Product details
Overview
STPSC30G12WL from STMicroelectronics is a 1200 V, 30 A silicon carbide Schottky power diode in DO-247 LL package, designed for high-efficiency hard-switching PFC and DC/DC stages. It delivers negligible reverse recovery, temperature-independent switching, 1.35 V typical forward voltage at 30 A, 296 mJ avalanche energy rating, and operation up to 175 °C junction temperature - enabling robust use in solar inverters and EV on-board chargers.
For engineers reviewing the STPSC30G12WL datasheet, STPSC30G12WL pinout, STPSC30G12WL application, or STPSC30G12WL equivalent, key selection criteria include its zero-recovery behavior, high surge current capability (250 A @ 10 ms), low thermal resistance (0.30 °C/W typ.), and ECOPACK2 compliance for industrial and automotive-grade power systems.
Technical Context
This SiC Schottky diode replaces conventional silicon fast recovery diodes and SiC JBS structures by eliminating minority-carrier storage and associated reverse recovery charge. Its wide band-gap material enables stable 1200 V blocking with low VF and minimal capacitive turn-off transients across -55 °C to +175 °C.
The device uses a planar Schottky barrier structure on semi-insulating SiC substrate, delivering <150 nC total capacitive charge at 800 V and 2272 pF junction capacitance at 0 V - critical for reducing EMI and snubber losses in high-frequency (>10 kHz) PFC and DC/DC converters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1200 V - Enables direct use in 1000 V DC bus systems without derating, supporting single-stage boost PFC in solar and EV charging. |
| IF(AV) | 30 A @ Tc = 145 °C - Sustains continuous conduction in high-power AC/DC front-ends with minimal heatsink requirements. |
| VF (typ.) | 1.35 V @ IF = 30 A, Tj = 25 °C - Reduces conduction loss to ~40.5 W (vs. ~60 W for Si FRD), improving system efficiency by 0.5–1.2%. |
| EAS | 296 mJ @ IAS = 7.7 A, L = 10 mH - Provides validated avalanche ruggedness during transient overvoltage events in unclamped inductive switching. |
| Rth(j-c) | 0.30 °C/W (typ.) - Enables high power density layout with ≤30 K temperature rise at 100 W dissipation, simplifying thermal design. |
| IFSM | 250 A @ tp = 10 ms (sinusoidal), Tc = 25 °C - Supports reliable startup and fault-current handling in UPS and server PSUs without derating. |
| Cj | 2272 pF @ VR = 0 V - Low junction capacitance minimizes displacement current and dv/dt-induced false triggering in gate-drive circuits. |
Pinout & Package
STPSC30G12WL is housed in a DO-247 LL (Long Lead) package with two terminals: anode and cathode. The package features epoxy meeting UL94 V0, 0.8 N·m recommended mounting torque, and optimized thermal path via case conduction. Dimensions are fully specified per ST DS14115 Rev 1, page 6–7.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point under forward bias | Connected to input side of boost inductor or bridge leg; must handle full load current and surge peaks up to 250 A. |
| Cathode | Current exit point under forward bias | Connected to switching node (e.g., MOSFET drain); requires low-inductance PCB routing to minimize voltage overshoot. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0) | Eliminates reverse recovery losses and associated EMI, enabling >100 kHz operation without snubbers. |
| Temperature-stable switching behavior | Capacitive turn-off characteristics remain unchanged from -55 °C to +175 °C - no timing drift in thermal cycling. |
| Avalanche energy rated (296 mJ) | Guarantees safe operation during inductive switching faults without parameter degradation or failure. |
| High surge current capability (250 A) | Withstands cold-start surges and line transients in telecom/server PSUs and EV OBCs without derating. |
| ECOPACK2 compliance | Meets RoHS, halogen-free, and lead-free assembly requirements for global industrial and automotive 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3D30120D (Wolfspeed) | Same 1200 V/30 A rating; VF = 1.5 V (typ.) at 30 A; Rth(j-c) = 0.35 °C/W; DO-247 package (standard lead length) | Higher VF increases conduction loss by ~4.5 W at full load; slightly lower surge rating (220 A) | Select when legacy DO-247 footprint compatibility is required and 0.15 V VF penalty is acceptable. |
| SS120030 (ROHM) | 1200 V/30 A; VF = 1.45 V (typ.); Rth(j-c) = 0.32 °C/W; TO-247-2L package with shorter leads | TO-247-2L has higher parasitic inductance than DO-247 LL; no avalanche rating published | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial PSUs where avalanche ruggedness is not mandated and layout allows longer loop paths. |
Compared with C3D30120D and SS120030, STPSC30G12WL offers the lowest VF (1.35 V), best thermal resistance (0.30 °C/W), and certified avalanche energy (296 mJ), making it optimal for high-reliability, high-frequency, and thermally constrained applications like EV OBCs and solar inverters.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The STPSC30G12WL supports continuous operation with case temperature up to 145 °C, as defined by its IF(AV) = 30 A rating. At Tc = 145 °C and Tj = 175 °C, the device maintains full 30 A average forward current capability without derating, provided thermal interface resistance and heatsink design maintain junction temperature within limits.
Does this diode require a gate resistor or snubber circuit?
No - the STPSC30G12WL is a two-terminal Schottky diode with no gate terminal and exhibits negligible reverse recovery charge (Qrr ≈ 0). Snubber circuits are unnecessary in most hard-switching applications; only minimal RC damping may be needed for ultra-high dv/dt environments (>50 V/ns) to suppress parasitic oscillation from layout inductance.
How does its avalanche rating compare to standard silicon diodes?
Unlike standard silicon diodes - which lack guaranteed avalanche capability - the STPSC30G12WL is fully rated for single-pulse avalanche energy (EAS = 296 mJ) under defined test conditions (IAS = 7.7 A, L = 10 mH). This enables safe operation during unclamped inductive switching events without parameter shift or catastrophic failure, a key differentiator for reliability-critical PFC stages.
Can STPSC30G12WL replace STPSC20G12WL in existing designs?
Yes - both share identical DO-247 LL package, pinout, and voltage rating (1200 V), but STPSC30G12WL offers higher IF(AV) (30 A vs. 20 A) and improved IFSM (250 A vs. 180 A). Thermal design must verify that increased conduction current does not exceed heatsink capacity; otherwise, it serves as a direct performance upgrade with no layout change required.
