Product details
Overview
STTH3006W from STMicroelectronics is an ultrafast high-voltage silicon rectifier diode using Turbo 2 technology, rated for 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 30 A average forward current, and 50 ns maximum reverse recovery time. It serves as a boost diode in continuous-conduction-mode PFC circuits and as a freewheeling diode in hard-switching SMPS topologies.
For engineers reviewing the STTH3006W datasheet, STTH3006W pinout, STTH3006W application, or STTH3006W equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery time under dIF/dt stress, thermal resistance (1.1 °C/W junction-to-case), softness factor, conduction loss equation (P = 1.07 × IF(AV) + 0.011 × IF²(RMS)), and insulated DO-247 package compliance with 2500 VRMS isolation.
Technical Context
This device implements ST's Turbo 2 600 V process to achieve low Qrr and controlled soft recovery-critical for minimizing EMI and switching losses in high-frequency PFC stages. Its 1.10 V typical forward voltage at 150 °C and 30 A enables efficient conduction while maintaining low thermal resistance.
The DO-247 package provides 2500 VRMS insulation and 1.1 °C/W Rth(j-c), enabling direct heatsink mounting without additional isolation hardware. Dynamic performance is characterized at dIF/dt up to –100 A/µs, with IRM ≤ 11 A and trr ≤ 50 ns at Tj = 125 °C, VR = 400 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Withstands repetitive reverse voltage up to 600 V, suitable for universal-input 85–265 VAC PFC front-ends. |
| IF(AV) | 30 A at TC = 115 °C - Sustains average forward current in high-power boost converters without derating below 115 °C case temperature. |
| trr (max) | 50 ns - Enables operation at switching frequencies >100 kHz with minimal turn-off loss and reduced snubber requirements. |
| VF (typ.) | 1.10 V at Tj = 150 °C, IF = 30 A - Low conduction loss improves efficiency in high-current, high-temperature power stages. |
| Rth(j-c) | 1.1 °C/W - Efficient heat transfer to heatsink supports compact thermal design in space-constrained industrial PSUs. |
| IRM (max) | 11 A at Tj = 125 °C - Limits peak reverse recovery current to reduce voltage overshoot across switching MOSFETs. |
| Softness factor | ≤0.6 at dIF/dt = 200 A/µs - Suppresses voltage ringing and EMI during diode turn-off in hard-switched topologies. |
Pinout & Package
The STTH3006W uses the insulated DO-247 package (ECOPACK® compliant, UL94 V0 epoxy), featuring a single-anode/single-cathode configuration with metal case acting as cathode terminal and electrically isolated from heatsink via 2500 VRMS dielectric strength.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (lead) | Forward current entry point | Connected to input side of boost inductor or switch node; must withstand surge current up to 300 A (10 ms sine). |
| Cathode (case) | Forward current exit / thermal path | Electrically isolated metal case serves as cathode and primary heatsink interface; requires torque of 0.55 N·m. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultrafast recovery | trr ≤ 50 ns ensures minimal switching loss and compatibility with 100–300 kHz PFC controllers. |
| Low thermal resistance | Rth(j-c) = 1.1 °C/W enables direct-mount thermal management without insulating pads in high-power designs. |
| Controlled soft recovery | Softness factor ≤ 0.6 reduces EMI generation and voltage spikes during turn-off in hard-switched converters. |
| High surge capability | IFS M = 300 A (10 ms sine) supports robust startup and fault transient handling in industrial PSUs. |
| Insulated package | DOP3I variant offers 2500 VRMS isolation; DO-247 version maintains same isolation rating with optimized mechanical footprint. |
Applications
| Industrial Switch-Mode Power Supplies | Server & Telecom Rectification |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Freewheeling diode in synchronous rectified LLC resonant converter with fast dIF/dt transitions. Use Value: Soft recovery behavior limits voltage overshoot across primary-side MOSFETs, reducing need for clamping components. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS MUR3060CT | 600 V, 30 A dual common-cathode TO-247; trr = 60 ns (max); Rth(j-c) = 1.5 °C/W | Requires dual-diode layout; higher trr increases switching loss in >150 kHz PFC | Prefer when dual-diode topology is fixed and thermal margin allows higher Rth(j-c) |
| Vishay VS-30E60-M3 | 600 V, 30 A TO-220AC; trr = 55 ns (max); no isolation; Rth(j-c) = 2.0 °C/W | Lacks 2500 VRMS isolation; unsuitable for direct heatsink mounting without insulator | Select only where isolation is handled externally and board space permits larger thermal pad area |
Compared with MUR3060CT and VS-30E60-M3, STTH3006W delivers lower trr, superior thermal resistance, and built-in isolation-making it optimal for compact, high-frequency, heatsink-integrated PFC and freewheeling designs where layout simplicity and EMI control are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The STTH3006W supports continuous operation at TC = 115 °C for its full 30 A IF(AV) rating. Exceeding this temperature requires linear derating per Figure 1 in the datasheet; at TC = 100 °C, IF(AV) rises to ~33 A, while at TC = 85 °C it reaches ~36 A. Thermal design must maintain case temperature within this limit using the specified 0.55 N·m mounting torque and flat, clean heatsink surface.
Does STTH3006W require a heatsink in all applications?
Yes-due to its 30 A IF(AV) rating and 1.1 °C/W Rth(j-c), the STTH3006W must be mounted on a thermally adequate heatsink to prevent junction temperature exceeding 175 °C. Without heatsinking, even brief operation at rated current causes rapid thermal runaway. The DO-247 package is designed for direct attachment to heatsinks, and thermal interface material is not required if surface flatness and torque specifications are met.
How does the softness factor impact EMI in PFC designs?
A softness factor ≤0.6 means the diode's reverse recovery current decays gradually rather than abruptly, suppressing high-frequency spectral content above 30 MHz. This directly reduces conducted EMI in Class B PFC stages, often eliminating the need for additional ferrite beads or RC snubbers on the boost diode leg-verified in ST application note AN4745 for 3 kW PFC reference designs.
Can STTH3006W replace STTH3006PI in the same PCB footprint?
No-STTH3006W (DO-247) and STTH3006PI (DOP3I) have mechanically incompatible packages. DO-247 has a 5.0 mm lead pitch and 20.0 mm body length; DOP3I measures 15.5 mm × 21.1 mm with different mounting hole positions and torque specs (0.9–1.2 N·m vs. 0.55 N·m). Board redesign is required for substitution, though both share identical electrical characteristics and 2500 VRMS isolation.
