75 ns trr — the scorch-mark tells you
The STTH212 is a 1200 V, 2 A fast-recovery rectifier in a DO-201AD axial-lead package. The junction is rated to 175 °C max, which matters when the part is bolted into a cramped chassis with marginal airflow — the thermal margin is real.
ST lists the STTH212 as Obsolete. If you're repairing a board that carries this diode, the path is either a pin-compatible fast-recovery diode from another manufacturer (same DO-201AD footprint, 1200 V, 2 A, trr ≤ 75 ns) or sourcing remaining stock through independent distribution. The 1.75 V forward drop at 2 A is a check point when selecting a substitute — a part with significantly higher Vf will run hotter in the same hole.

Because the STTH212 is obsolete, standard distributor shelves are empty.
