The 25 ns reverse recovery time places it in the ultrafast class — the recovery charge is low enough that a 100 kHz PFC or LLC converter sees negligible switching loss from the diode alone. Common-cathode configuration means the two diodes share the cathode tab, so this is a drop-in for center-tap secondary rectification or a boost PFC stage where the two anodes connect to separate windings or inductors.
TO-220FP — the full-pack thermal trade-off
The TO-220FP full-pack package isolates the tab electrically — no heatsink insulation washer needed. The thermal penalty is roughly 2–3 °C/W higher RthJC versus a standard TO-220, so the 8 A per diode rating assumes adequate heatsinking. Junction temperature maxes at 175 °C; for a 5 A load with 1.1 V forward drop the dissipation per diode is 5.5 W, and the pair in the same package shares the heatsink interface. Budget the thermal resistance of the mounting surface accordingly.
Active, ROHS3, through-hole — sourcing posture
The through-hole TO-220FP package is standard for power assembly lines — no reflow profile concerns.
