170 V blocking, 15 A per die — the common-cathode pair that handles the high rail
The fast recovery spec (≤500 ns at >200 mA) means this diode is built for switching circuits where reverse recovery losses matter — think PFC boost stages, output rectification in high-voltage DC-DC converters, and solar inverter freewheeling paths.
Junction temperature ceiling and leakage — the thermal budget drivers
Rated for a maximum junction temperature of 175°C, the STPS30170CW can handle sustained thermal stress in confined enclosures, but the reverse leakage of 20 µA at 170 V climbs sharply with temperature — derate the forward current above 100°C to keep the die within its SOA.
