It is designed for high-efficiency switching in applications such as solar inverters, EV charging, and industrial power supplies where the 1200 V drain-source rating gives headroom on a 600–800 V DC bus. The 100 mOhm on-resistance at 20 A and 20 V gate drive sets the conduction loss floor — at 20 A the dissipation is 40 W, which the 270 W package power rating can handle with adequate heatsinking. Gate charge of 105 nC at 20 V is moderate for a 1200 V SiC part; a gate driver delivering 2 A peak can switch it in under 100 ns, keeping switching losses manageable at frequencies up to 100 kHz. ## Junction temperature range and package — design-in checklist The -55°C to 200°C junction temperature range qualifies the SCTWA30N120 for high-reliability environments — avionics, downhole drilling, and outdoor telecom where the ambient can exceed 85°C and the junction sees repetitive thermal cycling. The TO-247-3 package with HiP247 Long Leads is a standard through-hole footprint — the long leads ease insertion into thick PCB or bus-bar assemblies, and the tab is the drain, so the heatsink pad is at drain potential. Input capacitance is 1700 pF at 400 V drain-source — this is the Ciss the driver sees; the low value relative to the current rating means the driver's peak current requirement stays moderate, but the gate loop inductance must be kept under 10 nH to avoid ringing. No official second-source or pin-compatible alternate is listed in the component record — the TO-247-3 SiC MOSFET market includes parts from Wolfspeed and Rohm, but pin-compatibility should be verified against the specific gate-drive and mounting-hole layout.","metaTitle":"STMicro SCTWA30N120 SiC MOSFET, 1200 V, 100 mOhm, TO-247-3","metaDescription":"SCTWA30N120 SiC N-channel MOSFET: 1200 Vdss, 100 mOhm Rds(on) at 20 A, 45 A continuous, TO-247-3.
