Product details
Overview
STPSC20H065CT from STMicroelectronics is a 650 V, 2 × 10 A dual silicon carbide Schottky diode in TO-220AB package, designed for high-efficiency PFC stages in AC/DC power supplies. It delivers negligible reverse recovery, temperature-independent switching, and 90 A non-repetitive surge capability at 25 °C - enabling robust operation in hard-switching boost converters.
For engineers reviewing the STPSC20H065CT datasheet, STPSC20H065CT pinout, STPSC20H065CT application, or STPSC20H065CT equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.56 V typical forward voltage at 10 A/25 °C, 28.5 nC capacitive charge at 400 V, junction-to-case thermal resistance of 1.5 °C/W per diode, and suitability for continuous conduction mode (CCM) PFC designs requiring >98% efficiency.
Technical Context
This dual SiC Schottky diode integrates two independent 650 V, 10 A diodes in a single TO-220AB package with common cathode (K) and separate anodes (A1, A2). Its wide-bandgap silicon carbide construction eliminates minority-carrier storage, resulting in zero reverse recovery charge and minimal switching losses across –40 to +175 °C operating range.
The device operates with fixed thermal coupling between diodes (Rth(c) = 0.4 °C/W), enabling accurate loss-sharing analysis in parallel configurations. Conduction loss modeling uses P = 1.35 × IF(AV) + 0.115 × IF(RMS)2, validated for Tc = 135 °C and DC conditions per diode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 650 V - supports 400 V AC input rectified to ~565 V DC bus with 15% margin for transient overvoltage in industrial PFC stages |
| IF(AV) | 2 × 10 A - dual-diode rating allows interleaved or phase-split PFC with 20 A total average current handling |
| VF @ 10 A, 25 °C | 1.56 V (typ) - reduces conduction loss by ~30% vs. comparable Si fast recovery diodes in 2–3 kW PFC designs |
| Qcj @ 400 V | 28.5 nC - enables low EMI and reduced turn-off dv/dt stress on MOSFETs in high-frequency (>100 kHz) boost converters |
| Rth(j-c) | 1.5 °C/W per diode - ensures ≤15 °C junction rise above case at 10 A DC, supporting heatsink-limited thermal design |
| IFSM | 90 A @ 10 ms sinusoidal - withstands inrush currents during cold-start of server PSUs without derating |
| Tj(max) | +175 °C - permits operation in high-ambient environments (e.g., enclosed telecom rectifiers) without forced air cooling |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated mounting tab (electrically connected to cathode K), epoxy body compliant with UL94 V0, and recommended torque of 0.4–0.6 N·m.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Anode 1 | Connects to first boost switch leg; enables dual-phase PFC with independent gate drive control |
| A2 | Anode 2 | Connects to second boost switch leg; shares cathode path to reduce layout parasitics in interleaved topologies |
| K | Common Cathode | Single low-inductance return path to bulk capacitor negative; critical for minimizing ground bounce in high-dI/dt PFC |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No reverse recovery | Zero Qrr eliminates switching loss and EMI spikes during diode turn-off in hard-switched PFC |
| Temperature-stable switching | Capacitive turn-off behavior unchanged from –40 to +175 °C - avoids timing drift in thermally varying enclosures |
| Dual-diode integration | Two matched SiC dies in one TO-220AB footprint reduce PCB area by 40% vs. discrete dual-SiC solutions |
| High surge robustness | 90 A IFSM at 25 °C supports 3× rated current surges during line dips or brownouts without bond-wire failure |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage SiC Schottky diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D20065D (Wolfspeed) | Single 20 A / 650 V die in TO-247; no dual-anode configuration | Requires two devices for dual-phase PFC; higher layout complexity and thermal coupling uncertainty | Select when board space allows discrete placement and independent thermal management is preferred |
| SS120HE65 (Littelfuse) | 2 × 10 A dual diode in TO-220AC; 1.75 V VF @ 10 A/25 °C (0.19 V higher than STPSC20H065CT) | Higher conduction loss increases heatsink requirements in 2 kW+ designs; same pinout but lower surge rating (75 A) | Select only for cost-sensitive, lower-power (<1.5 kW) PFC where 0.19 V VF penalty is acceptable |
Compared with C3D20065D and SS120HE65, STPSC20H065CT uniquely combines dual-anode integration, lowest VF in class, and highest IFSM, making it optimal for compact, high-efficiency, thermally constrained PFC modules where layout simplicity and surge margin are critical.

FAQ
Is STPSC20H065CT suitable for use in automotive applications?
No. STMicroelectronics explicitly states this device is not designed or authorized for automotive, safety-critical, or aerospace applications. Its qualification excludes AEC-Q101 stress testing and automotive-grade reliability screening. Use only in industrial, telecom, or server power systems per the manufacturer's safety disclaimer.
What is the maximum recommended mounting torque for the TO-220AB package?
The datasheet specifies a torque range of 0.4 to 0.6 N·m for the TO-220AB mounting screw. Exceeding 0.6 N·m risks cracking the epoxy body or damaging internal wire bonds; applying less than 0.4 N·m may cause poor thermal contact and localized hot spots under full load.
How does the dual-diode configuration affect thermal performance?
Thermal coupling between diodes is quantified as Rth(c) = 0.4 °C/W. When both diodes conduct simultaneously, junction temperature rise is calculated as ΔTj(diode 1) = P(diode 1) × Rth(j-c) + P(diode 2) × Rth(c), requiring co-optimized heatsinking to avoid thermal runaway in unbalanced load conditions.
Can STPSC20H065CT replace standard silicon diodes in existing PFC designs without layout changes?
Yes, if the original design used a TO-220AB dual-diode package with identical pinout (A1–A2–K). However, gate drive timing and snubber components must be re-evaluated: zero Qrr eliminates need for RC snubbers, but faster dv/dt may require tighter gate resistor tuning to prevent false triggering of upstream MOSFETs.
