What this SiC Schottky is and where it fits
The Infineon IDH15S120A is a 1.2 kV, 15 A silicon carbide Schottky diode in the CoolSiC™+ family, housed in a TO-220-2 through-hole package. Its zero reverse recovery time eliminates the switching losses that plague silicon fast-recovery diodes in hard-switched topologies like PFC boost stages, LLC converters, and motor-drive inverters. The 175 °C maximum junction temperature gives headroom for thermally demanding environments such as industrial power supplies, solar inverters, and EV charging infrastructure.
Package and mounting
Zero reverse recovery time (0 ns trr) eliminates the turn-on loss spike in the driving MOSFET or IGBT.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The IDH15S120A is marked as Active in production — no end-of-life notice or last-time-buy risk on the horizon. For volume BOM planning, this part is a stable line item with no imminent replacement pressure.
