6A per leg, 25 ns recovery — what that means for the circuit
The RF601T2DNZC9: That 25 ns trr puts it in the ultrafast class — it switches off quickly enough for the output stage of a 100 kHz+ SMPS without the diode staying on and burning through the MOSFET's body diode. Each of the two diodes in the common-cathode pair handles 6 A continuous. The 930 mV forward drop at 3 A is low for a fast recovery part, so conduction loss stays manageable in a continuous-current PFC or boost stage.
TO-220FN — the fully isolated tab saves assembly time
The TO-220-3 Full Pack (TO-220FN) package has a fully molded, isolated tab. No separate insulating washer or bushing needed when bolting to a heatsink — the tab is the plastic overmold, not exposed metal. That means one fewer part to stock and one less assembly step on the line. Through-hole mounting, standard TO-220 leadframe. The common cathode is the center pin; the two anodes are the outer pins. Orientation is obvious from the package marking — no lab bench needed to figure out which leg is which.
