Product details
Overview
STPSC20H065CTY from STMicroelectronics is an automotive-grade 650 V, 2 × 10 A dual silicon carbide Schottky diode in TO-220AB package, designed for hard-switching PFC stages in on-board chargers and DC-DC converters. It delivers negligible reverse recovery, temperature-independent switching, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature with AEC-Q101 qualification.
For engineers reviewing the STPSC20H065CTY datasheet, STPSC20H065CTY pinout, STPSC20H065CTY application, or STPSC20H065CTY equivalent, key selection criteria include its 650 V VRRM, dual-diode thermal coupling behavior, 1.56 V typical forward voltage at 10 A/25 °C, and TO-220AB mechanical footprint compatibility with legacy silicon rectifier layouts.
Technical Context
This dual SiC Schottky diode integrates two independent 650 V, 10 A (Tc = 135 °C) diodes in a single TO-220AB package with shared case thermal path. Its wide-bandgap construction eliminates minority-carrier storage, enabling zero reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0) and minimal capacitive turn-off ringing across –40 to +175 °C operating range.
The device is optimized for continuous conduction mode (CCM) PFC where high-frequency switching (>65 kHz), low EMI, and thermal robustness under surge conditions are critical. Its 90 A non-repetitive surge rating (tp = 10 ms, Tc = 25 °C) and 470 A capability at tp = 10 µs support transient overload resilience without derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 650 V - Enables direct use in 400 V DC-link PFC stages with 50%+ voltage margin against transients. |
| IF(AV) per diode | 10 A at Tc = 135 °C - Sustains continuous 20 A total average current with proper heatsinking and thermal management. |
| VF typ. | 1.56 V at IF = 10 A, Tj = 25 °C - Reduces conduction loss by ~30% vs. comparable Si fast recovery diodes in same package. |
| Rth(j-c) per diode | 1.5 °C/W max - Supports ≤15 W dissipation per diode before exceeding 175 °C junction limit at 135 °C case. |
| IFSM | 90 A (10 ms, Tc = 25 °C) - Withstands inrush currents during cold-start of automotive power supplies without failure. |
| Cj | 480 pF at VR = 0 V - Low capacitance minimizes switching loss and dv/dt-induced gate noise in adjacent MOSFETs. |
| Qcj | 28.5 nC at VR = 400 V - Predictable capacitive charge enables accurate snubber design and EMI filtering. |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AB package with isolated metal tab (heat sink plane), 3-terminal configuration: two anodes (A1, A2) and one common cathode (K). Mounting hole centered on tab; recommended torque 0.4–0.6 N·m.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Anode 1 | Input terminal for first diode leg; electrically isolated from A2 and K; connects to AC input or boost inductor node. |
| A2 | Anode 2 | Input terminal for second diode leg; independent of A1; enables dual-phase or interleaved PFC topologies. |
| K | Common Cathode | Shared output node for both diodes; ties to PFC output capacitor positive rail; serves as primary thermal interface. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No reverse recovery (Qrr ≈ 0) | Eliminates switching tail current and associated losses, enabling >100 kHz PFC operation without efficiency penalty. |
| Temperature-stable VF and Cj | VF increases only 0.42 V from 25 °C to 150 °C; Cj variation <±5% - ensures consistent timing and loss profile across full automotive ambient range. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive powertrain and charging systems per stress test requirements including HTGB, HTRB, and temperature cycling. |
| High surge robustness | 470 A peak surge (10 µs square wave) supports fault-clearing in OCP-protected converters without bond-wire fusing. |
| ECOPACK®2 compliance | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant epoxy meets UL94 V0 flammability rating - satisfies Tier-1 automotive environmental mandates. |
Applications
| On-Board Charger (OBC) PFC Stage | DC-DC Converter Input Rectification |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D06060A | Single 600 V, 6 A diode in TO-220AC; higher VF (1.8 V @ 6 A); no dual-die integration. | Requires two devices and separate mounting for equivalent current rating; less compact than STPSC20H065CTY's dual-anode layout. | Preferred when board space allows discrete placement and thermal isolation between diodes is required. |
| STPSC12H065CWY | Same 650 V rating but 12 A per diode in TO-247; lower Rth(j-c) (0.95 °C/W); 4.43 g mass vs. 1.86 g. | Better thermal performance at high ambient; incompatible footprint - requires PCB redesign and larger heatsink cutout. | Select when thermal budget is constrained and TO-247 mechanical compatibility exists in existing platform. |
Compared with C3D06060A and STPSC12H065CWY, STPSC20H065CTY uniquely balances dual-diode integration, TO-220AB footprint compatibility, and 20 A total average current in a single AEC-Q101-qualified package - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained automotive PFC designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The STPSC20H065CTY supports continuous operation with case temperature up to 135 °C per diode, delivering 10 A average forward current per anode. Exceeding this requires derating per the thermal resistance curve in Figure 6; junction temperature must remain ≤175 °C to avoid thermal runaway.
Can this diode replace a standard silicon fast recovery diode in an existing PFC design?
Yes - the TO-220AB footprint and pinout match legacy silicon rectifiers, enabling drop-in replacement. However, reduced VF and zero Qrr may require minor snubber tuning and gate drive optimization to manage faster dv/dt edges and eliminate parasitic oscillation.
Is the common cathode internally bonded or externally accessible?
The cathode (K) is a single external terminal electrically and thermally connected to both internal diode dies. It is not internally split - both anodes share the same cathode node, confirmed by the device schematic in Section 1 of the datasheet and TO-220AB pin labeling (K, A1, A2).
How does the dual-diode thermal coupling affect derating in high-power applications?
When both diodes conduct simultaneously, junction temperature rise is calculated using ΔTj(diode 1) = P(diode 1) × Rth(j-c) + P(diode 2) × Rth(c), where Rth(c) = 0.4 °C/W represents coupling between dies. This requires joint thermal modeling rather than independent derating.
