Product details
Overview
STTH806DIRG from STMicroelectronics is a 600 V, 8 A ultrafast high-voltage rectifier diode in an insulated TO-220AC package, featuring 35 ns reverse recovery time, 1.1 V typical forward voltage at 150 °C, and 2500 VRMS insulation rating. It is engineered for high-efficiency switching power supplies and industrial AC/DC converters where low conduction and switching losses are critical.
For engineers reviewing the STTH806DIRG datasheet, STTH806DIRG pinout, STTH806DIRG application, or STTH806DIRG equivalent, key selection criteria include its 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage, 35 ns trr at 25 °C, 4.0 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance, insulated package safety compliance, and suitability for high-frequency flyback and PFC stages.
Technical Context
The STTH806DIRG employs ST's Turbo 2 silicon technology to achieve ultrafast soft-recovery behavior with controlled reverse recovery current (IRM ≤ 6.5 A) and low stored charge (Qrr typ. < 35 nC). Its design targets minimal voltage overshoot and EMI generation during turn-off in hard-switched topologies.
Operating up to 175 °C junction temperature and rated for 90 A non-repetitive surge current, it supports robust thermal management via direct heatsink mounting through its insulated tab - eliminating need for additional insulating washers while maintaining 2500 VRMS isolation between case and cathode/anode terminals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 600 V - Withstands repetitive reverse voltages up to 600 V, enabling use in 400 V AC-input PFC and offline SMPS designs. |
| IF(AV) | 8 A at Tc = 120 °C - Sustains average forward current of 8 A with proper heatsinking, matching mid-power adapter and industrial PSU requirements. |
| trr (max) | 35 ns at IF = 0.5 A, VR = 30 V - Enables operation at switching frequencies >100 kHz with low turn-off loss and reduced snubber stress. |
| VF (typ) | 1.10 V at IF = 8 A, Tj = 150 °C - Delivers low conduction loss under full-load thermal conditions, improving system efficiency. |
| Rth(j-c) | 4.0 °C/W - Thermal resistance from junction to insulated case enables predictable thermal design without dielectric interface compromises. |
| Isolation | 2500 VRMS - Certified reinforced insulation allows safe mounting on grounded heatsinks in Class I equipment without extra barriers. |
| CJ (typ) | 7 pF at VR = 30 V - Low junction capacitance minimizes capacitive coupling noise and improves high-frequency rectification fidelity. |
Pinout & Package
STTH806DIRG uses an insulated TO-220AC package (package code: TO-220AC Ins), with metal tab electrically isolated from both anode and cathode terminals. Mounting torque: 0.80 Nm (max 1.0 Nm). Epoxy meets UL94 V0.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (Lead 1) | Input terminal for forward conduction path | Connected to AC or switching node side; must withstand full reverse voltage when off. |
| Cathode (Lead 2) | Output terminal for forward conduction path | Drives DC bus or output capacitor; carries full load current and defines reference potential. |
| Insulated Tab | Thermal interface only - no electrical connection | Enables direct mounting to grounded heatsink while maintaining 2500 VRMS isolation between circuit and chassis. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultrafast soft recovery | trr ≤ 35 ns with softness factor ≥ 1.2 - Reduces voltage ringing and EMI in hard-switched converters without snubber tuning. |
| Low thermal resistance (insulated) | Rth(j-c) = 4.0 °C/W - Achieves comparable thermal performance to non-insulated TO-220AC despite isolation barrier. |
| High surge capability | IFS M = 90 A (10 ms sine) - Survives inrush and transient overloads common in industrial motor drives and UPS systems. |
| High-temperature operation | Tj(max) = 175 °C - Supports compact, sealed, or high-ambient designs without derating penalties below 125 °C ambient. |
| ECOPACK® compliant | Lead-free second-level interconnect - Meets RoHS and JEDEC JESD97 marking standards for environmental compliance and traceability. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| STTH8R06DJF | Same VRRM (600 V), lower IF(AV) (6 A), DPAK package, non-insulated tab | Requires external insulation for grounded heatsink mounting; limited to lower-current designs | Select when board space is constrained and thermal budget allows smaller package with added isolation hardware. |
| IXYS MUR860E | 600 V, 8 A, 35 ns trr, TO-220AC non-insulated, Rth(j-c) = 2.5 °C/W | No built-in isolation - mandates mica washer or silicone pad for chassis-grounded heatsinks | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial PSUs where isolation is managed externally and lower thermal resistance is prioritized. |
Compared with STTH8R06DJF and MUR860E, STTH806DIRG uniquely integrates 2500 VRMS insulation into the TO-220AC form factor - eliminating discrete isolation components while retaining 4.0 °C/W thermal resistance and full 8 A/600 V capability, making it optimal for safety-critical, space-constrained, and thermally demanding industrial rectification.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended mounting torque for STTH806DIRG?
The datasheet specifies a recommended torque value of 0.80 Nm with a maximum allowable torque of 1.0 Nm. Exceeding 1.0 Nm risks damaging the leadframe or compromising the internal insulation integrity of the TO-220AC Ins package. Consistent torque application ensures optimal thermal contact without mechanical stress-induced parameter shift.
Does STTH806DIRG require a thermal pad or insulator when mounted to a grounded heatsink?
No - the insulated TO-220AC package provides 2500 VRMS isolation between the metal tab and both anode and cathode terminals. This eliminates the need for mica washers, silicone pads, or other external insulators, simplifying assembly and improving thermal transfer efficiency compared to standard TO-220AC diodes.
How does STTH806DIRG's soft recovery behavior affect EMI in switch-mode designs?
With a typical softness factor ≥1.2 and controlled IRM ≤6.5 A, STTH806DIRG suppresses high-frequency voltage spikes during reverse recovery, reducing broadband conducted EMI by up to 10 dB in the 30–100 MHz range. This lowers filter component count and eases EMC certification in Class B industrial equipment.
Can STTH806DIRG replace STTH806D in existing designs without layout changes?
Yes - STTH806DIRG shares identical TO-220AC footprint and pinout with STTH806D, but features an insulated tab instead of a conductive one. No PCB layout change is needed; however, the insulated version allows direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without additional isolation hardware, improving thermal and safety margins.
