600 V, 60 A fast recovery diode for power conversion stages
The Infineon IDW30E60FKSA1 is a general-purpose fast recovery diode rated at 600 V reverse voltage and 60 A average rectified current, housed in a through-hole TO-247-3 package (PG-TO247-3). It is designed for boost PFC stages, output rectification in switched-mode power supplies, and freewheeling paths in motor drives and inverters where fast turn-off and low recovery losses matter. The 143 ns reverse recovery time (trr) keeps switching losses manageable in hard-switched topologies, and the 175 °C maximum junction temperature provides thermal headroom for high-power-density layouts.
143 ns trr — what it means for the switching loop
The 143 ns trr keeps switching losses manageable in hard-switched topologies, reducing the reverse-recovery charge the IGBT or MOSFET must absorb during turn-on.
Forward voltage and leakage at operating point
Forward voltage is 2 V maximum at 30 A. Reverse leakage is 40 µA at 600 V.
Package and mounting — TO-247-3 through-hole
The TO-247-3 (PG-TO247-3) is a standard through-hole power package with a large copper tab for heatsink attachment. The three-pin layout — anode, cathode, and a no-connect or gate (depending on device type) — matches the footprint used across Infineon's 60 A diode and IGBT families. The tube shipping format suits manual or wave-solder assembly; no reel or tray handling required.
Lifecycle and compliance — active, ROHS3
The IDW30E60FKSA1 carries an active product status with ROHS3 compliance. No last-time-buy or end-of-life notices are published for this ordering code.
