The STTH15R06FP is a 600 V, 15 A fast-recovery diode from STMicroelectronics, built with standard planar technology. Its headline spec is the 50 ns reverse recovery time (trr), which cuts switching losses in hard-switched topologies like PFC boost stages and secondary-side rectification in SMPS. Junction temperature tops out at 175°C, giving thermal margin for continuous full-load operation in a cramped enclosure.
600 V / 15 A — sizing the diode for the rail
Rated for 600 V reverse voltage and 15 A average rectified current, this diode fits high-voltage bulk supplies, motor drive snubbers, and UPS rectifier stages. The forward drop is 2.9 V at 15 A — that's on the higher side, so conduction loss needs a heatsink calculation at full load. Reverse leakage is 60 µA at 600 V, which is tight enough to keep standby losses low in offline designs.
