The FERD structure delivers a forward voltage of 560 mV at 20 A — lower than a comparable ultrafast silicon diode — while keeping reverse leakage at 230 µA at 60 V, which is higher than a Schottky at the same voltage but manageable with proper heatsinking. The fast-recovery characteristic (≤ 500 ns, > 200 mA) makes it suitable for continuous-conduction-mode PFC stages, output rectification in flyback converters, and freewheeling diodes in motor-drive snubbers where the recovery speed reduces switching losses without the cost premium of an ultrafast diode. ## Package and thermal path — the I2PAK advantage This simplifies assembly and reduces the thermal resistance path compared to a non-isolated TO-220 with a mica pad. The trade-off is the through-hole footprint — the I2PAK takes more board area than a D²PAK or TO-252, so it is better suited to point-of-load rectifier stages than high-density SMT layouts. ROHS3 compliant. The active status means no allocation or LTB premium, but the lead time depends on the distributor's inventory position at the moment of the RFQ.","metaTitle":"ST FERD20M60SR FERD Diode, 60V 20A, TO-262 Full Pack","metaDescription":"ST FERD20M60SR Field Effect Rectifier Diode, 60V reverse, 20A average, 560mV Vf at 20A.

The trade-off is that the FERD can handle higher junction temperatures (175 °C max) and has a softer recovery characteristic than a Schottky, reducing ringing in hard-switching applications."},{"question":"What is the reverse recovery time of FERD20M60SR?","answer":"The listed speed is Fast Recovery ≤ 500 ns at > 200 mA forward current. This is a typical fast-recovery range — not an ultrafast diode, but fast enough for 50–100 kHz hard-switching converters and PFC stages where recovery losses are a secondary concern."},{"question":"Where can I find the datasheet for FERD20M60SR?","answer":"The datasheet is available from STMicroelectronics' website or through the distributor's product page.
