overload conditions in EVSE and server PSUs without derating. |
| ECOPACK2 compliance | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with lead-free terminations - satisfies industrial and automotive environmental mandates. |
Applications
| Onboard EV Charger PFC Stage | Industrial 3.3 kW Server PSU |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SiC Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D10065A (Wolfspeed) | Same 650 V / 10 A rating; TO-247-2L package; Rth(j-c) = 0.95 °C/W; VF = 1.45 V typ. at 10 A. | Requires through-hole assembly and larger heatsink footprint; less suitable for space-constrained PFC modules. | Select when legacy TO-247 layout reuse is prioritized over board-area savings and thermal performance. |
| SS12065 (GeneSiC) | 650 V / 12 A; D²PAK package (not HV); creepage = 3.48 mm (no top coating); Rth(j-c) = 1.1 °C/W. | Lacks IEC 60664-1 reinforced insulation; unsuitable for AC-mains-connected equipment without additional spacing. | Acceptable only in low-voltage DC-DC or isolated secondary-side applications where creepage is not safety-critical. |
Compared with C3D10065A and SS12065, STPSC12065G2-TR uniquely combines D²PAK HV's 5.38 mm creepage, lowest Rth(j-c) (0.85 °C/W), and industry-leading VF (1.30 V), making it optimal for safety-certified, high-density PFC designs where thermal headroom and isolation integrity are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The STPSC12065G2-TR supports continuous operation with case temperature up to 145 °C, as validated by its IF(AV) = 12 A rating under DC conditions at that temperature. Exceeding 145 °C requires derating per the thermal curves in DS11623 Rev 3, Figure 3, and junction temperature must remain ≤175 °C.
Can this diode replace a silicon fast recovery diode in an existing PFC design?
Yes - with layout verification. The D²PAK HV footprint matches standard D²PAK land patterns, but its 5.38 mm creepage requires confirmation of PCB spacing compliance. Also verify gate drive timing: absence of reverse recovery eliminates need for dead-time adjustment, potentially allowing higher switching frequency.
Is the NC pin required to be grounded or left floating?
The NC (No Connect) pin - Lead 1 - is internally unconnected and must remain electrically floating and unsoldered. Connecting it risks mechanical stress on the die attach or contamination of the isolation barrier; ST specifies no external connection in all mechanical drawings and application notes.
Does this device require a negative bias during turn-off to prevent parasitic turn-on?
No. As a majority-carrier Schottky diode, STPSC12065G2-TR has no gate terminal and exhibits no parasitic thyristor latch-up or Miller-induced turn-on. It conducts only when forward-biased and blocks fully under reverse bias - no active gate control or negative bias is involved or needed.
