Product details

The STMicroelectronics STPR1520D is a fast-recovery epitaxial rectifier diode rated for 15 A average forward current and 200 V repetitive reverse voltage. Its 30 ns reverse recovery time puts it in the class of ultrafast rectifiers suitable for switching power supplies operating above 50 kHz — think PFC boost stages, flyback secondary-side rectification, and output OR-ing diodes in 100–150 W off-line converters. It is a single-junction standard diode, not a dual or center-tap pair.

The 30 ns reverse recovery time (trr) is the spec that separates this from a standard 50/60 Hz rectifier. In a 100 kHz hard-switched converter, a trr of 30 ns keeps the reverse-recovery charge low enough that the MOSFET or IGBT doesn't see excessive turn-on loss or ringing. The 15 A average rating is continuous — the device can handle repetitive surge currents higher than that, but the TO-220AC case needs a heatsink for any sustained load above a few amps. Forward voltage drop is 1.25 V maximum at 30 A pulsed (not continuous), so expect around 0.9–1.0 V at 15 A continuous; that's about 15 W of dissipation, which a modest clip-on heatsink can manage. Reverse leakage is 50 µA at 200 V, which is fine for offline applications.

If you are designing a new board, look at ST's current fast-recovery rectifier family in TO-220AC (e.g. STTH series) for a pin-compatible alternative with similar or better trr, but verify the forward voltage and current rating against your thermal budget.

Frequently asked questions

What is the STPR1520D replacement?

STMicroelectronics has not announced a direct drop-in replacement for the STPR1520D. For a functionally similar part in the same TO-220AC package, look at the STTH series (e.g. STTH15AC06 or STTH15AC10) — these offer comparable or faster trr and similar current ratings. Always check forward voltage, reverse voltage, and thermal performance against your specific application.

What are the specifications of the STPR1520D?

The STPR1520D is a 15 A average, 200 V repetitive reverse voltage fast-recovery rectifier with a 30 ns reverse recovery time. Maximum forward voltage is 1.25 V at 30 A pulsed. Reverse leakage is 50 µA at 200 V. Junction temperature maximum is 150 °C. Package is TO-220AC (through-hole).
