SiC Schottky — zero-recovery switch for high-voltage rails
The STPSC10H12GY-TR is a Silicon Carbide Schottky diode rated for 1200 V reverse voltage and 10 A average forward current. It delivers zero reverse recovery time — the SiC barrier eliminates the stored-charge tail that forces silicon ultrafast diodes to burn switching energy and require snubber networks. For a PFC stage or a 400 V–800 V DC-DC converter, this part lets you push switching frequency higher without the recovery loss penalty.
Automotive-grade — AEC-Q101 and 175°C junction
This diode carries AEC-Q101 qualification, so it is released for automotive stress profiles — under-hood, transmission, or on-engine electronics where ambient temperature pushes junction temperature to 175°C. The ECOPACK®2 series means the package is halogen-free and RoHS3 compliant, matching the material restrictions for high-volume automotive lines.
D²PAK package — rework and thermal reality
The D²PAK (TO-263) is a surface-mount power package with an exposed copper tab on the bottom. The 0.50 mm lead pitch is standard for this package; the leads are formed for gull-wing soldering, which gives a visible solder joint for inspection. Under a hot-air station the tab soaks heat fast — preheat the board to 125°C before rework, or the tab pulls enough thermal mass to cold-solder the joint.
