Product details
Overview
STTH112A from STMicroelectronics is an ultrafast high-voltage planar silicon rectifier diode in SMA package, rated for 1200 V repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM), 1 A average forward current (IF(AV)), and 1.65 V maximum forward voltage drop at 125 °C - optimized for snubber, clamping, and freewheeling in offline switch-mode power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the STTH112A datasheet, STTH112A pinout, STTH112A application, or STTH112A equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery time (75 ns), soft-switching behavior, thermal resistance (Rth(j-l) = 30 °C/W), junction temperature limit (+175 °C), and cathode-band polarity marking on the SMA body.
Technical Context
The STTH112A employs ST's proprietary planar ultrafast technology to achieve low stored charge and controlled minority-carrier lifetime, enabling soft reverse recovery with minimal EMI generation. Its 75 ns trr (at IF = 0.5 A, IRR = 0.25 A) and 500 ns tfr support high-frequency operation up to 100 kHz in flyback and forward converters.
Thermal design is enabled by a low junction-to-lead thermal resistance of 30 °C/W (L = 10 mm), validated for epoxy FR4 PCBs with copper surface area ≥2 cm² per lead. The device operates reliably up to +175 °C junction temperature and withstands 18 A non-repetitive surge current (t = 8.3 ms).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 1200 V - supports 850 V RMS input in universal AC-DC front-ends without derating |
| IF(AV) | 1 A at TL = 115 °C - defines continuous conduction capability in TO-220-equivalent thermal conditions |
| VF (max) | 1.65 V at IF = 1 A, Tj = 125 °C - sets conduction loss ceiling of ~1.65 W in worst-case thermal condition |
| trr | 75 ns - enables clean turn-off in 100 kHz+ switching topologies with minimal voltage overshoot |
| Rth(j-l) | 30 °C/W - allows direct thermal coupling to PCB copper for passive heatsinking without external metalwork |
| Tj(max) | +175 °C - permits operation in sealed industrial enclosures with ambient up to +105 °C |
| IFSM | 18 A (8.3 ms) - handles inrush and transient overloads in AC line rectification stages |
Pinout & Package
The STTH112A is housed in an SMA (DO-214AC) surface-mount plastic package with cathode indicated by a band on the body. Lead length is specified at 10 mm for thermal testing; standard footprint matches JEDEC MS-013.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Forward current entry point | Connected to switching node (e.g., MOSFET drain) in freewheeling path |
| Cathode | Forward current exit / reverse-blocking terminal | Marked with band; ties to output rail or clamp capacitor in snubber circuits |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Soft switching behavior | Controlled reverse recovery minimizes voltage ringing and EMI in high-dV/dt environments |
| High surge current rating | 18 A single-pulse capability protects against line transients and startup surges |
| Low forward voltage drop | 1.17 V typical at 125 °C reduces conduction losses vs. standard fast rectifiers |
| Planar junction construction | Ensures consistent trr and VF across production lots and temperature range |
| ECOPACK® compliant | Meets RoHS and halogen-free requirements without compromising thermal or electrical performance |
Applications
| AC-DC Adapter Output Rectification | Snubber Network Diode |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Secondary-side rectification in 12–24 V, 10–30 W offline adapters with universal AC input. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode conducting during MOSFET off-time; synchronizes with primary-side PWM frequency (65–100 kHz). Use Value: 75 ns trr prevents overlap conduction loss; 1.65 V VF limits dissipation to <1.7 W at full load. | Use Scenario: RCD snubber across MOSFET drain-source in flyback converters operating at 65 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamps voltage spikes during MOSFET turn-off; conducts only during brief energy transfer pulses. Use Value: Soft recovery avoids secondary ringing; 1200 V VRRM provides 2× margin over 600 V MOSFET breakdown. |
| DC-DC Converter Freewheeling | Inductive Load Demagnetization |
Use Scenario: Output rectifier in isolated 48 V input telecom DC-DC modules delivering 3.3/5/12 V at ≤5 A. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Conducts freewheel current during synchronous rectifier off-phase; duty cycle dependent on load and regulation. Use Value: 175 °C Tj(max) supports compact layout with limited airflow; 30 °C/W Rth(j-l) enables direct PCB thermal relief. | Use Scenario: Demagnetization path for relay coils or solenoid drivers in industrial PLC I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides low-impedance path for inductive kickback; activated only during coil de-energization events. Use Value: 18 A IFSM safely absorbs 100 ms coil release energy; cathode band ensures unambiguous polarity mounting. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast high-voltage rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor MUR1120 | VRRM = 1200 V, IF(AV) = 1 A, trr = 75 ns, VF = 1.7 V (max), DO-41/SMA | Higher VF increases conduction loss by ~3% at 1 A; identical trr and thermal specs | Select when DO-41 through-hole mounting is required or when sourcing diversity is prioritized |
| Vishay VS-1EWH12 | VRRM = 1200 V, IF(AV) = 1 A, trr = 65 ns, VF = 1.6 V (max), SMA | 10 ns faster trr improves EMI margin; slightly lower VF reduces loss but requires validation of softness | Prefer for noise-sensitive medical or audio power supplies where sub-70 ns recovery is critical |
Compared with MUR1120 and VS-1EWH12, the STTH112A offers balanced softness and loss, verified thermal performance on FR4, and ECOPACK® compliance - making it optimal for cost-sensitive industrial adapters where reliability and manufacturability are prioritized over marginal speed gains.

FAQ
What is the cathode identification method for STTH112A?
The cathode is marked by a distinct color band on the SMA package body, aligned with the cathode terminal. This band must be oriented toward the positive rail or clamp capacitor in snubber/freewheeling configurations. Mechanical polarity is confirmed by the flat side of the SMA outline matching the cathode pad on the PCB footprint.
Can STTH112A replace standard fast recovery diodes in existing designs?
Yes - STTH112A can directly replace 1 A, 1200 V fast recovery diodes (e.g., UF4007) in most cases. Its lower trr (75 ns vs. 75–100 ns) and softer recovery reduce EMI, but layout parasitics must be reviewed to avoid unintended oscillation due to faster edge rates.
What is the minimum recommended copper area per lead for thermal performance?
ST specifies ≥2 cm² of 35 µm-thick copper per lead on FR4 for optimal Rth(j-a) performance. With 2 cm², Rth(j-a) drops to ~65 °C/W; below 1 cm², junction temperature rise exceeds safe margins at full IF(AV).
Is STTH112A suitable for automotive under-hood applications?
No - STTH112A is not qualified to AEC-Q101 and lacks automotive-grade screening or extended temperature validation beyond +175 °C junction. It is intended for industrial, computing, and consumer power supplies where ambient temperatures remain ≤105 °C and no automotive qualification is mandated.
