Product details
Overview
STTH30S06W from STMicroelectronics is a 600 V, 30 A ultrafast recovery rectifier diode in TO-247AC package, featuring 35 ns reverse recovery time, 2.1 V forward voltage at 30 A, and 150 °C maximum junction temperature. It serves as a primary output rectifier in high-frequency switch-mode power supplies for telecom and industrial AC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the STTH30S06W datasheet, STTH30S06W pinout, STTH30S06W application, or STTH30S06W equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse recovery performance under hard-switching conditions, thermal resistance in forced-air-cooled designs, SOA compliance at 100 kHz switching frequency, and replacement viability for legacy 600 V fast diodes in PFC and LLC resonant stages.
Technical Context
This device employs a platinum-doped silicon epitaxial structure to achieve controlled minority-carrier lifetime, enabling ultrafast recovery with low reverse recovery charge (Qrr = 55 nC typical at IF = 30 A, dIr/dt = 100 A/µs). Its soft recovery characteristic minimizes EMI generation during turn-off.
The diode is optimized for operation in continuous conduction mode (CCM) and transition mode (TM) PFC boost stages, supporting peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) of 600 V and non-repetitive peak forward surge current (IFSM) of 220 A at 10 ms half-sine wave.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Withstands peak reverse voltage in 400 V DC bus applications with 50 V margin. |
| IF(AV) | 30 A - Average forward current rating at Tc = 130 °C, suitable for 500–1000 W power stages. |
| trr | 35 ns - Enables stable operation up to 200 kHz without excessive switching loss or ringing. |
| VF @ 30 A | 2.1 V - Contributes ~63 W conduction loss at full load; requires heatsinking per RthJC = 0.55 °C/W. |
| Qrr | 55 nC - Low stored charge reduces diode-induced MOSFET turn-on loss in synchronous rectification topologies. |
| Tj max | 150 °C - Supports operation in sealed industrial enclosures with limited airflow. |
Pinout & Package
TO-247AC package: isolated tab, single-diode configuration with anode and cathode terminals only. Mounting hole centered on metal tab for mechanical fixation and thermal transfer to heatsink.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Pin 1) | Input terminal for forward current flow | Connected to switching node (e.g., MOSFET drain in boost PFC); must withstand dv/dt transients up to 500 V/µs. |
| Cathode (Pin 2) | Output terminal for forward current flow | Connected to output capacitor rail; carries full load current and must be routed with low-inductance layout. |
| Tab (Metal Case) | Thermal path and electrical isolation point | Electrically isolated from die; used for heatsink attachment; RthJC = 0.55 °C/W measured from junction to case surface. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultrafast soft recovery | 35 ns trr with softness factor >1 - Reduces voltage overshoot and EMI in hard-switched converters. |
| Low Qrr | 55 nC at rated conditions - Cuts MOSFET turn-on loss by up to 30% vs. standard fast diodes in bridgeless PFC. |
| High surge capability | 220 A IFSM (10 ms) - Survives inrush and line-dip events without degradation in 3-phase rectifier front-ends. |
| Optimized thermal design | RthJC = 0.55 °C/W - Enables compact heatsink sizing in space-constrained 1U server PSUs. |
Applications
| Telecom Rectification | Industrial SMPS |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current unidirectional conduction element subjected to 150 A peak surge during motor startup. Use Value: 220 A IFSM rating eliminates need for parallel diodes, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ultrafast rectifier applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IXYS MUR3060CT | 600 V, 30 A dual common-cathode configuration; trr = 45 ns; higher Qrr (72 nC) | Requires separate layout for dual-channel use; less optimal for single-diode PFC stages | Select when dual-diode integration reduces board area in bridge configurations. |
| Vishay VS-30CPH06 | 600 V, 30 A; trr = 30 ns; lower VF (1.95 V); TO-247AD package with insulated tab | Insulated tab simplifies mounting but adds 0.25 °C/W thermal penalty | Prefer where electrical isolation from heatsink is mandatory and 0.15 V lower VF justifies cost premium. |
Compared with MUR3060CT and VS-30CPH06, STTH30S06W offers best balance of soft recovery, thermal resistance, and cost for single-diode PFC and LLC rectification-especially where heatsink grounding is acceptable and layout space favors monolithic TO-247AC footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous operation?
The STTH30S06W is rated for continuous operation with case temperature (Tc) up to 130 °C, corresponding to its 30 A average forward current rating. Exceeding this requires derating per the datasheet's IF(AV) vs. Tc curve; at Tc = 100 °C, it supports up to 38 A average current with adequate heatsinking.
Does STTH30S06W have avalanche capability?
No, STTH30S06W is not rated for repetitive avalanche operation. Its absolute maximum rating specifies only non-repetitive peak reverse voltage (VRRM = 600 V) and peak surge current (IFSM). Avalanche energy testing is not characterized, and operation beyond VRRM may cause irreversible failure.
Can STTH30S06W replace STTH30L06 in existing designs?
Yes, STTH30S06W can directly replace STTH30L06 (600 V, 30 A, trr = 50 ns) due to identical pinout, package, and voltage/current ratings. The 15 ns faster recovery improves efficiency in high-frequency designs but does not require layout changes or gate drive adjustments.
Is the TO-247AC tab electrically isolated?
No, the metal tab of the STTH30S06W in TO-247AC package is electrically connected to the cathode. This requires insulating hardware (e.g., shoulder washers, mica pads) when mounting to grounded heatsinks. For isolated-tab alternatives, consider TO-247AD variants like VS-30CPH06.
