The STMicroelectronics STTH1212G is a 1200 V, 12 A fast recovery rectifier diode in a D2PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package.
100 ns trr at 1200 V — the switching-speed tradeoff
A 100 ns trr at 1200 V is a meaningful spec: it means the diode recovers fast enough for switching frequencies in the tens of kilohertz without excessive turn-off losses. That speed comes with a forward drop of 2.2 V at 12 A, so conduction loss is higher than a slower standard-recovery diode.
STMicroelectronics lists the STTH1212G as Obsolete. No factory orders or last-time-buy windows remain. The only supply channel is independent distribution — surplus inventory, new-old-stock, or broker-sourced lots.
