The STPSC16H065AW is a 650 V, 16 A Silicon Carbide Schottky diode from STMicroelectronics, part of the ECOPACK®2 series. Its defining characteristic is zero reverse recovery time (trr = 0 ns), which eliminates the switching losses and ringing associated with silicon fast-recovery diodes.
TO-247-3 package — mounting and thermal path
Housed in a TO-247-3 through-hole package, the STPSC16H065AW is designed for bolt-on heatsinking. The large tab provides a low thermal resistance path to the heatsink; plan for an insulating pad or thermal grease depending on whether the heatsink is grounded. The three-lead format is standard for power diodes in this current class, and the through-hole mounting is preferred for high-vibration environments like motor drives or UPS systems.
STMicroelectronics lists the STPSC16H065AW as Active.
