Product details
Overview
STTH5L06D from STMicroelectronics is a 600 V, 5 A ultrafast high-voltage rectifier diode in TO-220AC package, optimized for continuous-conduction-mode (CCM) PFC boost stages and hard-switching freewheeling applications. It delivers 65 ns typical reverse recovery time, 0.85 V typical forward voltage at 150 °C, and 175 °C maximum junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the STTH5L06D datasheet, STTH5L06D pinout, STTH5L06D application, or STTH5L06D equivalent, key selection criteria include trr < 95 ns, VF ≤ 1.05 V at 150 °C, IR ≤ 125 µA at 150 °C/600 V, and thermal resistance Rth(j-c) = 3.5 °C/W - critical for high-efficiency AC-DC front-end and industrial SMPS designs.
Technical Context
This device implements ST's Turbo 2 600 V silicon process, enabling low Qrr (typ. 45 nC at dIF/dt = 50 A/µs) and soft reverse recovery (S-factor > 1.0), reducing EMI and snubber losses in high-frequency switching converters. Its low thermal resistance supports direct heatsink mounting without isolation pads in TO-220AC configuration.
The diode operates with rated IF(AV) = 5 A at TC = 150 °C and withstands IFSM = 90 A (10 ms sine), making it suitable for transient-heavy industrial power supplies and UPS systems where reliability under surge conditions is essential.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - blocks full bridge rectified line voltage up to 400 VAC RMS with safety margin. |
| IF(AV) | 5 A at TC = 150 °C - defines continuous conduction capability in thermally constrained PFC boost diodes. |
| trr (typ) | 65 ns - enables operation up to ~300 kHz switching frequency before recovery loss dominates efficiency. |
| VF (typ) | 0.85 V at Tj = 150 °C / IF = 5 A - reduces conduction loss to ~4.25 W in boost diode position. |
| Rth(j-c) | 3.5 °C/W - allows 35 °C temperature rise across junction-to-case at 10 W dissipation, supporting compact heatsinking. |
| IR (max) | 125 µA at Tj = 150 °C / VR = 600 V - ensures minimal leakage-induced standby loss in high-voltage hold-up circuits. |
Pinout & Package
TO-220AC package: insulated metal tab (cathode), two leads - anode (pin 1), cathode (pin 2). Tab is electrically connected to cathode and serves as primary thermal path. Mounting torque: 0.55 N·m (recommended), max 0.7 N·m.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 1) | Forward current entry point | Connected to switch node in boost topology; must handle 65 A peak repetitive current. |
| Cathode (Lead 2) | Forward current exit / reverse blocking terminal | Electrically tied to insulated metal tab; requires heatsink isolation if chassis-ground referenced. |
| Tab (Cathode) | Thermal interface & electrical cathode | Provides low-impedance thermal path (Rth(j-c) = 3.5 °C/W); must be mounted with thermal compound and insulator per UL 2000 VRMS rating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultrafast switching | 65 ns trr enables high-frequency (>200 kHz) PFC operation with minimal recovery loss and EMI. |
| Low Qrr | Typ. 45 nC at dIF/dt = 50 A/µs reduces snubber energy and stress on MOSFETs in hard-switched topologies. |
| Soft recovery (S-factor > 1.0) | Minimizes voltage overshoot and ringing during turn-off, easing EMI filter design and improving system reliability. |
| 175 °C max junction temperature | Supports operation in high-ambient environments (e.g., enclosed industrial PSUs) without derating at full load. |
| ECOPACK®2 compliance | Meets RoHS and halogen-free requirements for global industrial and energy infrastructure deployments. |
Applications
| Server Power Supply | Industrial UPS |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Boost diode in active PFC stage of 1–3 kW telecom/server PSU operating in CCM at 100–300 kHz. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage rectifier conducting during MOSFET off-time; handles 5 A average and 65 A peak forward current. Use Value: 65 ns trr and soft recovery reduce MOSFET voltage spikes and conduction loss by ~1.2 W vs. standard fast diodes, improving overall efficiency by 0.4%. |
Use Scenario: Freewheeling diode across IGBTs in DC-link chopper stage of 5–10 kVA industrial UPS inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamps inductive kickback during IGBT turn-off; sustains 600 V reverse bias with <125 µA leakage at 150 °C. Use Value: Low Rth(j-c) = 3.5 °C/W enables direct heatsink mounting without thermal derating, maintaining 98% system availability under 40 °C ambient. |
| Solar Microinverter | EV Onboard Charger |
|
Use Scenario: Output rectifier in interleaved LLC resonant converter of 300–500 W solar microinverter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous rectification alternative in high-VF, low-trr niche; conducts bidirectionally in half-wave mode with 0.85 V VF at 150 °C. Use Value: 175 °C Tj rating allows operation without forced air cooling in sealed outdoor enclosures, extending MTBF by 35% over 150 °C-rated diodes. |
Use Scenario: Boost diode in 3.3–6.6 kW AC/DC stage of EV onboard charger using SiC MOSFETs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Handles 600 V reverse stress and 5 A average current while coexisting with 100+ kHz SiC switching edges. Use Value: Soft recovery (S-factor > 1.0) suppresses 10–30 MHz ringing induced by SiC dv/dt, reducing conducted EMI by 8 dBµV in CISPR-25 Class 5 testing. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH8L06D | 8 A IF(AV), same VRRM/trr/Rth(j-c); larger die, higher IFSM (120 A). | Better suited for 6–8 A PFC stages; requires same TO-220AC footprint but higher thermal mass. | Select when average current exceeds 5.5 A or surge robustness >90 A is required. |
| IXYS MUR560E | 5 A/600 V, trr = 75 ns (typ), VF = 1.15 V (typ @ 150 °C), Rth(j-c) = 4.0 °C/W. | Higher VF increases conduction loss by ~1.5 W at 5 A; slightly slower recovery raises EMI risk in >250 kHz designs. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive 100–200 kHz designs where 0.3 V VF penalty is tolerable. |
Compared with STTH8L06D, STTH5L06D offers tighter thermal budget control in space-constrained PFC modules; versus MUR560E, it delivers measurable efficiency gain (0.3–0.5%) and lower EMI in high-frequency industrial SMPS due to superior trr/VF trade-off.

FAQ
Is STTH5L06D pin-compatible with STTH5L06?
No. STTH5L06 uses DO-201AD package (axial lead), while STTH5L06D uses TO-220AC (3-lead, insulated tab). Pin count, mechanical layout, thermal path, and mounting method differ fundamentally. PCB footprints and heatsink interfaces are not interchangeable.
What is the maximum recommended mounting torque for STTH5L06D?
The recommended torque for STTH5L06D's TO-220AC package is 0.55 N·m. The absolute maximum allowable torque is 0.7 N·m. Exceeding this risks cracking the epoxy body or deforming the leadframe, compromising thermal performance and long-term reliability.
Does STTH5L06D require a thermal pad or insulator when mounted to a heatsink?
Yes. The metal tab is electrically connected to the cathode and rated for 2000 VRMS insulation. An electrically isolating thermal pad (e.g., mica or ceramic) plus thermal compound must be used unless the heatsink is fully floating. UL certification requires validated isolation materials.
Can STTH5L06D replace a standard FR107 in a 600 V flyback design?
Yes, but with design validation. STTH5L06D offers 65 ns trr vs. FR107's ~500 ns, reducing switching loss and EMI. However, its VF is higher (0.85 V vs. ~0.95 V at 25 °C), and thermal design must accommodate Rth(j-c) = 3.5 °C/W. Layout changes may be needed for TO-220AC footprint and heatsinking.
