The STTH1L06RL is a 600 V, 1 A fast recovery rectifier from STMicroelectronics, built for the secondary-side and PFC stages of switch-mode power supplies where recovery speed directly affects efficiency and ringing. Its 80 ns reverse recovery time (trr) is the key differentiator from a standard 50/60 Hz rectifier — it lets the diode turn off before the next switching cycle, keeping the reverse-recovery charge out of the MOSFET or IGBT turn-on loss budget.
DO-41 axial — footprint and lead forming
The DO-204AL (DO-41) axial package is a through-hole format with a body diameter of about 2.7 mm and lead diameter of 0.86 mm. If your board uses a 0.100-inch pitch hole pattern, the lead spacing on the reeled part is pre-set; confirm the lead form matches your PTH layout before committing the BOM line.
1.3 V forward drop at rated current
Forward voltage is 1.3 V maximum at 1 A, 25 °C junction. That 1.3 W conduction loss at full load is manageable in a DO-41 package if the ambient stays below 70 °C and the leads are soldered into a reasonable copper pad area.
For a new design that needs a through-hole fast recovery diode at 600 V / 1 A, this part is a straightforward BOM entry without a sourcing clock ticking.
